Winter Guard Fees

Winter Guard is an indoor color guard activity. Unlike traditional color guard, winter guard is performed indoors, usually in a gymnasium or an indoor arena. Performances make use of recorded music rather than a live band or orchestra. Winter guard ensembles perform at judged competitions officiated by local and regional associations.

The winter guard program functions as an auxiliary performance ensemble of the Dulles High School Band. All winter guard activities will be facilitated and governed by the Dulles High School Band.

The mission of the DHS Winter Guard program is to provide an opportunity for Dulles color guard students to further develop their artistic and technical performance skills through the marching band off-season. Through performance the students will also learn valuable life skills such as teamwork, self discipline, hard work, commitment and sportsmanship.
