What is Winter Colour Guard?

Winter guard is an indoor colour guard sport and performance art derived from military ceremonies.

Modern winter guard is a competitive, performance-based activity that incorporates choreographed staging, dance, and manipulation of equipment such as flags, prop rifles, and sabres (also known as "spinning").
​
Winter guard performances and competitions are held indoors typically ranging from 3 to 7 minutes depending on the guard level. Performances and competitions are hosted primarily in the USA with a few performances in Canada, including a dress rehearsal and a home show.
