Winter Guard
Winter Guard is an extension of our Marching Band program. This audition-based, extracurricular group meets during the winter season and competes in area and regional competitions. The Winter Guard season takes place indoors at school gyms.
The Ardrey Kell Color Guard has a long record of placing at or near the top in competitions in both Marching Band and Winter Guard.
