ATXguard Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 Hello,I am a high school counselor working with a student who is interested in continuing with color guard in college. Does anyone know of a list of US colleges/universities with Color Guard Teams? Respond on this list or email me directly at: lrosenman@mail.ab.mec.edu Thank you, Lindsay Rosenman Acton Boxborough Regional High School Acton, MA Many colleges have colorguards--any college that has a marching band will pretty much have a guard. Is the student interested in winter guard? That's a different matter entirely. Where is this student interested in attending college, what major? that information would help tremendously as well.

MHSmirage Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 (edited) Universities with programs competitive in WGI (pulled from wgi.org): Arizona State Boston University College Mont-Saint-Louis de Montreal Florida International University Heritage of McKendree University Midwestern State University James Madison University Missouri State University UConn Utah Valley University University of Texas University of Alabama University of South Florida Michigan State There may be more that compete in local circuits but not nationaly in Winter Guard International. Best thing to do is see if the school has a marching band. Most marching bands offer a scholarship per semester i.e. LSU, Arkansas and Georgia. Edit: I'll add schools that directly have winterguards.

Best thing to do is see if the school has a marching band. Most marching bands offer a scholarship per semester i.e. LSU, Arkansas and Georgia. Towson University in Baltimore, MD has a great outdoor color guard and is looking to start a winter guard that will compete WGI next season. The marching band also offers a $500 stipend for every marching band student. Also, TU will be marching in the 2009 Macy's Day Parade in NYC! Good luck!

ATXguard Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 Say huh? Are they competitive now? News to me. They competed in some TCGC shows and were scheduled to attend the Austin and Dallas regionalsl. They had planned to go to Dayton, but didn't make it. Last I heard the program was up in the air for 2010. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

summernowplease Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 University of Massachusetts has a great band program. Blessed Sac and Sacred Heart nearby, along with tons of other independent groups. West Chester University of PA - great outdoor, lots of winterguards in the area to march. (Black Watch, Light Brigade, Field of View, Alter Ego) University of Delaware has a big band, strong guard program, and an indoor color guard that competes locally and at WGI (Delazure) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
