Winterguard is the sport of indoor color guard using flags, sabers, mock rifles and other equipment, as well as dance and other interpretive movement.

 

Unlike traditional color guard (flag spinning) teams, which perform outdoors on a football field or parade route accompanied by a marching band or drum corps, winterguard teams perform indoors to recorded music.

In competitions, winterguard teams are judged in the areas of talent, precision, creativity and horizontal orchestration (how all the elements create the larger picture/effect). Performances incorporate equipment, props, and dance moves.

 

 

The OPHS Winterguard is coached by Mr. Lindell Palmer and Ms. Paige Whitacre.
