Academy Winter Youth Guard
Description
The Academy is excited to offer this great program for our 18th year of activity. This program is designed for elementary & middle school students, ages 5-14. This activity is a great way to prepare students for high school guard programs or marching bands by introducing such elements as marching & drill. In addition, students will learn basic color guard skills & how to perform them!

The Academy Winter Youth Guard (AWYG) program begins this year in January and continues to April. We plan to participate in the WGAZ circuit events in person with one performing team. Participants will be required to wear a mask in rehearsal. Mask wearing will be optional at performances.

Membership fees will be $275 and will cover the 2023 costume, show shirt, instruction, and equipment rental.
