SHU's guard program is a phenomenal group of students who love to spin!  The program is split into two parts.  In the fall semester the guard is part of the marching band which performs a field show for home football games and at a few high school exhibitions.  We also will spin in a parade or two, such as the Columbus Day Parade in NYC.  Toward the end of the fall semester, the transition begins toward Winter Guard which continues through the Spring semester. The Winter Guard competes at the local and national levels in the MAC (Musical Arts Conference) and WGI (Winterguard International) circuits. 

Members must be part of the fall Color Guard to be eligible to participate in Winter Guard.   Both flag and weapon skills are utilized, though weapon experience is not required.  Members must complete an audition prior to the fall semester to be a member of the guard program.  The Winterguard competes in the Independent A class in MAC and WGI.
