South Caldwell Fall & Winter Guard
The South Caldwell Winter Guard is a competitive unit of the Carolina Winter Ensemble Association (CWEA). The program runs from November - March, and expects the highest commitment of it's members.
Our program has grown over the years, and currently offers two high school winter guards ("Elite" & "Elect"), as well as two middle school winter guards ("Competition Cadet", and "Junior Cadets").
All groups rehearse twice a week at scheduled times. We would like to say a HUGE thank you to Baton Elementary School & Sawmills Elementary School - who we could not function without their help!
UPCOMING DATES AND INFO
Colorguard members are expected to attend the following dates to prepare for the fall season. Each meeting we will be working on technique, team building exercises, and learning our show routine. Please contact the staff immediately with any conflicts!​
