A bunch of girls and guys(typically of the gay variety) that dance and spin with flags and do other LGBT things. Typically includes very tight-fitting spandex
Man look at all the spandex on Dom, he must be doing winter guard
This is an extention of Colorguard. Members wear massive amount of Makeup and Interesting Costumes to portray emotion and perform prerecorded music. This is one of the hardest things you can do.
We Dance better than the Dance Team (DUH) and Spin gracefully or Fastley a Flag, Rifle, Sabre.
Winterguard is the sport of the arts. Girls (and guys) work for months before compitions even start. Sometimes even before they are scheduled. Members of the team work their butts off spinning flag, rifle, and sabre. They dance, memorize drill, and work their butts off to get in shape. People say it isn't sport. You tell me next time i'm at practice and i'm doing conditioning. Also, when it's the 'off season' (known as fall and summer season) they are also working. Then they are working with the band. Which pretty much is the same practice schedule. It's intense! (oh...and we're NOT drill team)
Little girl: wow...look at the drill team
winterguard member: uhh....ya no. COLORguard.
Little girl: oh....
Winterguard member: (smile and walk back proudly)
An extremely difficult sport in which usually teenage girls dress up in various manners and perform infront of many people. In some winterguards, members have very simple makeup, others, more extravagent makeup. The winterguard members can use flags, rifles, sabres, and sometimes maces (flags on chains). The winterguard is an extension of colorguard.
"Our winterguard theme this year is White Houses by Vanessa Carlton."
"I am using a sabre and flag in our performance."
