Aria Winterguard began in the fall of 2001 as a student
organization for the University of North Carolina at Greensboro. Although it
was affiliated with UNCG, membership was not limited to students of UNCG.
Aria's founders, Joseph Dix, Jeremy Dale, and Jay Poole, saw a need in the North
Carolina-Triad area for an independent winterguard program. Each had students
from different area high schools that had developed and wanted to continue
performing. Aria was the answer. |
