An Independent Winterguard in the Heart of North Carolina What you need to audition  Yourself, your equipment and a great attitude! During the audition you will need to demonstrate an ability to learn choreography in the style of our upcoming program. Everyone must audition for movement and flag; however, rifle and sabre will be optional. Please provide your own rifle or sabre. Form-fitting rehearsal black attire is preferred. About our rehearsals   We build our rehearsal schedule with the understanding that our members must work, attend school and even teach their own guards. Rehearsals begin in early November and conclude in early April. Regular rehearsals are held at Northwest Guilford HS on Sundays, 9am-7pm, and Saturdays, 7pm-12am, Participation fees Participation fees are kept as low as possible while still allowing us to create a competitive program. All fees collected go directly to the entire program for items such as paint, fabric, travel, lodging and equipment. Fees may be paid in full at the beginning of the season or may be paid according to the preset payment plan. Membership Thank you to everyone who participated in our auditions! We are hard at work developing our 2012 program for you. Check back soon to meet the cast! Member login director@ariawinterguard.com
