Winter Guard
Winter guard is the sport of indoor Color Guard. Modern Color Guard is a combination of the use of flags, sabers, mock rifles, and other equipment, as well as dance and other interpretive movement. Most color guards can be found in, high schools, middle schools, and some universities, but independent organizations exist as well, affiliated more with a geographical location or drum corps, rather than a school system.
For the 2024 Winter Season, Cupertino High School will be returning to compete in the local circuit, The California Color Guard Circuit (The CCGC) and Winter Guard International (WGI).
Students in grades 10, 11 & 12, who meet the attendance and participation requirements will receive 0.5 PE credits. Freshmen are not eligible to earn PE credits for their involvement in sports.
Students do not need to join marching band to participate in Winter Guard.
