Performing Arts Training: It takes about a year for a child to learns how to march and two to three years to be a part of the "Big Guard". Rehearsals include discussions on life skills and helping members develop a sense of self-discipline, dedication, teamwork and respect for each other. The chance to perform before an appreciative crowd raises their self-esteem and motivates them to continue working hard in school and at rehearsals. Being part of the team allows young people to travel beyond their neighborhood and meet others from different backgrounds. Winter guard international competition requires specific movements and different equipment, demanding a higher level of commitment and skill. Recreational activities keep youth engaged in the program.
