Which is Better: Colorguard or Winterguard. Why?

[Worlds Smallest Violin]

I prefer Colorguard for many reasons. I love to be with the band and the competitions are more exciting and weird. I love Winterguard, but marching band is just more fun recreationally. Artistically, winterguard is better, though, because we have more freedom. So it goes both ways.

I love them bith but winterguard is better to me. Theres no pesky winds to get in the way

I love the autumn season. Marching band is way better than winterguard.

I think that both Color Guard and Winterguard are necessary for a well-rounded program.

Color Guard teaches you to deal with potentially adverse situations (curse you, Wind! Bloody soaked-to-the-bone Rain! ect...), but you can fudge your work somewhat, hand positions and whatnot. So long as it looks right, not many people will notice from far away.

In Winterguard, you don't have to compete with the elements, but attention detail is amazingly important. There can be no fudging when the audience, not to mention judges, are right in front of you.

So, if you march both, then it just lets you grow in skill and ability.

Coincidentally, I do winterguard music design, so obviously winterguard is better! You can check out my work here:
