History

|
|

|
Irondale High School's Winter Guard was started in 1990 to further train the guard
members for the marching band.
Very quickly the Winter Guard developed a name for itself as being an
innovative and creative force
in the North Star Color
Guard Circuit. Through the years the
Irondale Winter Guard
has always placed education,
musical, and personal growth over competition.
In 1995 the Winter Guard entered into the Winter Guard International circuit by attending
the WGI Midwest Regional and
has continued to do so every year since.
The Winter Guard has been a regional finalist since 1996 placing as
high as second in that very prestigious regional.
In 2002 the Irondale Winter Guard was honored to be crowned the WGI Scholastic Open Class World Champions,
one of the highest
achievements a guard can obtain in the winter guard activity.
The guard was promoted to Scholastic World Class due to their score
at the championship show.
The guard continues to strive for new and educational experiences for its
members
and remains committed to its
original philosophy as being an integral part of the marching activities
at Irondale High School.
