Étude Winter Guard

About

Étude Winter Guard was founded in the fall of 2004 in Rock Hill, SC. The purpose was to provide an independent performance ensemble to the Charlotte area.Since its foundation, Étude has competed in Independent A Class, Open Class, and World Class. What began as a small, tight-knit group soon built into a large organization. But don't worry, we still feel like a family.In 2020, Étude expanded into two groups, fielding World Class and A Class units. In 2023, the A Class Color Guard was promoted into Open Class and earned a silver medal at WGI Open Class Finals and were thus promoted to World Class. This season, Étude has decided to field one World Class unit.
