Lakeville Community Winter Guard: Cadets


Youth Enrichment, K-12 Evening & Weekend / Winter Guard -
Enrichment Fall/Winter 2024-2025

The Cadets are our youth color guard made up of elementary and middle school aged students, starting in 1st grade, from all Lakeville Area Schools. This guard is intended for "new to color guard" kids who want to perform in "The Sport of the Arts" with less time commitment for busy families. They are coached by the Lakeville Guard coaches and mentored by Lakeville Guard veteran performers and recent graduates.

During the winter, the Cadets compete in the North Star Circuit alongside the older Lakeville Winter Guard teams.

The Cadets focus mainly on beginner movement, marching, drill, dance, choreography, and flag spinning skills. By the end of their first season, some are even starting beginner flag tosses and rifle work. They learn fast!
