history
Cascadia Winterguard was born as friends got together and decided that performers in the Pacific Northwest deserved a new opportunity to develop their skills, foster new friendships, and share their passion for performance.
​
Our goal is to provide youth an exceptional performance experience based in an environment founded on the ideals of dedication, creativity, and respect. We aim to help our members develop new life skills and empower them to pursue excellence both on and off the competition floor.
​
Cascadia Winterguard is an Independent winterguard operated by Cascadia Performing Arts, Inc. We perform locally with both the Northwest Association for the Performing Arts and the Northwest Pageantry Association, as well as regionally and nationally with Winter Guard International.
