About MWCGC
The Purpose of the Midwest Color Guard Circuit to Promote Color Guard Contests, Thereby Perpetuating the Pageantry and Effectiveness of the Member Units for Charitable & Educational Purposes.
Well-Known for Member Community
Our circuit is well-known for the closeness of its members. By the end of each season, many guard members have made friendships with members of other guards, and it is normal even to see guards who compete against each other helping each other out with props or tarps. Our directors all know each other, and the climate of the competitions is very comfortable and nurturing while still being competitive.
Since our circuit allows performers of all ages to compete, we often have the unique opportunity to see a performer start in their first guard, then move on to their high school guard, and then on to an independent guard and even senior guard in some cases! The Midwest Circuit is one of the few circuits where you can see performers grow and develop over many years.
MWCGC is an Official WGI Circuit Partner
The Midwest Circuit aligns very closely with Winter Guard International (WGI). Our by-laws and show format are based on WGI, and we try to secure WGI judges for our shows as often as possible. Many of our member units compete in WGI, their state circuit, and the Midwest Circuit. This allows units to be seen more often by WGI judges and bigger audiences.
