About the North Star Color Guard Circuit

The North Star Color Guard Circuit (NSC) offers a competitive and educational outlet during the winter months for color guard units. Our performance season begins in late January and culminates at the Circuit Championships typically held in late March or early April.

The NSC offers a variety of classifications to provide a positive experience for every group, regardless of skill level or resources. Our contests follow the rules and criteria of Winter Guard International (WGI) and are judged by both local and national judges trained to use the official WGI adjudication criteria. This commentary is aimed at providing both instructors and students the most comprehensive feedback available to further enhance and develop the skills of the individual color guard program.

Founded in 1962, the North Star Circuit is one of the most established and longest running circuit within Winter Guard International. Our long standing tradition of excellence makes membership within the NSC very beneficial in advancing your marching program.

Our Mission Statement

To provide opportunity for expression of the visual arts through competition, encouragement of leadership skills, and education advancement.
