Grey Ghost Color Guard

The Grey Ghost Color Guard elevates each marching band performance with visually striking routines using flags, rifles, and dance. Their precise choreography brings music to life, showcasing the artistry and athleticism of each member.

In addition to their fall performances, the Color Guard participates in the Winter Guard, where they compete independently on the Midwest Color Guard Circuit. This indoor season allows the team to refine their skills further, performing intricate routines that highlight their dedication and commitment to excellence.

Winter Guard Fees

Participation fees for Winter Guard are separate from Marching Band fees and are necessary to support the costs of the Winter Guard Program. Without fees, we would not be able to participate in MWCGC each year. In an effort to keep fees as low as possible, we also require the kids to participate in an annual fundraiser where proceeds go directly to Winter Guard.

Each year the Directors along with your Executive Booster Board determines the funds needed to participate in the program based on previous years expenses, expected expenses for the year, and the number of students we expect to have participating. 

The IVC Band Boosters is a registered non-profit organization therefore, our budget is for a zero profit or loss. Fees are kept as low as possible to ensure maximum participation. No student will be excluded for financial reasons however, it is your responsibility as a parent, along with your student, to participate in the many fundraising activities that are available to pay these fees. 

The Individual Ledger fundraisers we offer to our students and parents can completely off-set the fees, if optimized.

Please feel free to ask any questions along the way and attend booster meetings so you can see where every dollar goes.

2025 Winter Guard Fees are $300

Fees can be paid directly through CutTime where individual ledger funds can also be applied to your fees.

Alternatively, please use this form for a one time or recurring* payment for Winter Guard Fees. If you need to make a different payment arrangement, contact Treasurer.IVCbands@gmail.com  to communicate a payment option that would work for you.

*Automated recurring payments will be cancelled when fees are paid in full.

Payments can also be made by cash, checks made out to IVC Band Boosters, or any of the follow pay apps:.
