The staff provides women and men the opportunity to perform in various locations throughout a four state region. Participation also provides skills for the future including: problem solving, discipline, working collaboratively, and being the best possible version of yourself. The members and staff do their best to make everyone feel welcome and to build a community of trust and respect. The guard is sponsored by Alive Church, Ephrata, PA. It is because of this sponsorship that we are able to keep our dues very low by comparison to other teams. Dues are determined at the beginning of each season once the cast has been announced. Dues are based on cost and divided up by members.
