Name Change HappenedWhen

When the 2021 -2022 season began, the A guard was made up of 11 young ladies, three of whom had marched with the guard previously. We had always struggled with our name “The Light” then shortened to “Light Winter Guard”. This seemed like an awesome change to change our name so it matched the name of the church which has been supporting us. After some inquiry Light Winter Guard became Alive Winter Guards. The A guard would be known as Alive Winter Guard and the Sr guard would eventually take on the name Barely Alive. This name was suggested by one of our members, Heather, and after a vote, it was unanimous Barely Alive was born. It helps when it’s members all have some kind of physical ailments that make color guarding more challenging!
