This video of one of the founding WGI high schools that competed directly against the independent (mostly Top 12 DCI) winter guards makes an incredibly quick history lesson about the single decade that so dramatically changed everything for winter guard. Watch how color guard goes from outdoor field marked off with a single snare drummer, to indoors. . . and the rapid fire developments by year which mirror our sport - although honestly my opinion is that if you notice in the retreat images -- style, character, and costuming. . . this HS was out in front as an innovator, ahead of the curve. Note: Many people I know, including myself for a while, were not aware of the Northmen = North Syracuse = CNS = Cicero North Syracuse = Northstars connections.
