Lakeville Guard
Our Mission
Established in 2016, Lakeville Color Guard is the color guard visual performance section in the Lakeville South and Lakeville North Marching Bands during summer/fall season.
Joining the program in 2020, Lakeville Winter Guard takes center stage and competes indoors as a united team during the winter season both locally, within Minnesota's Northstar Circuit and nationally, as members of WGI: Winter Guard International.
Lakeville Guard’s mission is inclusive performance opportunities for all children in "The Sport of the Arts."
We are a non-profit (501c3) with The Lakeville South Marching Band Booster Club.

Congratulations Lakeville Guard Class of 2024!
Latest News and Updates
WE WERE ON A BREAK!
It's that time of year already! We are getting set to make our summer/fall color guard teams for both Lakeville North and Lakeville South!
Come out and give our "open to all" color guard spin clinics a try for free! No prior experience needed. These sessions are for students currently in 6th-11th grade. Cadets (currently in 1st - 5th grade) info coming soon!
WGI: WE DID A THING!
Earlier this April, The Lakeville Guard Varsity Team competed in their FIRST EVER WGI World Championships in Dayton, Ohio. Performing their 2024 show "Match Point", our incredible performers put on quite a show and advanced to the semi-finals round (as a rookie team) and placed 24th overall earning these stunning competitors a place in the World Top 25 for their class!
But... the most amazing part of this year at WGI was the support and friendship the kids experienced from their MN friends and fellow competitors at River City Rhythm and our travel companions at Irondale High School! Hearing RCR and Irondale cheering for them from the stands instantly erased all the nerves and allowed them to shine!
We are incredibly grateful for our friends at River City Rhythm and Irondale High School!
