It's time to become a member of one of the best Winter Guard International Independent color guards in the world! This weekend around 30 color guards in Winter Guard International's (WGI) three "Independent" classes are meeting across the country to hold auditions for the 2018 season. Auditions and call-backs will continue on through October for a majority of the groups, so plan ahead!

Through WGI.org's new audition information hub, you can find the cost, location, and extra information about each of these ensembles' particular audition. If you're still thinking about auditioning, many groups have multiple audition weekends. So don't fret -- you can still register and show off your skills! Beware though, some ensembles hold multiple audition weekends with a requirement for prospective members to attend both auditions.

Here's a list of the Independent groups, organized by audition weekend's dates along the top. The groups are also organized alphabetically, separated by class going from Independent World to Independent A, from the top-down. If you see a group's name twice, that means, A) it has multiple audition weekends, or B) it has multiple independent guards between the three WGI classes.
