Our History:
In the group's first year, 2019, 12 members from Powhatan, Cumberland, Colonial Heights, and UNCG came together and learned a full winter winds show. This group persevered through missed rehearsals early in the season due to weather to compete at four shows. The group won first place at every show in route to becoming the 2019 WGI Richmond Regional Independent A Champion as well as the 2019 Atlantic Indoor Association Independent A Championship.
