Stub Category
There is not currently a stub category for performing arts, which is where this belongs. As a result of this missing category, there are also no categories for drama, musical comedy, melodrama, performance art, marching band, drum corps, operetta, and several other legitimate performing arts.

Concert classes
Shouldn't percussion concert classes be included in this? Ericore 18:55, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

Correction
It was put in the article that every color guard has different instructors for different aspects of the performance. This is not necessarily true, as it is different depending on the resources of the color guard. Such as the color guard I compete in only has one director that is present regularly, and we have a drill writer who comes in once a year, and we have a staff that comes in to work with us during practices every once in a while. Also, not all guards just have a captain for leadership. Many have more than one captain, and some have lieutenants as second-in-commands. Again, it simply depends on the organization.

Competition levels
There are many different Winter Guard circuits around the world. They all have the same types of class system but some of the circuits vary in how many sub levels they have. In the Midwest Color Guard circuit there are 11 different classes that groups from all over the Midwest can compete in. They range from little kid groups to professional level groups. The breakdown of the classes are as follows;

Scholastic cadet (SCADET)-Elementary and middle school kids apart of a school. independent cadet (CADET)-Elementary school and middle school kids not attached to any school. scholastic regional A (SRA)- high school kids apart of a school. training level independent regional A (RA)-high school kids not attached to a school. training level scholastic double (SAA)- high school kids attached to a school. intermediate level scholastic A (SA)-high school kids attached to a school. advanced level independent A (A)-high school and college kids not attached to a school. advanced level scholastic open (SO)-high school kids attached to a school. very advanced level independent open (O)-high school and college kids not attached to a school. very advanced level scholastic world (SW)-high school kids attached to a school. professional level independent world (IW)- no age limit not attached to a school. professional level. — Preceding unsigned comment added by NEWYEARS2014 (talk • contribs) 14:48, 10 February 2015 (UTC)

Performance Elements
Under "Rifles" there's a note about using the neck of the rifle for a "right-handed drop spin" - this begs the question of what a drop spin is, or what a left-handed drop-spin might be. Perhaps there should be a section for common moves used in the choreographies? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Heduanna (talk • contribs) 03:41, 16 February 2018 (UTC)

Rifles
I added to the rifles section. I did some research and added more about plastic and wooden rifles. Please let me know if there anything wrong with it!Ahenry131313 (talk) 16:06, 26 October 2018 (UTC)
