Who We Are
In 2002, Mary Dooley, then-coordinator of USF's Herd of Thunder Colorguard, started the Winterguard to continue the program's development and keep membership active during the winter months. As members of the Winterguard at USF, we perform as a visual unit that strives for excellence, education and entertainment for our audience and teammates.
What We Do
We are raising funds to send the USF Winterguard to the World Championships after earning a qualifying spot. Your support helps reduce the financial burden on our student performers by covering travel, lodging, uniforms, equipment, and competition expenses — ensuring they can represent USF on the world stage.
The Impact
Gifts to this fund will provide opportunities for students to pursue their passion in the performing arts. Your support will also go toward the operational needs of Winterguard and offset the costs of the Winterguard season for performers.
What Your Generosity Will Do
Your generosity enhances every aspect of the Winterguard experience — from providing high-quality equipment and performance materials to ensuring students can fully participate in local and national competitions. Your support helps create an environment where performers can grow, excel and represent USF with pride.
