Congratulation on joining the award-winning Creekview Winter Guard Program! We have three teams this season, Varsity, Junior Varsity, and a Cadet team. The staff is looking forward to a great season!

Winter Guard is an extra-curricular activity and part of the Creekview Band Program. It is not directly funded through the Cherokee County School System. The funds to operate the program are provided through participant fees and fundraising. Prompt payment of fees and participation in all fundraising activities is important to keeping our program competitive.
