Ether Independent was founded in 2022 by three alumni of Oak Ridge High School who marched together and dreamed of one day starting their own independent winter guard. Based in Houston, Texas. Ether provides a space for young adults to practice and improve their color guard skills while also teaching them life skills to be well rounded, successful adults. We compete in the Texas Color Guard Circuit (TCGC) and Winter Guard International (WGI) circuits in addition to having regular practices and performances.
Ether Independent aims to foster an all-inclusive, safe space for learning and personal growth that is accepting to all creeds, nationalities, genders, and identities, while striving to achieve excellence within the winter guard activity through exhilarating performances.

Ether Independent recently finished casting for the ’24-’25 season. We want to thank everyone who came to participate in our two rounds of auditions as well as those who have helped to make this season come together so smoothly. If you’re having FOMO and regret not trying out for Ether this season, please reach out to us immediately to see if we can make room for you before we get too far into the season. There are also plenty of volunteer opportunities open this season including floor crew, equipment managers, prop builders, and more. We’re also looking for assistance to secure low cost rehearsal space, hotels, rental cars, meals, etc.
