Ether Winter Guard Events

As part of our community outreach program, our winter guard spin clinics are open to anyone that is interested in a fun opportunity to learn new color guard technique and improve your existing skills. Our goal is to teach, share, and learn new skills to help all members of the color guard community to grow. Our clinics also offer a first hand experience into the day-in-the-life of an Ether Independent winter guard cast member. Some clinics are held in cooperation with other local independent groups as we aim to grow and improve this sport of the arts for everyone in the Greater Houston Area and across the globe.

Winter Guard Auditions

Auditions are held every fall as we start each new winter guard season. Spots for our Winter Guard cast are open to the public and all experience levels are welcome.

Rehearsals and Performances

Rehearsals and performances are closed to the public and should only be attended by current cast members, staff, and volunteers. For more information, media requests, or interviews, please contact our us via email: [email protected].

Ether Independent Winter Guard Houston, Texas

2024-2025 Season

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.
