Our Mission

The Southeastern Color Guard Circuit (SCGC) fosters positive experiences for all who participate by promoting education, creativity, and freedom of expression through pageantry and the performing arts.

Since 1971

Founded at a Shoney's in Birmingham, SCGC began when Doug Noel, John Armstrong, Frank Godfrey, and Jim Gladson set out to give color guard in the Southeast a consistent, credible competitive home, patterned after the Midwest Colorguard Circuit.

Today, SCGC is a WGI Sport of the Arts circuit partner serving scholastic and independent color guard, percussion, and winds ensembles across the Southeast.
