BOLD-BRAVE-BRIGHT

Welcome to Royal Guard Performing Arts!  We are happy you have found our site and hope you enjoy learning about our organization.  Our Board of Directors is excited to announce the addition of a NEW Winter Color Guard Ensemble for all performers ages 18 and over.  The guard launched in October for the 2025 Winter Guard Season.  See below for more information.

Although we do not currently have an active youth ensemble, we are encouraged by the enthusiasm we have received for our 18+ group and look forward to growing by starting with this new “building block.”

Our first five years have been filled with new beginnings, successes, challenges, failures (First Attempts in Learning), friendships, creations, rehearsals, performances, achievements, experiences, and dreams.

It takes many people and resources to build and maintain an organization. We thank everyone who has helped us get to this point!

As we turned the page to 2024 and looked to the future, we felt it was the right time to launch a new logo that more Boldly, Bravely and Brightly reflects our mission, vision, and core values.  

 

  • BOLD – Do the right things for the right reasons with passion and dedication.
  •  BRAVE- Be ethical, loyal, compassionate, and accountable even when things are difficult.
  •  BRIGHT – Create innovative and colorful solutions through collaboration with others.We hope you like the fresh look and thank you for your past, present and future support!

ALL AGE (18+) WINTER GUARD IS PREPARING FOR THE 2025 WINTER SEASON!

We are excited to announce that our All-Age Winter Guard launched in October and is still accepting members for the 2025 Winter Guard Season!

This ensemble is open to ALL performers, ages 18 and over.  Whether you just aged out of A and Open Class or stepped away for many years, we invite you to shake off the dust and get back on the performance floor.

We will be performing in the North Star Circuit shows this winter as well as the WGI New Brighton (MN) Regional.  We are also open to additional performance opportunities. 

The guard will have a manageable, adult-friendly schedule and reasonable Fees.  Members will not only be able to perform but will have educational opportuinties to expand their color guard acumen.

It is not too late to get in on the fun of our inaugural season.  We are getting close to finalizing our membership roster and performing cast. Contact us ASAP for information on our November schedule and/or to get more information about our program.  Email:  rgpa.mn@gmail.com.

Focusing on the Future 

Royal Guard Performing Arts was formed in the spring of 2019. Our vision is to educate and inspire future leaders by promoting our core values of accountability, compassion, dedication, collaboration, ethics, loyalty and passion.

Royal Guard Winter Guard started as our first ensemble and was comprised of members between the ages of 16-21.  In 2022, the winter guard not only performed locally but traveled regionally. The guard performed in two Winter Guard International (WGI) Regional events, and made their first appearance at the WGI World Championships in Dayton, Ohio. We are proud of the accomplishments of this group in its first few years.

As a new organization, we had many successes but also endured a variety of challenges.  Through them all, our dedicated group of performers, staff and leaders have chosen to focus on building a bright future.  Our Board is now exploring new ways to offer programming.  

In the fall of 2024, we launched a NEW winter color guard ensemble for adults of all ages.  This group will give adults a place to continue to perform and to gain additional education in all aspects of this unique Sport of the Arts.

We want to build a future that includes a broader membership base, year-round programming, and expanded leadership opportunities. We invite you to thoughtfully consider making a contribution to ensure a bright future for a growing group of members, who are proud to be part of the Royal Guard Performing Arts tradition.  Please contact us to learn more about tax deductible donations:  rgpa.mn@gmail.com.
