Riverdale High School is proud to support the efforts of our premier visual ensemble group: The Riverdale High School Winter Color Guard.  This indoor guard season, the Winter Guard (as we call it) has been restored to a 15-member group in order to perform for our school, for our local community and in the SFWGA and WGI circuits.  Currently, we are preparing to perform our newest show featuring the music of Tori Amos!  This year, we also welcome our outstanding and returning Visual Ensemble Instructor, Miss Melanie Lamphier.
