After a largely successful 2007 season, the Independence Winter Guard of Tinley Park, Illinois celebrates it's 10th Anniversary this year. 

Independence has the philosophy that all members must be encouraged to learn using the fundamental rules established by WGI and MWCGC and grow as both performers and as people.  This growth is achieved by cooperation, respect and teamwork within the members ranks, staff and also other Winter Guards.  

Over the past 10 years, many individuals have been generous with their time and effort in keeping this once small organization thriving. Since its inception, the Independence Winter Guard has maintained an all volunteer staff. Many talented individuals have graced this organization with their abilities and positive attitudes to instruct our members and help them grow as individuals. Thank you to everyone who has given of their time over the years!!

Thank you to our parent organization, families, friends, local high school units, past members and the entire Mid West Color Guard Circuit for your support of Independence over the past 9 years. You have helped in so many ways!
