Armada Cadet Guard and Mini Guard will begin as soon as we have sufficient numbers to start teaching these guards. Please spread the word and have folks register if interested.

It is best to participate in person at the auditions so we can really find the best group for you but we know that it is not always possible due to performance commitments.  So if you can’t make it on November 1, please submit a video audition by midnight Oct 31, 2025.  Be sure to register to ensure you get the latest information, even if you plan on a video submission.
