The Santa Clara Vanguard Cadets Winter Percussion is an indoor marching percussion ensemble that travels and performs in competitions during the winter months each year. The WGI Open Class ensemble provides instruction and performance opportunities for intermediate to experienced young performers in the areas of marching percussion, concert "pit" percussion, and movement/choreography. Many members of the Winter Percussion will continue on with the Vanguard Cadets Drum & Bugle Corps during the summer.
