Winterguard is an indoor version of Colorguard that is performed inside of a gym using flag, rifles, sabres, and dance. JMU's Nuance Winteguard competes almost every weekend from January until the middle of April in the Atlantic Indoor Association (AIA) and Winterguard International (WGI) circuits.

They also travel to Winterguard International (WGI) competitions throughout the season, including the WGI World Championships in Dayton, Ohio, to compete on an International level. In 2010, Nuance was a WGI Semi-Finalist at World Championships, and in 2011 the group were WGI Finalists in the Independent A category, placing 9th in the world!
