We don't even have tryouts. Most people in guard are in chorus or just doesn't do anything music related. I think only one person actually plays an instrument, and she's in strings.

Nope, I don't know of any guards around here FORCED to play an instrument, though many people are wind players and guard members (lots of clarinets, incidentally).
But during marching season, guard has the same PE-Band schedules as band members. Two periods after lunch each day in 100+ degree weather. :D

our band director would love it if all of us played an instrument, but if she made it mandatory, i think she knows she would lose a lot of girls. we have too much to do between guard and school to try to learn something else as well. that is very weird... i think they just want a bigger band.

you aren't required to, but a majority of us do, lots of us actually do winterguard and then march an instrument during mb season.
