The Third Degree Winter Ensemble is performing this year's show to an edited version of The Bare Naked Ladies song "Light Up MY Room" found on their latest CD entitled "Stunt." Guard members spin a variety of equipment including Flags, Rifles and Sabres. The latest edition to the visual effect of their show is the floor they purchased recently from Just Class, an Independent World Guard out of Baltimore, MD. The guard is really excited to have the opportunity to enhance the visual effect of their show even more. Their uniforms are hand made pink dresses in three different styles. The two male members of the guard wear pink genie pants and white shirts. Their flags are white with purple and red hearts sponge painted in three different designs. Gold thread entertwines through each pattern to imply that their hearts are attatched to someone special in their lives.

Third Degree Winter Ensemble is proud to support other guards in TIA Chapter 9. McKean High School is their favorite "competition." Glasgow and McKean have a very strong relationship and tend to brag to others that they are "sister guards." Both guards make a point of rejoicing for each other's victories as well as offering reassurance on those rare bad days. Third Degree is also a proud supporter of Brandywine High School, Dickenson High School, and Wilmington Campus Colorguard. It is important that guards support each other in the scholastic stage of the game. Good relationships with other units make the activity much more worthwhile and enjoyable for everyone involved.
