ABOUT US

 

WHO ARE THE AVENGERS?

The Avengers are a Performing Arts and Colour Guard organisation based at The Roebuck Sports Centre, Parker St, Preston.

The Avengers is run on an entirely voluntary basis and is a Registered Charity.

WHAT DO WE DO?

We Cater for young people, between the ages of 5 - 25 years old, who in the main, have no or little previous performing arts  experience and train them in the art of precision marching and dance displays to music using a range of equipment and props, such as flags, imitation rifles and sabres. We aim to provide a very worthwhile activity for the youth of our community.

HOW DO WE OPERATE?

The Avengers operates principally through a Board of Trustees made up from Parents, Friends and Staff and is governed by its Constitution.

The Membership elects the Board of Trustees and the Principal Officers annually. The Board of Trustees appoint the Senior Guard Director and approves any other necessary Directors and Staff as required. The Avengers also has a Support Group which meets regularly to develop fund raising ideas.

The Senior Guard Director and Staff are responsible for the day to day running of the organisation.

WHERE DO WE DO IT?

Quite simply all over the country, the Avengers have so far performed as far a field as Glasgow to London, and in places as diverse as Village Greens to the Wembley Conference Centre. The organisation competes during the winter months leaving the summer months to recruit, train and exhibit at local events.

COLOUR GUARD

With origins in the military tradition of providing an armed escort for a regimental colour.

They employ flags, imitation rifles, sabres and many other ’ props’ to add to the overall visual entertainment and excitement provided by the music.

Members develop skills of marching, dance and equipment handling in the presentation of a complex routine – in a series of indoor competitions known as ‘Winterguard’.

SECTIONS

The Avengers currently run two separate units based on experience and ability, please contact the organisation for more details.
