The Light Brigade is a member of the Mid-Atlantic Indoor Network (MAIN) and Winter Guard International (WGI) who sponsor and facilitate marching competitions that initiate interactions with youth of varied cultures and backgrorunds from around the United States and the rest of the world.

During the fall, the color guard season starts and marching techniques are sharpened for competition while parental participation and emphasis on education is stressed.

One of the goals of our program is to involve the youth in the community. The organization provides a disciplined regimented and a productive outlet for the youth thus cutting down on the delinquency in the community and making better citizens for the community. Through the efforts of our organization we instill respect for property, ones self and others. Equally important is our dedication to the development and interaction with their peers from around the country. The youth learn to be self reliant, to compete with desire as well as confidence and to respect cultural differences of others.

The Light Brigade is supported through various benefits given in the community as well as social affairs sponsored by the organization. Most of our financial and operating expenses have been met through the efforts of many adult volunteers, former marching members, friends, neighbors, and the youth themselves.

The Light Brigade is now in its 32nd year in existence. Some recent achievements include: 2007 WGI European Regional World Class Champions and three years as a WGI World Class Finalist.
