CWEA members are able to attend an unlimited number of events during the competitive season, including CWEA Championships. Your membership fee entitles you to receive copies of our scoring systems, handbooks, policies & procedures and more. It also entitles you to submit rule proposals and vote in general membership meetings.
Single-Entry (Non-Member) Fee $250.00 Groups wishing to participate in events as a non-member organization may do so at the per-event rate. Non-member groups will have access to CWEA scoring systems, handbooks, policies & procedures and more. Non-member organizations are ineligible to submit rule proposals or vote in general membership meetings. Additionally, non-member organizations are ineligible to participate in CWEA Circuit Championships events.

Refund Policy

Should you need to request a refund for your membership fees, you must send your request in writing to the CWEA Treasurer ([email protected]). All refund requests are at the discretion of CWEA, and require the approval of the President. Please note, if a refund request is approved, only the membership fee portion of the transaction will be refunded. All fees (late fees, convenience fees, processing fees, etc.) are non-refundable.

All requests for refunds received prior to December 31 of the current competitive season will be issued in the same manner in which they were received. Refund requests received on or after January 1 of the current competitive season will be issued as an account credit. Account credits will expire after one year from the date of issue. Refund requests received after the first event closing date of the current competitive season will be denied.

Classification Selection

Member groups who competed in the circuit the previous season will automatically be placed in the classification in which they ended the previous season, with the exception of groups in Scholastic Novice who will automatically be placed in Scholastic Regional A for the next season. Groups will be re-classified if needed after their first show of the season (Premiere). Any subsequent promotions throughout the season will be considered as such. Non-Member Groups: Per CWEA Policy, all non-member color guard groups must compete in Scholastic 3A or above.
