Today we remember Josh Betts.

Josh was a member of Etude Winter Guard during the 2025 and 2026 seasons. He was known for his kindness, genuine and hardworking spirit, and the positivity he shared with those around him. His passion that he had for the performing arts and the impact he had on his teammates, instructors, and friends will not be forgotten.

The Carolina Winter Ensemble Association extends its deepest condolences to Josh’s family, the Etude Winter Guard organization, and all who knew and loved him.

Josh will always be remembered as a valued member of our community and forever a part of the CWEA family. 💙
