FAQ
Your name rings a bell… but remind me... who are you again?
Totally fair! I’m a lifelong colorguard human — born into the activity, raised in it, and now dedicated to helping others thrive in it. I’ve been teaching for 25+ years and have experience as a performer, technician, designer, director, and judge. I’ve worked with groups of all levels, including medalists and finalists, and my heart is in supporting people — not just programs.
Experience across multiple organizations (Troopers Drum & Bugle Corps – Casper, WY, USA, Les Éclipses – Longueuil, QC, Canada, 3rd Legend – Sainte-Eustache, QC, Canada, Sonnor – La Prairie, QC, Canada, Hawthorne Caballeros – Hawthorne, NJ, USA, Emanon Winterguard – Hackettstown, NJ, USA)
Where are you from?
I was born and raised in Laval, Quebec, and I still live there today. It’s a suburb just outside Montreal, Canada.
How do you provide your services?
My services are provided at a distance via video calls, as well as through document review, video analysis, and ongoing support between meetings. With years of experience working remotely, I’ve developed efficient methods to guide teams through creative, technical, and administrative processes — without being in the gym, at competitions, or on site.
Who do you work with? Who can you help?
I work with anyone anyone involved in colorguard or winterguard, at any level. Whether you're just starting out or competing at the elite level, my goal is to meet you where you are and help you move forward with clarity, confidence, and strategy.
I support:
- Directors and administrators needing structure or vision
- Designers and choreographers looking for creative support
- Technicians and tech leads who want to refine their approach
- Performers (solo or group) seeking private coaching or feedback
- High-performing teams aiming for finals or medals
- Anyone who just needs someone in their corner
If you're passionate about growth and open to collaboration, I'm here to help.

Hi, my name is Cynthia Bernard
Guard has always been part of my life: I live and breathe Color Guard and Drum Corps. I’ve been fortunate to grow alongside some of the best in our activity. Coming from Canada, I’ve also learned to be resourceful, creative, and resilient in the face of limited access. These lessons shaped the way I support others in reaching their highest potential.
