Formed in 2010, the Spiritus Performing Arts Association is dedicated to teaching life skills through performance. Spiritus strives to create a positive atmosphere where young people can grow and mature into responsible young adults; succeeding both as individuals and as members of a tightly-woven group. The Spiritus Marching Arts Association fosters and supports Alberta based ensembles relating to the marching arts. Spiritus continues to explore and develop new ways to fulfill the demand for high quality programs in the Calgary Area. Dynamic Winterguard, Chinook Winter Winds, and the Dynamic All-Stars are under the guidance of the Spiritus Marching Arts Association.
