According to Craig Kazda, president of Keystone Indoor Drill Association (KIDA), which is overseen by WGI (Winter Guard International), KIDA got its start as an organization in 1981. Conestoga Valley High School (CVHS) started taking part as a stationary concert percussion program in 2013, but in 2018, the group began participating in the competition that involves movement and drills similar to marching band. The school now sports both an indoor competitive percussion ensemble and an indoor competitive color guard program. The two programs are overseen by Kazda and CVHS director of bands Brandon Nase. The color guard director is Callie Wendell, who is assisted by Kurstin Christaldi. The percussion ensemble meets in the CVHS on Tuesday evenings to practice.
