White Knoll High School's Winter Guards and Indoor Drumline compete in CWEA. As CWEA's Circuit Champions primarily serve both North Carolina and South Carolina, schools have been declared state champions while not ranking first in the competition overall. This is true for the White Knoll Indoor Drumline in 2014, [10] and the White Knoll Varsity Guard in 2018 [11] who despite placing 2nd in Scholastic A Class were declared South Carolina's state champions as the state's highest placing schools.
