Color Guard/Winter Guard

Color Guard is a high energy group of dancers that use props to help in their interpretation of music through choreography. During the fall, Color Guard works in conjunction with Marching Band to provide exciting half-time shows and perform at competitions. Color Guard members make the same fee payments as Marching Band and rehearse along with Marching Band.

​

Color Guard students receive either P.E. or electives credit, has mandatory meetings during class time everyday and some after school periods, and are graded.

​

In addition to paying the Marching Band fees, Color Guard will also need to pay for additional uniforms and equipment (approximately $150 - $175). Students who elect to continue on to compete as Winter Guard will be asked to cover the cost of extra coaching, uniforms and equipment, and transportation (approximately $500).

​

During the winter and spring, Color Guard becomes Winter Guard, a stand-alone indoor competition team. Winter Guard auditions are independent of fall Color Guard auditions – though many Color Guard members return as Winter Guard members, new members may also join for the winter/spring session. Winter Guard after school practices are 3 - 4 days a week for 2-3 hours and attend 3 competitions.
