Award- Winning
Color Guard

About Color Guard

We bring the visual interpretation to the music that is played by the Wildcat Show Band.  From August through October, we are constantly learning new skills and choreography to add into the show. We learn and perform alongside the band members.  Along with performances at home football games, we compete in two local marching band competitions and perform in local parades as well.

"Color Guard" is a Fall activity. Auditions are held in the Spring (May) prior to the season and we begin rehearsals in late summer.  

We rehearse 5 days a week, 3 days on our own and 2 days with the band.  We all move among the field together to create scenes to tell the a story. We use a variety of acting, dancing, equipment skills (flags, rifles, sabres and more). We bring additional colors to portray the mood and meaning in the music.  We bring the story/music to life visually. 

Even though we are competitive, we have chosen to continue to open up and allow new students to join every year without any required experience.  We want to make this program available to every interested student regardless of skill level. We accept all students who meet our minimum criteria. Returning members learn advanced skills while new members conquer the basics, which are VERY important fundamentals of guard. We use the same equipment mentioned HERE and sometimes add in additional props for extra fun, extra challenge and/or effect.
