Color Guard Program

Course Description

The Colorguard is a group of female students who perform while utilizing flags, equipment, dance choreography, and character work to add the visual component to the annual marching band and winter color guard shows. Color Guard students compete in various competitions, festivals, and home football games with our Warrior Band and also independently as the Warrior Winterguard. Additionally, the Colorguard performs at some on campus concerts with the other performing arts ensembles at the school.
