WINTER GUARD

During the fall, the color guard must participate in our marching band in order to enroll. The first semester is dedicated to building basic skills through our fall marching band show. During the second semester, the guard will begin to work on their winter guard show, which will compete in the Spring semester. The color guard is also expected to be at every marching band event, rehearsal, and meeting. Anyone interested in participating must first speak to color guard director Allison Wyant or band director Mr. Ye.

Rules & Expectations
