Color guard is a vital part of the marching band field show because it brings the music to life through visual storytelling. It often can also be the difference on where the school places in field show competitions. 

With synchronized movement, vibrant flags, and dynamic use of field props, the color guard adds emotion, energy, and drama that elevate the overall performance. Their expressive choreography and visual artistry help translate musical themes into captivating imagery, making complex concepts more accessible to the audience. By enhancing the mood, reinforcing the storyline, and providing visual contrast and excitement, color guard plays a crucial role in unifying the musical and visual elements into a cohesive, memorable production.

Marching Band is offered in the Fall trimester through the Symphonic Band Ensemble I & II course. This includes musicians & Color Guard.

Rehearsals take place during the regular school day class period, weekly Tuesday Night Rehearsals  (TNR), and  one weekly practice scheduled by the instructor. Occasional Saturday rehearsals are also required.
