Winter Color Guard
Winter Color Guard is a great way for existing guard members to keep up the skills learned during marching season. It is also a great way for those new to guard to get a taste of what color guard is all about. Members of Winter Color Guard get to learn more directly with coaches and existing members, as well as socialize and practice with the rest of the guard during the off season. It is an opportunity for the members who are trying out for leadership to learn how to lead but not yet have the full responsibility. For all members, it’s a great chance to learn choreography early, learn new skills, and to perfect old ones. Join the Winter Color Guard on Monday nights at 6:15. Meetings will begin at the Circle Desk and move to the Auxiliary Gym or other practice areas. Anyone is welcome to join, no sign up required.
