A group of girls (or guys) who are very talented! They spin, toss, and dance alongside of the marching band. They have to remember several tough routines, know the exact counts, and march to their exact spots on the field. People may not realize it, but a there are a lot of hot guard girls. Most people just stare at them. Oh and by the way, it is actually a sport unlike cheerleading.
Bob---"woah man did you see the color guard and that toss they just did?"
Greg---"yea and did you see that girl's ass in her unitard?"

A group of girls or guys who march with the band and provide the band's "visual" aspect. They are way more talented than cheerleaders, even though the cheerleaders get all the credit. Sometimes WRONGLY referred to as "wannabe cheerleaders" even though people on color guard look down on cheerleaders for having NO talent and for being so stupid. Color guard people toss and twirl flags, rifles, and sabres, and continually defy the laws of gravity by tossing like 10 pound rifles and 6 foot flags over their heads. It is a SPORT which requires a lot of physical endurance and it is way more artistic than cheerleading. It is also WAY harder!

This is an organization of skilled females and/or males that learn countless marching drills, twirl flags, rifles, sabers or other items in time with music from the band or to drum solo's. They spend countless days during the summer in the heat on asphalt learning drills, marching for hours on to produce a show that usually last about 10 minutes. They can throw their item of choice up to 10 feet in the air and as the item is in the air it spins in rotation to land back in the hands of the person who threw it or to another person it was thrown to. Some guard people can even spin around while said item is in the air before they catch this item. WGI- most of the people in band and guard are honor students and/or straight A students.

1. A group of usually 4 people who, at it's most basic level, guard the "colors" (American flag, other flags). They are usually featured at a military ceremony and are dressed in military uniform.
2. A section of a marching band/drum corps that adds "razzle dazzle" and showmanship to the band. They use flags, sabres, and dummy rifles, which they toss, twirl, and spin, often dropping said equipment. They usually wear a different outfit than the band. They are one of the most hardworking sections of the band.

another phrase for "free drama classes" that gives twenty highly disturbed teenage girls access to long poles, sabre's, rifle's, and the ability to kick their faces with their legs. basically, if you really want to die, go tell one of the girls that they remind you of an old cheerleading buddy. they'll go tai chi on ur ass.
Joe: Whoa... dude... did you see that gaurdie shove that flag up that guys ass? he must've cheated on her or something.
Frank: AHHH! cover your balls man... they're coming towards us with sabre's!
Joe: Oh no... my artificial leg just broke... go on without me... SAVE YOURSELF!!!!!!

The color guard yeets flags, rifles, and swords as high as they can, hitting themselves and others. We freeze our butts off after waiting for the football team to be done with the field. Performing at football games and competitions. Sometimes there is a point value associated with each instrument and whoever has the most points at the end of the season wins. We practice more then most high school sports teams and do not get enough recognition. Without color guard, the band would be very boring to watch.
