One of many groups at school. Basically they are there during field season to make the band look prettier during performances on a football field. Then, after field season they go off and do their own thing called "winterguard" which is basically dancing on a colorful mat with equipment. Spins mostly flags sabres(pronounced sabers)and rifles. will tend to use other props, based on the theme of the show.
Performances: football game halftime, competitions, and somtimes school and community performances
Competitions: Field shows (With band)and
Winterguard shows

Popular with: Cheer (especially if one cheerleader is a former colorguard member and your colorguard group let them borrow your sound equipment)and football players are the more common ones, but guard members are also popular with other schoolmates and occasionally with football coaches.


It is a great place to have fun and make friends.
Contrary to what everyone thinks, not all male members of a guard are homosexual. In fact there are all male guards (more of the guards independent of high school).
IT IS NOT A GIRL THING!
This year, my school's winterguard theme is Mulan.

Girl 1:
OMG Sarah, you just have to see my colorguard show
Girl 2: Whats the theme this year?
Girl 1: We're doing Sweeny Todd
Girl 2: That's awesome!
Girl 1: I Know, huh.

A SPORT where you can get any injury under the sun.
I was doing a toss once at Colorguard and it hit me and gave me a black eye. It was swollen for weeks. (True story)

A colorguard is the four person team that posts and retrieves the American flag (definition applies to other countries, but I'm American so...). A colorguard is made up of a senior rifle, a senior flag (the colorguard commander), a junior flag, and a junior rifle. Do not be fooled by the failures that are the previous definitions of colorguard. We are not some gay extension of a marching band staffed with only girls and homosexual guys, we are an elite group of highly trained men and women. We do not spin around rifles and flags. Yes, colorguard is an extremely time consuming activity, but it is well worth it. Through colorguard I have made friends that I will have untill the day I die. True colorguards are used by the U.S. Army, The United States Marine Corps, The U.S. Navy, The United States Air Force, The Coast Guard, and the Civil Air Patrol. The boy scouts have colorguards, but they have little training and lack the proper training mindset.
Colorguard is more than flags and rifles. Colorguard is more than what people's stereotypical minds understand. Colorguard is a unique experience that teaches discipline and respect.

There are exactly 3 types of people in colorguard:

1) The sluts that want to wear the usually skintight outfits.

2) The fat sluts that think they look good in the skintight outfits.

3) Gay guys.
Spectator 1: "Whoa, why is there a team of whales on the football field?"

Spectator 2: "Oh, that's just the colorguard"

Spectator 1: "Oh, holla"

1. If you're military... Respect.
2. If you're at the collegiate level, props, cuz that some hard shit, and you also might be fine
3. If you're high school you most likely not fine, and think color guard is hard shit but i've seen some overweight, out of shape, uncoordinated girls get that shit down and thats not saying much.
1. Oh shit! colorguard lets show our respect
2. Oh shit! colorguard that one girl is actually fine.
3. Oh shit! colorguard ......halftime over yet?
and most likely if u thumb this down you probably one of the grip of colorguard girls who put up one of the posts sayin this is like the hardest shit in the world.

Cheerleading for the girls who weren't hot enough to be cheerleaders.
Sure cheerleaders are self-centered cunts, but they're atleast hot....the colorguard girls are the same...just not as hot...sometimes not even hot at all.

Not dance. Not cheer. Not gymnastics. Cologuard incorporates techniques and moves from these, but only the most basic of them. Not dancers. Not cheerleaders. Not gymnasts. Unless of course there is prior training you are none of these. These sports require an insane amount of muscle, coordination(which props to you, you guys do have to focus incredibly hard and have crazy coordination), musicality, technique, discipline, training, flexibility, and TIMING TIMING TIMING, someone guard is almost always off, and please point your toes and straighten your legs. You guys do a lot of these, but not in the same way or with the same mastery and professionalism. High school colorguard is cool and totally a sport, but you are NOT DANCERS, GYMNASTS, OR CHEERLEADERS!!!
Cg kid: does a sodecha with bent legs and flexed feet* “Colourgaurd is way harder than dance”
Cg kid: does a cartwheel with absolutely no form* “Cheerleaders are so stupid and they can’t even do stunts”
Cg kid: does a backbend and complains all week* “colourgaurd is way harder than gymnastics. We do acrobatics all the time”
Dancer: shakes head* “those are supposed to be jazz runs?”
Cheerleader: “I’m the stupid one? At least I can count”
Gymnast: “That was good execution???”
I guess that’s colorguard
