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!
