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!

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.

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.

People call us 'Marching band Cheerleaders'. Then we use our oversized pole weapons to beat them to death and after you finish in a Flourish into a Giant.

They don't sound good without the band.
But, the band doesn't look good without them.

A SPORT where you can get any injury under the sun.

Horny high school hoes who can’t play instruments but still want to be in band.
