The only activity where your proffesor can legaly yell at the top of his/her lungs: "WORK THE POLE!!!!"
While marching and spinning the colorguard hears a faint voice above the marching band:
WORK THE POLE LADIES!!
WORK THE POLE LADIES!!

A section in marching bands that adds visual effect and serious awesomeness. They use flags (usually six feet tall), sabres, rifles, and ocassionally props. They are COMPLETELY SEPARATE FROM CHEERLEADING. Seriously. No connection.
Colorguard girl: *does quad*
Band member:
AHHH!!! You almost killed me!!
Colorguard girl:
...sissy...

1. A true test of physical strength and ability.
2. The only place where you can legally flip it, whip it, and strip it!

1. a semi-cult which no one outside of it understands, because they cannot handle the greatness of it
2. a group of girls, and occasionally a gay guy, who make marching band far more interesting by dancing and twirling flags, sabres, rifles, batons, and sometimes the odd prop or two

Person 1: I don't like marching band shows. They're so boring.
Person 2: No they're not! Look at the shiny flags and weapons.

The most amaxing thing ever. Working as hard as you can for 20 hours a week to become amazing. It Means giving up your Saturdays, preforming your heart out, and being with the people you love. Its means busting yours to kick thiers. Its Life. Its for those short minutes when you are on the floor and nothing esle matters. It for being so captivated, so amazed, and so dramatic. Its why we do what we do.
Did you see the colorguard?
OMG! Werent they amazing!
(they totally are the entertainment- skip the band!)

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!
