The Color Guard are key members in the Cougar Marching Band. Members practice with the band, attend band camp at Orkney in August and perform at the Marching Band competitions. This terrific group has been instrumental in the Cougar Marching Band achieving a SUPERIOR rating during the 2009 marching season. Why is Color Guard Important to the Marching Band? The Color Guard uses movement and props such as flags, sabres, or rifles to expresses dynamic passages in the music. Color Guard is a vital part of the field show and a requirement for competition. The unit is judged on its own merits, but also contributes to the overall success of the Marching Band show. After marching season ends, Winter Guard begins. This larger, more theatrical group competes indoors and travels to competitions throughout the region. Learn more. For more information, please contact Debbie Norton |
