Would you like to join the Marching Wildcats family even if you don't play a marching band instrument?  Help us create the visual interpretation of the music by joining the color guard.  No experience is necessary.  We will train you to spin equipment including flags, rifles (fake) and sabres (also fake).  

​

Color Guard is considered a section of the marching band.  There is not a separate registration for Guard. Please complete the Marching Band registration to get involved. When it asks for your instrument please select color guard.

​

Please visit the Marching Band Calendar for a full schedule of updated rehearsals and events.  All activities listed as marching band include the color guard.
