Color Guard

Overview

The Color Guard is an auxiliary of the Tiger Marching Band, and it's a great way to be part of the marching band without playing an instrument! The color guard members are the people who you see spinning and sometimes tossing flags, rifles, sabers or other various props while the band is playing. The color guard adds to the color & visual presentation of the marching show.

We have room for as many as 24 members every year and really want to expand this branch of the program. If you are interested, experienced or not, we encourage you to find a friend and join together to make next year's color guard a huge success!

In coming seasons, an increased amount of dance and collaboration with the Tiger Debs will be incorporated into the program in addition to the spinning of equipment. Membership is open to both males and females, and there is guaranteed scholarship money available. In addition the size of the stipend will increase each year you are a member. Please see our scholarship link for details.

There are no auditions, but there will be an organizational meeting during Spring Semester 2008 for the coming Fall 2008 Season. The Color Guard will attempt to meet several times on a voluntary basis during the Spring '08 and Summer '08 Semesters in order to develop the necessary basic technique program.

All you have to do is sign up for MUS-601 Marching Band/Symphonic Winds for Fall Semester, section A-B-or C for 2,1,or 0 credits accordingly. Be sure to check this site for information about the color guard. If you have any questions, please contact Gary Brattin at gtbrattin@fhsu.edu or call 785-628-5353 today.
