Color Guard

The Color Guard is an auxiliary component of the Tiger Marching Band, and it's a great way to be part of the marching band without playing an instrument! The FHSU Color Guard has traditionally focused on flags, however, as we grow, we will look at incorporating rifles, sabers or other props.

There has been increased interest in the Guard for the 2009 season and we are looking forward to seeing how this enthusiasm impacts the band in the fall. Like every other part of the Marching Band we have students who join the Guard with several years of experience and those who are experiencing it for the first time. There are no auditions! All you need to be successful is a great attitude, a willingness to learn, and a little hard work.

Membership is open to both males and females, and first-year Color Guard members start out receiving a $350 stipend (audition free!). The stipend increases each year you successively complete participation in the Marching Band.

Color Guard members should enroll in MUS-601 Marching Band/Symphonic Winds for Fall Semester. Choose section A (1 credit), section B (2 credits), or C (0 credits). If you have any questions, please contact Lane Weaver at lwweaver@fhsu.edu or call 785-628-5353.
