One question I always get as a band member is “Who are the people that carry the flags?” Well I’m here to say that this group is called Color guard. Color guard is a part of the band that takes care of having people wave the flags in a rhythm to create something extra for when the band is marching. But now they need as many people as they can get for this upcoming school year. Tryouts for color guard are open to any 8th grader who is willing to learn and pick up the steps fast.
Tryouts are supposed to be mid April early May but there is no exact day yet. Tryouts will be held here at the middle school in a series of 3 days. Color guard is a half semester class that is the first hour during marching season for the band. Now people might think that only girls can do this but no that’s not true. This group can have girls and boys. Mr. Haas, one of the band teachers, is encouraging people to join so the band will seem more fuller.
