2011 Saydel Color Guard!
What's Expected
Performing in color guard is a big commitment! We openly admit that it is a lot of hard work and requires additional group rehearsal time above and beyond regular band rehearsals. That said, performing in color guard is equally rewarding and will provide great experiences and memories for years to come! We expect that if you are chosen to be a member of this highly regarded group that you have considered your schedule and are able to make the commitment. Conflicts inevitably happen; how and when you communicate them greatly determines the outcome.
At times, color guard is a very aerobic activity. The better shape you are in, the better control you will have over your performance once fall shows come around. Just as important is your core strength. Almost everything you will do in color guard can be done better when your core is strong. Working on your core strength and general balance is a regular part of practice.
