Kempner High School – FG133 - Color Guard III

Mar 2026 · 2nd Semester

The Color Guard is the visual unit of the band program. Students participate with the Marching Band in numerous performances in the fall semester and perform independently in Winter Guard competitions from November through April. The principles of dance and kinesthetic awareness are developed in tandem with the use of equipment, which includes flags, rifles, and sabers. Some proficiency in dance skills is preferred, although not required. Placement in this course is by audition only. Students are required to purchase some materials and the cost may vary depending on the color guard program and level of study. Color Guard students are required to participate in all Marching Band activities, as well as all after-school rehearsals and performances. During the fall semester of their freshman and sophomore years, students will be concurrently enrolled in a 0-period, pass/fail, Marching Band PE Substitution course, which will meet the graduation requirement for one credit of PE. Audition required.
