What is COLOR GUARD?
COLOR GUARD is THE most amazing, eye-popping, energetic visual representation of the marching band. Through the masterfully exciting incorporation of dance, flag, rifle, and sabre (no, not real weapons - just ceremonial), the Color Guard literally “brings to life” the music you hear. When it all comes together (the music, the dance, the colorful additions) it can tell quite a story … like a Broadway Musical.
Students do not need any type of background in dance. Our staff of incredibly qualified teachers and performers literally teach a student everything they need to know from day one. Students also don’t need to have a background in music or band … all they need is a desire to be amazing at something and a teachable attitude - we’ll do the rest!

Why should you join Color Guard?
Color Guard is a GREAT opportunity to find YOUR people. A group of friends that supports you, encourages you, inspires you, and helps you discover the best version of YOU. For years, research has shown that the number one indicator of a healthy balance between academic success and social-emotional development is a sense of belonging. In Color Guard, you KNOW you BELONG.
Color Guard meets the entire year (outdoor as part of Marching Band in the fall semester and indoor Winter Guard in the spring semester).
As former Captain Sydney Graff said, “Being a member of the Liberty Color Guard remains the single greatest choice I made in high school. I made a ton of lifelong friends who became a family. It was hard to leave that family when I graduated.”
