East DFW Symphonic Band & Color Guard

Color Guard students work as a team alongside the band to interpret music with dance and equipment including flags, rifles, and other props. Performances will eventually include marching in a fall halftime show with the band.

Winter guard, which is an indoor sport opportunity, allows the guard to perform to pre-recorded music without the band. Depending on the age and number of students enrolled, we will explore participation in a local area Winter Guard Circuit.

Students will learn fundamentals for tall flag, rifle and dance. This season students will focus on winter guard.  

•  Weekly: $35/week

Cost includes a set of personal-owned practice equipment (flag, rifle), performance uniform, additional team-owned performance equipment, team entry fees into local circuit competitions, and winter indoor practice space rental from Nov-March.

*Price may be reduced/refunded if we do not compete in all the available competitions, if we can find a reduced-cost indoor practice space, or as student enrollment increases. We could fundraise this year to cover initial equipment investment and off-set personal expense if a parent leads fundraising. Coaching staff are volunteer.
