The Douglas County High School Guard is a performance-based group with a set number of students accepted into the ensemble each year. In the Fall, the Guard serves as the Visual Ensemble for the Marching Tiger Band, utilizing dance, weapons, and flag choreography.
Beginning in December and continuing throughout the Spring Semester, the Winter Guard Competes as a separate unit on the SAPA and WGI Circuits. All students in grades 9-12 are eligible to audition for Winter Guard, regardless of their individual role or caption in the marching band.
