Members of the Color Guard are full members of the Marching Band and are entitled to the same privileges and subject to the same responsibilities as every other member of the band. Admission to the colorguard is based on audition, which take place in May. Once accepted as a member of the guard, a student is not required to re-audition each year. 

Color Guard members may be subject to additional required rehearsals to accommodate the presence of the additional staff required for effective instruction. Such rehearsals are always communicated to students well in advance to allow families plenty of time to play accordingly.
