Indoor Colorguard/Percussion

Indoor Colorguard/Percussion

This is a performance ensemble similar to Marching Band except that it takes place completely indoors. Members of this ensemble take part in a show that is produced on a special flooring material and travel to competitions in northern MD and PA. Techniques used are similar to marching band and this ensemble is used to continue training for colorguard members in between Marching Band seasons. 

Currently, the Indoor Colorguard and Percussion are ran as a County Program. Indoor Guard rehearsals are on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Indoor Percussion rehearsals are on Wednesdays and Fridays. Both groups rehearse/compete on Saturdays.
