What is the Aurous Guard?

The Aurous Guard is a performing ensemble that learns equipment-based choreography to different pieces and styles of music. Throughout the season the team learns how to spin and toss different pieces of equipment including flags, rifles, and sabers. The guard uses these spinning techniques in various ways to build a conceptualized routine with an aesthetically pleasing and musical design.

With these routines the Aurous Guard travels and competes against other guard programs in various competition circuits including but not limited to; UIL, US Bands, and TCGC. Along with competitive performances, the Aurous Guard also partakes in community volunteer work and various local events such as parades, school rallies, and more.
