COLORGUARD
Colorguard is an extension of our marching band program that focuses on the visual portrayal of the band. Members in the colorguard do not play instruments, but instead perform as dancers along side the band. Colorguard centralizes on dance, artistry, performance, choreography, and spinning flags and weapons. This group is included within the marching band, performing at judged competitions, football games, and parades. This group is open to all to audition/apply, although any stage of experience is welcome.
Exciting News from Butler Bands!
It’s BACK! Butler Bands is thrilled to reintroduce our Winter Guard program. This season, we will shine at CWEA events under the name South Charlotte Winter Guard, with students representing Butler, Providence, and Independence High Schools.
We couldn’t be more excited to expand opportunities, showcase amazing talent, and bring the energy of our program to the CWEA stage.
