Color Guard & Winter Guard
Marching Season
Color guard is a dynamic team of performers who use choreographed movement and routines to visually enhance and interpret the music of the marching band. Through the use of equipment such as flags, rifles, sabres, and props, combined with expressive dance and facial expressions, the guard creates an emotional and visual narrative that brings the show to life.
In marching band competitions, the color guard plays a crucial role in the band’s overall performance score. They are evaluated in various categories, including visual effects, general effect, auxiliary performance, and overall color guard execution, contributing both artistry and impact to the field production.
Winter Guard
After the fall marching band season concludes, the Color Guard transitions into a separate activity called Winter Guard. In this indoor performance art, the team presents choreographed routines to pre-recorded music, without the accompaniment of a live marching band.
At the 2025 Rocky Mountain Color Guard Association Championships the GJHS Winter Guard took 4th Place! Congratulations.......
