Friends

You will work as a team and spend a lot of time with this group of students.  Colorguard kids are very welcoming and try to help every student achieve their personal goals.  Not only in colorguard, but academically as well.

Discipline

The colorguard students will learn to work hard and manage their time wisely.  If you choose to  participate in the 1st semester team, you will receive a fine arts credit and a PE credit.

The usual cost is about $300-$400 per season.  We will make payment arrangements if needed.

Parents are expected to help feed the colorguard on competition days.  The colorguard mom will coordinate meals for the colorguard.  We appreciate all parental support.  

The money from dues and fund raisers goes to buses, competition fees, uniforms, etc.

ABSOLUTELY,  the colorguard has a strong instructional staff that will teach you everything you need to know about colorguard.

The colorguard was the 2019 NTCA Grand Champion and is one of the most successful colorguard programs in the state.

The colorguard/band was the 2019 UIL State Marching band Silver Medalist.  2021 5th place UIL Marching band Finalist

The colorguard will be provided charter buses to and from all competitions.  

All performer are expected to ride the bus to and from all competitions. 

No one will be dismissed until all props and equipment is properly put away at Highland Park High School.

Our instructional staff will teach you everything you need to know.  

Many of our current members did not have any experience performing.  Our staff is more than happy to help and our student leader are always available to give a much needed emotional boost when needed.

Well great news,  you don't have to audition to be in colorguard.  If you work hard during our practices, you will make the colorguard.

The answer is yes.  Although, you are not guaranteed to perform every part of the production.  Our staff makes an effort to make sure every student has an important part in our show.

During the summer, we have camps and summer band.  Usually we camps the first weekend in June and the last weekend in July.  August we practices with the band.

We would like you at all camps and summer band practices, but if you already have a vacation planned we will work with your schedule.  You will need to inform the staff as soon as possible after joining.
