WHAT IS COLOR GUARD?
COLOR GUARD IS CONSIDERED THE SPORT OF THE ARTS!
The Eagle Band Color Guard is a group of student performers that performs with the marching band during their halftime shows in the Fall. Color Guard members spin flags, rifles, sabers, and dance to visually enhance the music of the marching band's show by adding color and character to the performance.
Color Guard meets for class during 7th period as well as outside of class for rehearsal.

WHAT IS WINTERGUARD?
Unlike Color Guard, Winter Guard does not perform with the band, but to a recording. The show has a theme that is reflected through the music, flag, uniform, and floor design. The show includes dance, flag, saber, and rifle work.
The Winter Guard performs at the spring show in May and is an active unit in Regional AA Class for the North Texas Color Guard Association (NTCA) Circuit. Winter Guard performances are held inside on a large gym floor.
Winter Guard auditions take place in November each year. There is only one Winter Guard at AHS.
