WHAT WE DO, KPOOCG

What is Color Guard?

Color Guard is a fine arts performance activity and a school spirit team that incorporates dancing, performing, and spinning flags, rifles, and sabers.

As part of the Kickapoo High School Marching Band, our Color Guard creates stunning visual effects through movement and equipment choreography. During 1st semester, we are a part of the marching band and attend all home football games, as well as, marching band contests in September/October.

We also perform at assemblies, provide spirit at games, and provide entertainment at community events.

Why Join Kickapoo Color Guard?

KPOOCG is DANCE. KPOOCG is FUN. KPOOCG is FAMILY. Guard is the SPORT OF THE ARTS.

Joining Kickapoo Color Guard is a great way to make new friends, collect incredible high school memories, and travel and compete doing what you will love --performing!

No Experience Necessary

We will teach you everything you need to know to compete and perform on a NATIONAL LEVEL! Backgrounds in dance, cheer, theater or any other performing group are always helpful, but not required in any way!

When do we rehearse?

Marching Band is an academic course during 1st semester. We rehearse as a part of the marching band during 4th block as a class.

We also attend summer band camp and rehearse with the marching band one evening a week. We will have one CG sectional a week to prep for upcoming performances or perfect choreography for performances.

What is Winter Guard?

Following marching band season, we transition into Winter Guard. We compete and perform to pre-recorded music and compete throughout February - April. Auditions for our Varsity WG team are held in November. Costumes and flags are styled to our production. We compete locally, regionally and at the national level.
