The Walton
Band Color Guard has two seasons of performance as follows:
FALL COLOR GUARD
In the fall,
Color Guard functions as an integral part of the Marching Band. It
combines dance, flag, sabre and rifle movement to visually accent and
enhance the marching program. The Guard has rehearsals throughout the summer
to practice the skills and dances that will be needed during the show. The
Guard follows the same schedule as the full Band Program for Band Camp at
LaGrange and Band Camp at Walton. The schedule can be found on this website.
WINTER GUARD (SPORT OF THE ARTS)
Winter Guard
is a competitive performing group; featuring dance, with flag, rifle and
sabre work on a gym floor, set to music. Winter Guard participates in
competitions throughout the Southeast and therefore travels frequently.
Members participate in fundraisers to help defray the expense of uniforms
and travel. The season begins with try-outs in November and runs through
mid-April. The Walton Winter Guard has a long history of placing high
and winning many awards in the various competitions.
