WHAT IS THE WARREN CENTRAL COLOR GUARD? What am I getting myself into?!
Color Guard is a unique blend of athleticism and performance art.

The Warren Central "Fall" Color Guard  is made up of Grade 7-12 students with 0-6 years of experience. We welcome students with no experience as well as those with many years of experience. Students in the summer & fall season color guard will be involved with the Gold Brigade marching band fall show. The members will be trained in basic flag, rifle, and dance technique, while also learning choreography for a 7-8 minute show.

High school students are enrolled in a curricular class that meets every day. This class will focus on the elements of dance, movement, choreography and us of equipment (flags, rifles, sabers). This group will have rehearsals outside of the school day Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays. Students are required to attend co-curricular rehearsals and performances. 

THE WARREN CENTRAL GOLD BRIGADE COLOR GUARD IS A 2-TIME SCHOLASTIC A CLASS STATE CHAMPION!
