Color guard is what a lot of what people might know as 'flag twirlers', but it is much more than that in this day and age. Color guard is a sport of the arts that combines music, dance, and spinning into visual story-telling. The usual equipment includes: flag, rifle, and sabre. Other equipment may be used in addition along with props during a show depending on the theme for that specific season. 

Two main types of guard are marching band color guard and winter guard. During the summer and fall seasons, marching band season occurs where the guard participates in half time shows during football games, parades, and competitions with the band.

In the winter/spring time guards compete independently and indoors on a gym floor covered by a vinyl tarp. 

Every season, there is a different show theme making each one unique. The combination of music selection, uniform design, floor tarp, props, and synchronized movements visually brings the show’s theme to life.
