What is Color Guard?
Color Guard is a sport and performing art that combines dance with the spinning of equipment such as flags, rifles, sabres, and other props. Our program currently competes at the High School A level, which is considered a beginner to intermediate division. This season, our goal is to grow within this division while expanding our vocabulary, design, and overall excellence. A major focus will be placed on building strong fundamentals through technique training, dance development, and performance quality.
We believe in an individual first program.
Here at Sonora High School Color Guard, you are more than a performer. The wellbeing of the student will always come first. The best way to create a wonderful show is to create a wonderful performer. And to create a wonderful performer we must uplift and prioritize the individual. Individuals who believe their talents can be developed (through hard work, good strategies, and input from others) have a growth mindset. Effort goes hand in hand with talent. Anything you put your mind to, you can do it!
