The Color Guard, or "Auxilliary", combine dance, drama,
and performance - with the manipulation of flags, sabers, and rifles
- into a magical pageantry. Color Guard is now one of the most popular
activities for girls in the high school curriculum. This outstanding
performing group is an intricate part of the fall season Marching
Band program. In the winter and spring seasons, students perform
in a number of dance recitals plus official Winter Guard appearances.
The Winter Guard often travels to venues across the state and region
in pageantry theater competitions incorporating a wide range of
visual performance arts and choreography. The Winter Guard is a
seven-time WGI World Championship
finalist. They are the only Pinellas county Winter Guard to be promoted
to the WGI World Class division.
The Color Guard and Winter Guard, under the direction of Mrs.
Jeannine Ford, performs with the Marching
Band at all appearances and competitions including Bands of
America regional and national events. Visual effects are important
elements in competition scoring and high scores require a competent
and highly rehearsed Color Guard.
The Color Guard and Winter Guard are integral
components of the Leadership and Music Conservatory and are supported
and funded by the Band Booster organization.
