This extracurricular activity is an auxiliary unit that performs with the "Spirit of Stonewall" at all home games, parades, and marching contests. The group spins weapons, dances, and performs flag routines to the band's music. During the winter, the guard performs alone in the Atlantic Indoor Association and in our national circuit, WGI. Both fall and winter guard are extremely competitive units that have built a great reputation because of their high performance level. As a result, the Stonewall guards have received many awards over the past few years.
Auditions for the award-winning Stonewall Jackson Color Guard begins on May 27th!
Come learn how to spin rifle, sabre, and flag! There is no experience necessary... only a positive attitude!
Auditions begin on Tuesday, May 27th from 2 - 4:30 in the bandroom. They continue Wednesday from 6pm - 8pm, Thursday from 5pm - 8pm, and Friday from 5pm - 8pm. Come tryout and bring a friend!
