PDF version: FOSTER HIGH SCHOOL FALCON BAND
The following is an overview of what you will need to know to
become a member WHAT IS COLOR GUARD / WINTER GUARD? The Color Guard is a part of the Foster High School Marching Band
program. The purpose of the Color Guard to the Marching Band is to
visually enhance the music and add color to the drill in our
marching drill through the use of Flags, Rifles, Sabers, and other
equipment. This is done in the Fall Semester (Aug-Dec). The Winter
Guard is the same unit moving in-doors and competing as a separate
unit in the Texas Color Guard Circuit. This is done in the Spring
Semester (Jan-May). As you can see, it is an All-Year
commitment. COLOR GUARD / WINTER GUARD This clinic will contain more detailed information about the Color Guard and training in the basic flag technical skills that each person will need to try-out. The try-out procedure will be explained in full and each student will be taught a short try-out routine to perform for a group of judges. The Clinic / Try-out Schedule is: Clinic 4/10 (Tue) – 4/17 (Tue) 4-630 Foster Band Hall Make sure you wear comfortable clothing, NO Jeans, preferably
