Shylee Kidman tossing a double Color Guard is a combination of flags, sabers, wooden rifles, and other equipment, as well as dance and other interpretive movements. The color guard season starts with parade, then football, then basketball, Christmas, and talent show, then onto winter guard. Each section of the season is different ranging from band music, to audio. Also from being out on the football field to working inside.
The color guard season includes them performing at high school football games with the band and high school basketball during the halftime shows. They usually do their own routine. This year the team is performing at lacrosse halftime shows and the spring show on April 13th. When the color guard is not performing for fall sports, they get ready for their new season: winter guard. Winter guard is just like a normal season but instead of performing at games, they prepare for the competitions within other divisions that have color guard teams. Each competing team must have 5 or more people on the team and have attended practice to learn the basic movements. The routine is called “Andy’s Bath”. Choreographed by Linnea Thomas and Hanna Nyman with the help of our captains Harley Bennett and Kapree Christensen. Right now all that is done is the floor, which looks like a bathtub full of water. They have all learned the routine and they just clean up the routine during practice to make it look better. They have practice every morning at 5:30 and Wednesday after school. For this routine, they use flags, streamers, hula hoops, and sabers that have been put into the routine. Bear River’s color guard winter competitions are coming up soon. February 19th at West Lake High School, February 26th at Lehi High School, March 12th at Lone Peak High School, March 26th Pleasant Grove High School, and April 2nd (championships) at Riverton High School.
