Color guard focuses on parades with more complicated moves
Coordinating running, dancing, and throwing rifles at the same time— the fall color guard team has been focusing on parades this year instead of field shows.
For the first time, band teacher John Fey hired choreographers to coach the Color Guard team an advanced parade routine during band camp. The new routine incorporated more complicated tosses and a new rifle line.
"It’s a lot more intense [this year]," sophomore Nona Penner said. "The new choreographers pushed us to be more daring with tosses."
Those who chose to continue after the fall guard season ends will begin their Winter Guard season with the hopes of attaining the level of the Winter Guard International competitions.
