Colorguard is the fastest growing activity of the performing arts today. It combines the equipment, tools and training of out summer cologuard, takes place in gymnasiums or arenas and provides students and audiences an experience unlike anything else around.
It’s exciting, entertaining, innovative, crowd pleasing, award-winning, often brash and bold! It’s marching, spinning, twirling and swirling, complex maneuvering of bodies and equipment! It’s a touch of ballet, jazz, pop and modern dance, and the synchronized use of tall flags, rifles, short flags, explosion flags, double silks, fans, umbrellas, and balloons! It’s props, theatrical sets, scenery, gigantic dots of vinyl floor covering, and glittering costumes. It’s indoor pageantry at it’s finest!
Winterguard:
The indoor winterguard program is performed to recorded music or live music and features only visual equipment. This equipment includes flags, rifles, sabers, and various props and colorful elements. The equipment is combined with many elements of drill, body movement, and dance. The result is an emotional and visual portrayal of the music.
Winterguard programs use music chosen from all types of music including classical, alternative rock, spoken words or even silence. The winterguard activity constantly pushes visual arts to new heights of creativity.
What are the benefits to the performers?
The Leuzinger High School Colorguard is a youth organization dedicated to the development of self-esteem and self-reliance. It encourages team work, sportsmanship, civic pride and contributions of one's personal best to a group effort. These lessons are learned through a musical and marching activity in which there is a blending of the arts and athletics.
Colorguard is an activity which attempts to do much more than provide a performance opportunity for students or entertainment for an audience. Through the colorguard experience, students will learn useful life skills, leadership skills, goal setting, and conflict resolution skills among others. The curriculum includes opportunities for students to exercise their potential not only as performers, but as complete human beings.
