Colorguard

The Colorguard plays an essential part in every Yorktown Marching Band Performance. The guard begins training with the Marching Band in late July/early August. Members work on technique and practice choreography at after school rehearsals through early November. The Colorguard has the same performance schedule as the Marching Band.

Students receive .5 credits and a grade for their participation. Eight graders through seniors are eligible.
