Band Auxilary (Colorguard) & Winter Auxilary (Winterguard) is an expressive Performance Art Class offered at all SUSD campuses. It is here that a student will learn how to convey the musical presentation of music through the use of colorguard equipment & movement. In the Fall, the guard portrays the music and show concept of the Marching band by performing stand routines and a full field show. They will compete and perform Football games and in/out of stage band competitions. In the Winter, the guard will portray a designed show for indoor guard competition. Since this course is taken by instructor approval, students will audition each season. Members should be in good health and should disclose ANY and all illnesses/injuries to the instructor and director as they come up. Because this is a participatory class, attendance and participation are the bulk of the students' grade. Weekly performance responsibilitie4s will be up to the discretion of the instructor. Parental support and participation will increase the success of the student. Parents should stay up to date by visiting the dmhs band website weekly. For assessment, please refer to the Fall/Winter syllabus during the first week of class.
