Color Guard
"Flag Spinners"
Bio
Color guard is interpreting music, usually played by a marching band. Color guard is often mistaken to be an activity rather than a sport. Most of these people probably haven't run an eight minute competitive show, throwing props and running non-stop. If you are interested in trying out this sport, it keeps you in shape and you will instantly fall in love with it.
Facts/History
- It has evolved into a competitive sport from a primarily military activity
- Usually accompanied by a marching band
- Popularity heightened in the 1970's and 80's
