Color Guard
The KHS Color Guard is a part of the marching band. The responsibility of Color Guard members is to enhance the visual aspect of the marching band show through the use of flags and other equipment. The Color Guard traditionally consists of 20-30 members who are chosen by audition in the spring.
The outfits the Color Guard wear are considered costumes rather than uniforms. They are chosen to match the mood or theme of the overall show and sometimes will not match the band uniforms. The purpose of this is to add even more color to the show.
The members of the Color Guard are required to register for marching band. Their rehearsal responsibilities include Color Guard camp, which meets the week prior to band camp; band camp, which usually meets the first or second week of August; early morning rehearsal and period 1A during the school day for the first term. There may also be additional sectional practices called which the members are expected to attend.
The Color Guard will perform with the marching band at all home football games, all field competitions, and parades and will sometimes perform by themselves at a pep rally. These performances are all required as part of their grade. In addition to these performances, Color Guard members will be graded on rehearsal attendance and periodic performance exams.
