Citrus High School Colorguard

The Citrus High School Band Program includes a vibrant and active colorguard program. Our program employs all aspects of modern colorguard including dance, weapons, and flag work.

During the fall semester the colorguard plays a vital role in the Marching Canes. Guard students are members of the Marching band and attend all rehearsals and performances with the band. Guard members also attend regularly scheduled guard sectionals throughout the marching season. Admittance to the fall colorguard is by audition, which takes place each spring.

The Guard program also includes a competitive Winterguard during the late fall and spring semesters. Participation in Winterguard provides students with an additional means of skill development as well as offers them further public performance opportunities. Our winterguard is a member of the Florida Federation of Colorguard Circuit, and will compete in many events throughout January, February, and March. Membership in Winterguard is open to all CHS students, including 8th grade students attending Citrus High School the next year. Participation in winterguard is highly recommended for students wishing to improve their skills and by students hoping to complete a successful audition into the fall Colorguard.

Any student attending Citrus High School is eligible to become a member of the Colorguard. We encourage any student who has ever considered guard, enjoys dance, or simply wants to be part of a first-class hard working organization, to strongly consider becoming a part of the Marching 舛anes Colorguard. Though prior enrollment in band is not necessarily a requirement for membership; students with band experience will be expected to maintain their skills on their instrument in order to contribute musically during concert season.
