At a minimum they will need to submit a video with the Dynamic Stretching and Dance/Body Movement. Students with access to a Flag are encouraged to submit the Flag Technique part of the audition. Students that wish to be considered for weapon choreography should record the Weapon Technique part as well. If students do not have access to a flag or other equipment, that is ok. We will set Weapon lines at summer sectional rehearsal before band camp in person.
By submitting a video audition you are accepting to be enrolled in the Color Guard course (Dance Techniques I, II, III, or IV) for the entire 2020-2021 school year, understand Color Guard is a co-curricular course and will come to all rehearsals and performances which happen outside the school day, come to all summer workshops and band camp, purchase color guard gloves, shoes and other accessories, pay fair share fees ($200 + 10 family adult volunteer hours or $300 no family volunteer hours) and purchase a competition uniform (approximately $100-$120).
