Please Bring the Following to Rehearsals:

  • Appropriate rehearsal attire (athletic or dance wear)
  • Equipment (flag, rifle, and/or saber)
  • Guard gloves
  • Small, healthy snack
  • A positive attitude (colorguard involves a lot of individual correction, please be welcoming of instruction)

Rehearsal Expectations:

  • Rehearsals will almost always run the full allotted time. Please note that when expecting a ride.
  • Rehearsals are mandatory. Colorguard is a team activity where everyone is performing the entire show. No one can substitute for you and your role. Choreography and changes thereto are introduced or refined at every rehearsal. Missing rehearsals should be reserved only for personal illnesses or major life events (wedding, funerals, etc.). School work is not considered an acceptable excuse. Just like for other sport and activity at Yorktown, it is expected that students develop and maintain time management skills with respect to their studies
  • Colorguard is a sport. Please take care of yourself and your bodies. Eat healthy and exercise. Your show will demand a lot from you both physically and mentally.
  • Colorguard is fun. There will be times in when you will be asking yourself why you committed to such a difficult and challenging activity. You will understand why in February when you’re performing in a packed gymnasium in front of hundreds of screaming fans. There is no other experience in the world like the one on which you are about to embark. Relax and enjoy.
