Colorguard

General Information

All color guard members need to fill out the attached survey ASAP; summer practice days and times will be announced once all surveys are complete - CLICK HERE FOR THE SURVEY.

Please see murphyhsband.com/calendar for band camp dates including color guard camp July 6-9 and full band camp July 2-23 and 27-30.

Please note: color guard members (even new members) are NOT required to attend New Member Camp and color guard captains are NOT required to attend Leadership Camp.

Weapon Auditions

Please send Mr. White a video of your weapon audition by June 30 @ 11:59pm - email it to [email protected] or upload it to Google Drive and share it with the same email address. If you are auditioning for rifle and sabre, please send in separate videos for each one. 

Please see the videos linked below for fundamentals on each weapon; any extra skills learned independently can be demonstrated during the audition. Youtube and Tiktok are full of great resources for learning new skills, not just for weapons. I encourage everyone, not just weapons, to learn a new skill over the summer that you want to see as a part of the show this year!

Rifle
Auditions will include 25 spins on the right and left, 10 singles and 10 doubles. Anyone that was on rifle line last year I want 5 triple tosses as well. Optional: demonstrate any other skills you have learned.

Sabre
​Auditions will include 25 spins on right and left, 10 hilt singles and blade singles. 
Anyone that was on sabre line last year I want 5 double hilt and blade tosses as well. Optional: demonstrate any other skills you have learned.
