The Golden Raider Marching Band of Concord High School has a new look this year - a boy in its formerly all-girl color guard. Camera: Kevin Davis Editor: Ashley Barnas
@CruzToxic - i was the same way.. graduated in 97.. played clarinet.. wasn't allowed to do guard... when i graduated i marched in reading buccaneers color guard.. been in guard ever since.. was with the corps for about 10 years.. marched independent winter guard, and now i teach a successful winter guard of my own!
@CruzToxic Depends on where you live, but there are some DCA Drum Corps that you could join now, as they don't have an age limit, so you could join a guard today :). Idk where you live, but if your near Pennsylvania, there's a corp called The Reading Buccaneers.
CruzToxic, that is exactly what happened to me to. I played trumpet my first year of marching band, but I hated it. I decided that I would try out 4 the drumline the next year and I made it on tenors. I had a lot of fun for the rest of my high school marching band career, but my real dream was 2 join the color guard. Now I'm in my first year of college and i think im going 2 try out 4 a winter guard. You never know what ur made of until u try!!
I graduated from H.S back in 1997 and I was a member of my high school marching band but played drums but the love wasn't there. I remember during practice, I would hang out mostly with the Color Guard because that is where my heart was but because I was a guy, I was not allowed to join. I learn how to spin both a rifle and flag from the girls in the guard and to this day, the skill is still stuck to me and the love is still there. I wish I was able to join some sort of guard today
I was the first and only guy on my schools color guard (until a bunch of people saw all the attention I got and joined) but it's great and actually how I met my girlfriend
my school dont let guys be ion colorguard no wander why it's so under rated :P

my school doesnt allow guys on the team. my bad director's "morals" say its a girl sport. Yet I managed to be the first male on the team :)
