Color Guard

The color guard provides entertaining and impressive flair to the Corsair Band's fall halftime show with their skillful handling of flags, sabres, and rifles. They also create their own indoor show in the spring, which they perform at local competitions and exhibitions.

Band Camp

Pre-season band camp starts a week before Fall classes begin to prepare for the upcoming football season and annual halftime field show. Since most of the show is learned during band camp, attendance is required except in certain cases, so please communicate promptly. Band camp is the best time to get to know people in your section and the band to start bonding as a group.  Better yet, moving in early lets you avoid move-in day traffic and settle on campus stress-free.
