Color Guard

TWHS Color Guard is an award-winning program of creative excellence. Being involved in this rewarding activity provides teens with the benefits of hard work, time management, self-esteem, friendship, and fun.

Color Guard is a combination of flags, sabers, mock rifles, and other equipment, as well as dance and other interpretive movements. TWHS and McCullough Guard programs have worked hard to become nationally known, and our members are extremely dedicated in their commitment to excellence.

 

SUMMER & FALL

Color guard rehearses and performs with the The Woodlands High School Marching Band. This nationally known, award-winning marching band has over 300+ members.

Rehearsals begin in July, and the season continues through football season, culminating in November at the Bands of America (BOA) competitions and/ or University Interscholastic League (UIL) State Marching Contest.

WINTER GUARD

In December, the program switches focus to Winter Guard. Winter Guard concentrates on performing indoors and competing against other color guard teams. Winter guards can be found in high schools, middle schools, some universities, and some independent organizations.

TWHS Winter Guard program supports two varsity level ensembles: A Guard and World Guard. The structure of our program allows TWHS to provide varying levels of guard experience to our high school members.

Cyndi Robbins and her team create all new shows for our Winter Guard season. Our ensembles compete in two winter guard circuits similar to marching band: a local called Texas Color Guard Circuit (TCGC) and an International circuit called Winter Guard International (WGI).
