Color Guard Uniforms
What Makes a Uniform?
Color Guard is assigned practice flags, a custom uniform, and show flags that compliment the theme of the show for competition season. Beyond the assigned pieces, guard members will be responsible for purchasing a summer uniform, fall warm-ups, color guard shoes, a flag bag, guard tape, and any coordinating hair and makeup accessories.
Uniform & Flag Care
DO NOT MACHINE WASH YOUR GUARD UNIFORM!!!
It is a custom piece of performance wear, often with embellishments that require delicate care.
