The Color Guard is a part of the University of Minnesota Marching Band. We use a variety of flags, rifles, and dance in pregame and halftime performances with the band.
The Color Guard is a section of the Marching Band which is a credited class at the University; students much be registered for MUS3480. If you are not a University of Minnesota student but are from a neighboring college you can still join as an extension course by contacting the College of Continuing and Professional Studies (please contact the leadership for more information).
Some of our members joined the group with no previous experience and some members had years of color guard experience. Our goal is always to include any person who wants to be part of the group, has an interest in marching band, and is willing to learn quickly and work hard.
To join the color guard you must fill out the form on the link on the Join the Band of the marching band website. Auditions are also required and training is available to prepare students for auditions. Audition information can be found on the Audition Info page. Any questions, feel free to contact ummbcolorguard@gmail.com or the Color Guard Leadership.
