The Magnolia High School Color Guard, under the direction of Veronica Easton, provides additional visual aspects to the performance of the marching band. The color guard performs choreographed dances and routines with various props like flags, non-functioning rifles, and sabers to enhance and interpret the music of the marching band show.
In the winter, Color Guard switches to Winter Guard, which focuses on guard-only indoor competitions, and performs an entirely different show than in the fall semester.
Combining art with athletics, Winter Guard is a competitive activity that brings together dance, recorded music and the manipulation of rifles, flags or sabers. Shows are themed, and performed indoors on a gym floor, often decorated with an elaborate floor cover. Winter Guard competes from January through late March/early April on the Texas Color Guard Circuit (TCGC) and Winter Guard International (WGI).
