COLOR GUARD

ColorFest 2010 Info and Registration   

The 36-member HHS Color Guard, under the direction of Erica Pardue, performed impressively during the 2009-2010 season.

 

Winning Outstanding Color Guard  at both the Vanderbilt Marching Invitational and the Northwest Mississippi Invitational, the group is diversified in challenging weapon, flag, and dance routines.

 

Color Guard members are also involved in many activities on campus and will be featured in the upcoming indoor season.

 

Indoor Color Guard

The indoor color guard, also known as winterguard, is a subsection of the very successful Houston High marching band. Often known as the Sport of the Arts, winterguard builds skills in dance, design, and choreography while presenting a sense of pageantry to its audience. The indoor season technically begins in November after the marching season ends. Composition, however, for the indoor season actually goes on all year long.  Once practices begin in November, the girls practice over 15 hours per week rehearsing their show in preparation for the competition season that runs from January through April.  Winterguard members commit over six weekends in the spring semester for competition.
