What is Color Guard?


About SABRE Guard

The GCHS Guard is an extra-curricular activity that is associated with the GCHS Marching Band, and offers participation to both males and females. This activity demands physical involvement in daily marching band rehearsals, after school practices, and many performances including all home football games, parades, and marching band competitions.  Students do not need any experience to join the GCHS Guard.  All you need is dedication and passion; our trained staff and energetic students will teach you all of the skills necessary to be successful.  

For more information about joining the GCHS Guard, please see Mr. Geller in the Band Room (2950).  Also, make sure to check this page, and our Blog, frequently for the latest GCHS Guard news and information.
