Colorguard is a combination of military drill, also called marching, and the use of flags, sabres or rifles. Colorguarding first began during the English reign around the same time of the Civil War. A band would accompany the soldiers to play music to keep their spirits up and to keep them in beat. Along with the band, they also had a soldier holding a flag with their colors on it.
Colorguarding can be found in some colleges, universities and high schools. Members of colorguarding teams march along with their fellow marching band members. Today the guard uses dance cheorgraphy, colors, and other props to visually appeal the eye during a marching band show. Without a colorguard many marching bands cannot compete because colorguard is a major part of their score. Usually marching bands and colorguard performs during football games during halftime. When in competition the colorguard is based on general effect and coordination of all members, the use of props such as flags, rifles, and sabres, and dance. Colorguard has been considered to be both an athletic competition and an art; members dance along while using the flags to incorporate a spectacular show. Due to its popularity, it has been considered that colorguard be included in the Olympics games .
Colorguard has often come under fire from christian groups, paticularly Fred Phelps, for being unusually open to homosexuals, especially lesbians .
