Color Guard

The Huskie Band Color Guard is a select group of approximately 24 members who visually interpret the Huskie Marching Band music. We love to help tell the story of the songs on the field!

We are planning to host color guard auditions live in person on Saturday, April 27, 2024, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
