The STONEMAN DOUGLAS Color Guard Program is a class elective that supports 3 performing groups throughout the year.
COLOR GUARD CLASS
(Eurythmics 1, 2, 3, 4/Dance Repertory 1, 2, 3 Honors, 4 Honors)
Students participating in the Color Guard are REQUIRED to take the class. The group meets as a class every other day. Students will receive specialized instruction on flag, rifle, and sabre, as well as dance. All members are part of the EAGLE REGIMENT MARCHING BAND and travel to all performances which include football games, parades, evaluations and competitions. After marching season, students enrolled in this course will be placed in either the Scholastic A or World Guard, based on auditions. The WORLD GUARD & A GUARD compete in the South Florida Winter Guard Association and Winter Guard International. The class final is our END of the YEAR RECITAL in May.
FALL GUARD (June - November)
The FALL GUARD performs with the marching band at all home football games as well as competes in MB competitions throughout the fall. The STONEMAN DOUGLAS FALL GUARD is the current Florida State Champions. Students who are interested in participating in this ensemble should contact our Head Guard Parent, at MSDcolorguard@Eagleregiment.com

Once Fall season is over the guard auditions for one of our two winter guards.
These performing. groups begin competing in January and go to April.
WORLD GUARD (November - April)
Once marching season is over, the color guard will audition to be apart of either A guard or World guard. The World guard preforms inside gyms all around South Florida, and then at WGI in Dayton, Ohio. Being apart of the World guard is special. You learn so many skills you will use throughout your life, you make lifelong friendships and get to have a blast while preforming. Being apart of the world guard makes you feel like a superstar, while preforming the crowd is going wild and it’s one of the best feelings ever!
