Troy Colt Marching Band

The Color Guard is a curricular ensemble (taken as a first-semester course during the school day), but members also rehearse twice a week beginning from late April continuing throughout the marching season. Members develop physical coordination, timing, spatial awareness, and team discipline while participating in a high-energy, team-oriented activity. The Guard performs at football games, local parades, and marching band competitions throughout the season and is a part of the Troy Colt Marching Band.
