FRANCIS HOWELL VIKING BANDS
COLOR GUARD AND WINTER GUARD


COLOR GUARD
​
This visual ensemble adds to the pageantry and dynamic of the marching band's on-field performance. These students earn membership through an audition process in the spring semester. They then receive special training to develop the skills they use to enhance the marching program. Summer camp for Color Guard usually starts in mid-July.
WINTER GUARD
Francis Howell High School's Winter Guard is becoming a very competitive group in the greater St. Louis area. Those in Color Guard for the marching season who want to perform in a different environment enjoy this winter activity.
Winter Guard performs a routine to recorded music. Not only is there an effort to perform well for Winter Guard, but this activity helps strengthen the Color Guard for the upcoming marching season.
