Flags & Weapon Line
Flag
All beginners start on the flag line. This includes learning flag basics from drop spins to tosses. The flags are the basis of our shows and add color to everything we do.
Weapon Line
Weapon line consists of spinning rifles and sabres. While this may seem scary, all color guards do this with kids as young as 7 years old. The weapons are not real.
Rifle
Rifle is a piece of wood shaped like a rifle that is spun. This is the introductory piece of the weapon line.
Sabre
Sabre is a more advanced piece of weaponry. It is a metal blade with a cage at the end. It is spun with gloves to avoid injury.
