Original Guard site has a new domain...
Colorguard
dates back to ancient paegentry events and ceremonies where the appearance of
flags, banners, and props were commonplace. Today we still
see colorguard influences in ceremonies of all sorts, including military and
patriotic events. The creation of competitive games came naturally in the evolution
of colorguard and has now grown into an international effort to promote sharing
and communication between the pageantry family of guards, percussion ensembles
and marching bands.
At Cornell University, the colorguard provides entertainment during football pre-game and half-time shows as well as promoting the spirit of Big Red athletics before, during, and after games. We often accompany the football team to away games in order to support our team.
