Beechwood Elementary Junior Color Guard
On several Fridays during the football and marching band season (August through October), the Beechwood Elementary Junior Color Guard will rehearse and perform with the high school band! The Junior Color Guard is open to any Beechwood Student in grades 5, 6 and 7. Our goal with this group is to get students involved with our award winning color guard program and 11-time State Champion Marching Tigers and provide them with a welcoming environment to interact socially with other students and to learn the skills of movement, dance, and color guard. Junior Color Guard culminates with the students performing alongside the Marching Tigers Color Guard at the Beechwood High School Homecoming Ceremony, usually in mid-October. There are NO FEES associated with the Junior Color Guard program!
