[edit] The LBHS Colorguard and Winterguard
The Lord Botetourt High School Colorguard and Winterguard is an indoor and outdoor color guard activity, derived from the outdoor summer activity that is commonly part of marching band or drum corps. Unlike colorguard, which performs outdoors on a football field (is part of a marching band), winterguard is performed indoors, usually in a gym or indoor arena. Also, there is no band involved. A winterguard team performs using dance, acrobatic features, and most of all, with various pieces of equipment. While guard equipment can vary from anything to everything, flags, rifles, and sabres are the main pieces of equipment. Guard members toss, spin, and do much more with their equipment, which can change throughout their show. [1]
