Color Guard Auditions
Thank you for your interest in joining the 2020 EPCHS Color Guard! I have included instructional videos to help you learn some body and color guard basics, along with a little dance routine that I would like you to learn. Along with your audition video, please fill out the attached short questionnaire.
A Flag Audition video is required for all Guard members (requirements outlined below). If you’d like to be considered for rifle roles, we’ll also need a Rifle Audition video (requirements outlined below). Since rifle roles are considered an advanced skill, this section is optional (but encouraged!)
If equipment is not brought back, flags will cost $35 and Rifles $65
