Color Guard is a team that practices the proper presentation of the American
flag for the national anthem or pledge of allegiance. The team consists of
four members who practice hard for each competition. The Color
Guard is graded upon alignment, command, and the ability to stay within the boundaries. Each member has a
different position within the Color Guard: the right rifle, the American
flag held by the Color Guard Commander,
the state flag, and the left rifle. The tradition and purpose
of the rifles is to protect the flag. Besides doing competitions the Color
Guard also performs at ceremonies, and events.
