Who is the SFASU Color Guard?
The SFASU Color Guard is an organization of talented and dedicated students who march with the Lumberjack Marching Band. They primarily spin flags and incorporate dance into every show throughout the season.

Do I have to have prior color guard experience?
Experience spinning with other color guards and dance experience is preferred, and placement on the guard is by audition.

Will I have time for this?
Yes! While the SFASU Color Guard requires dedication for the entire fall semester, the schedule is very manageable and student-friendly. (Monday-Thursday 3:30-5:30 PM - concurrent with the LMB rehearsals)

Are there financial obligations?
There are minor costs (such as shoes, bags, etc.), but these costs usually do not exceed $100 and are comparable to the costs of being in any of the LMB sections.

What kinds of shows does SFASU perform?
SFASU marches two styles of marching: military and corps-style. Our corps shows in the past have included everything from swing music to classical selections to Latin jazz.

When are auditions?
Auditions are August 21 - 25, 2006. Anyone interested should contact the band office by sending a request for more information or emailing us at lumberjackband@sfasu.edu. We will send you more details about the audition requirements at that time.

The Color Guard is an integral part of the Lumberjack Marching Band, providing the primary visual effect of the shows. They travel and attend every event with the LMB. The band recently traveled to Austin and New Orleans.
