Color Guard

The Guard is an extra- curricular activity that performs with the band for marching performance events.  The Guard uses the design of their flag, uniform selection, and body movement to provide the music performance with color and interest.
Marching Band
Tonya Ayers is the Color Guard Instructor at Unity High School.  Tonya designs the flag choreography, the flag work, teaches the flag work and rehearses the Color Guard during the summer marching band week and every Tuesday through the football season.  She also selects and designs all flags for our show.
"We now have 18 members in the Color Guard and this year we will use flats to disguise the costume and flag changes in the show.  At the Mahomet Marching Band Competition last year, the Guard placed 3rd out of 12 color guards. 

Watch as the Guard adds new things to each routine every performance.  This year we have 4 separate flags sets and will change "silks" (flags) 3 times during the show.  The color and pattern of each silk are applied to reflect the mood and character of each selection.  We have also added new equipment - air blades."
