Color Guard

The Color Guard is an integral part of the Boston College Marching Band that enhances the color and visual excitement of all performances. In addition to performing as part of the pre-game and halftime shows at every home football game, we also perform during pep rallies. Furthermore, throughout the season we often travel to select away and post-season games. The Marching Band is the most visible organization on BC campus and the Color Guard adds dynamic flair while cultivating an intimate group of amazing people. As a member of the Color Guard you will meet new people, travel to new places, and have the experience of a lifetime.
