Ms. Edwards & Mr. Jones host a 2019 RCHS Color Guard clinic & tryout at Richland County High School on Wednesday, March 27th from 6-8 PM. No guard experience needed!

What is the Color Guard? The Color Guard is a performing section of the marching band that incorporates dance, movement, and flag work to contribute to the overall show. If you are considering joining a high school organization, would like to meet other wonderful students like yourselves, and have a ton of fun, then Color Guard is your group!
