Color Guard adds the basic moves and pageantry for the marching band. Dance and flag choreography will be taught and rehearsed for presentation with the Marching Band during summer camp, and sometimes after school. All marching competitions, after-school rehearsals, and Christmas concerts are MANDATORY for grading purposes. A band fee set forth by the Band Boosters Organization will be required of all students to assist in running costs for the organization. Members will be required to purchase their outfits. Summer band camp is required for participation in the marching season. You must attend the pre-camp and audition in order to participate in the color guard.
The Franklin High School Winterguard team was first formed in 2004 by a group of 6 students that had a competitive dream to have winterguard at the high school.
As of Fall 2015, the Winterguard unit was revived under the instruction of Mr. Ray Fleenor. The team consists of approximately 18 students. They have worked hard to obtain a show performance mat and uniforms. The FHS Winterguard had their first EVER competition exhibition on January 30th, 2016 at Dorman High School (SC) in CIPA Exhibition.
