Band playing trumpets

ASU Sun Devil colorguard

The ASU Sun Devil Colorguard is one of the most visible aspects of the ASU Sun Devil Marching Band. This select group of performers is chosen by audition in the spring for the following academic year.

The ASU Sun Devil Colorguard presents the visual story of the band’s halftime program through flags, rifles, sabers, props and dance. As an ASU Sun Devil Colorguard member, you will experience corps style choreography and benefit from instruction from some of the field’s leaders. The colorguard competes in the WGAZ Winterguard circuit and WGI events through the ASU Winterguard program.
