Welcome To Color Guard

The Difference between Fall and Winter Color Guard

Fall color guard performs outside with the Marching Band during halftime at football games and various competitions against other Marching Bands.  Winter guard teams perform inside, in a gym, on a tarp, against other winter guard teams.

Kassie Pierson

I currently work as an assistant for a Realtor Team, as well as being a full time student currently enrolled at Elmhurst University. I started my time as a color guard performer when I was in junior high by participating in the Carl Sandburg junior high night performace. I continued color guard all the way through high school and ended up being a part of the Andrew winter guard team in my senior year of high school. Once I graduated I was asked to join the staff and now I share my love for color guard with others!

Sara Janik Serratore

I attended Reavis High School and was a member of the color guard for 4 years (captain 1 year) and the winter guard for 3 years (captain 1 year).  We were the Midwest Color Guard Circuit Champions in Class A in 1994.  I also played the clarinet from 4th grade through college.  I performed with independent winter guards in 1997 and 1998.  I attended NIU and GSU and received my Bachelor’s degree.  I have been a Real Estate Appraiser (General Certified) since 1999 and have been teaching color/winter guards at various schools since 1997.
