University of Massachusetts Minuteman Marching Band - Colorguard

Colorguard

There is a large colorguard section known for its excellence in spinning flags, rifles, and sabres. In the 2006 season there were over 40 members of the colorguard.

The colorguard accompanies the band on the field during the performance but is not constrained to marching like the rest of the band. As in most marching bands, the UMass colorguard follows sets and often switches between different flags, rifles, and sabres during the performance depending on the music being played.
