The Colorguard program at Georgetown HS is an organization on campus that enhances and promotes performance, responsibility, teamwork, and self confidence.  Potential members must audition in late spring for the following school year.  Once accepted into the group, the length of membership is for one school year, and then the student must re-audition the following spring.

The Colorguard student has many exciting opportunities to perform at football games, pep rallies, community functions, local/state/national contests, out of state trips, middle schools, and other various venues.

 
Each Colorguard student must sign up for the DAN/CG class.  At the end of a full year the student will receive either a Fine Arts credit or a PE Waiver.  Students will also have the opportunity to sign up for the DANCE CHOREOGRAPHY class, which is an extra class that the students can take to get individual practice time, get 1-on-1 help with instructors, get individual help from other members, and get learn extra skills that the rest of the group doesn't always get a chance to learn

      Students will have a Member Fee to participate in the organization.  This fee will be announced towards the end of the school year when end of the year budgets are announced and finalized.  All fees do NOT have to be paid up front...payment plans are available.  All financial questions and concerns should be directed to Mr. Justin Smith (Director of Bands) at smithj9@georgetownisd.org 

 


 

 

The Georgetown HS Colorguard has been a part of the Georgetown HS Eagle Band for many decades.  However in the past few years, it has become a well established group not only in the Marching Colorguard world of central Texas, but also a respected and award winning Winterguard program.  The group has been promoted multiple times, won multiple trophies, in 2007 was the Texas Colorguard Circuit Scholastic AAA State Silver Medalist, and in 2008 and 2010 the Texas Colorguard Circuit Scholastic AA Bronze Medalist.

In 2017, the Colorguard returned to having two successful competing units...a competitive Varsity and JV Team.  The following year (in 2018), the Varsity team made Regional Finals at both the WGI Austin and Houston Regionals, top 10 at the TCGC State Championships, and made their FIRST EVER appearance at the WGI World Championships...making it into the Semi-Final round!!!.  In addition, the JV team finished in 2nd at the TCGC State Championships in the Novice Class, winning the Silver Medal.

The spring of 2000 marked the debut of the GHS Winterguard.  In that first year, they competed in the Novice class finishing 4th at the TCGC State Championships.  The group took a break until 2005 when they came back and found themselves promoted 3 times (in one season) to compete in the Scholastic AAA class.  The group has competed each year in TCGC contests and WGI Regionals (making finals in 4 regionals in the last 6 years).  The spring of 2007, was a high point when the group won their first medal at the State Championships.  The tradition continued in 2008 and 2010, as the guard won 2 Bronze Medal trophies at championships.  In 2012, the first year of having a JV Guard, the group won the Silver Medal in the Sch. Regional A Class.  In 2014, the team made finals in 2 WGI Regionals as well as finishing in an amazing top 12 Finals at State Championships in the Scholastic National A Class.  In 2018, the Varsity finished the WGI Finals in both Austin and Houston, made it into the top 10 at the TCGC State Finals. and made their first EVER WGI World Championships debut...making it to Semi-Finals on their first trip.  In addition, the JV team won the Silver Medal in the Novice Class at TCGC State Championships.  Past shows include:
