My Project

The Middle School Color Guard Club is a developing idea aimed at introducing students to the fundamentals of color guard in a fun, supportive environment. This club would focus on teaching basic flag work, movement, and performance skills, while also promoting creativity, teamwork, and self-confidence. By starting at the middle school level, students would gain early exposure to color guard before transitioning into high school programs. The hope is to spark interest in the performing arts and provide students with a new, engaging way to express themselves and connect with others.
