About the Winter Color Guard:

As soon as the Wildcat Entertainment Corps completes their fall season the winter guard begins preparing for their competitive indoor season.  The team develop skills in performing to music, including spinning flags, rifles, and sabres.  In addition to these equipment-handling skills, members also learn techniques in advanced movement, and dance.  The BOHS Winter Color Guard are the 2005, 2007, and 2008 Orange County Champions.
