Colorguard is a competitive dance theater using props along with dance as a visual expression of the music performed by either a marching band or pre-recorded. Colorguard is both an athletic competition and a form of art that mixes modern dance and ballet and uses props traditionally including rifles, flags and sabres. The James Logan Color Guard, directed by Mr. Mark Metzger, competes with the marching band from August through November, using choreography and equipment to enhance the visual effect of the marching band show. The colorguard is judged both as part of the overall visual appeal of the show as well as in its own category. In 2007 the colorguard contributed to a perfect 100 in the Auxiliary and Visual category contributing to a first place finish and final score of 97.80 at the Western Band Association Marching Band Championships. From January through April, the color guard competes in Winterguard, an indoor colorguard activity performed indoors to recorded music, usually in a gym or indoor arena. The winter guard unit performs using dance, acrobatic features, and props including flags, rifles, and sabres. Guard members toss, spin, and do much more with their equipment, which can change throughout the show. During the Winterguard season, James Logan High School has two guard units, the Scholastic Open and Scholastic World. Scholastic Open is an intermediate level of competition while the Scholastic World performs at the highest level of competition. Each colorguard member’s performance during marching Season is evaluated by Mr. Metzger to determine placement in Winter Guard. James Logan Color Guard competes in the California Color Guard Circuit (CCGC) which is sanctioned and managed by Winter Guard International (WGI). During the season, Logan will compete in a subset of the CCGC competitions and traditionally hosts one of the competitions. The season culminates in the annual WGI National Championships which is held in Dayton, Ohio. Awards: CCGC Scholastic World GOLD: 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008 |
