The Floyd Central Emerald Guard would like to invite you to join the 2021-2022 Season. They will be holding a color guard Interest Meeting: Friday November 3rd – 7:00pm @ Floyd Central High School – Band Room (door 6). This is a no obligation interest meeting designed to give more information about the program to gauge interest and to see if it is a good fit for you and your child. During this meeting the parents are informed of the ins and outs of the program while the students get a hands on course in colorguard from the student leadership team. We feel this is a great way for you as a parent to learn about our inner workings as an organization, and your child will learn about a typical day as an Emerald Guard member. We will be accepting interest from grades 4th – 8th grade.
