ASU Color Guard

This extracurricular activity is open to any student enrolled in one of our Military Science courses. This team has the honor of presenting the National Colors in a variety of events throughout the academic year. It is not often that any American has the privilege to be involved with a time-honored tradition which many of our forefathers gave their lives for. When done well, there is nothing like having older veterans walk up to thank you, shake your hand and tell you what an outstanding job you did with a tear in their eye. Some events that the color guard has served honorably are ASU Football home games, Military Balls, Battalion dining in and dining out, various parades, and many more.

PARTICIPATION: This team requires members with a sense of dedication to professionalism and to honor. Of all the extracurricular events, this one puts you in the spotlight as all eyes at any given event are upon you. See the SMI or Training NCO for more details of this time-honored team. Once on the team, you will wear the "Color Guard" tab and braid on your Class A Uniform. After 5 events, you will receive the Color Guard Ribbon for wear on your Class A Uniform as well.

TIME COMMITMENT: Most of the events are done on the weekends and some during weeknights. The time commitment to practicing is not as much as one might think and a member can usually be trained in a matter of one afternoon session.
