Color Guard

2024 Summer Camps

The color guard holds several mini camps throughout the summer to learn new material and prepare for the upcoming season. These camps run from 9:00 a.m to 5:00 p.m. at the UConn, Storrs campus. If you are unable to attend any of these camps, please contact us ASAP.

The band also holds a preseason camp the week before the fall semester begins. This gives band members an added bonus of moving in with ease before the hectic move-in day on campus.

Camp 1 (Auditions) Saturday, May 25th 9am – 5pm
Camp 2 Saturday, June 8th 9am – 5pm
Camp 3 Saturday, July 13th 9am – 5pm
Camp 4 Saturday, July 20th 9am – 5pm
Camp 5 Sunday, August 11th 9am – 5pm
Preseason Saturday August 18th - Saturday August 24th Daily Schedule TBA

Rehearsals

During the fall term, rehearsals are scheduled Tuesday and Thursday from 4:00-6:00 p.m., and Friday from 3:35-6:00 p.m. The color guard has an additional rehearsal Tuesday night from 7:00-9:00 p.m. Members of the color guard will receive 1 academic course credit for this extra rehearsal.

Winter Guard

The UConn Winter Guard (UCWG) competes in local circuits such as NESBA and Musical Arts Conference (MAC) during the winter season. Unlike the outdoor marching band season, winter guard is performed indoors, usually in a gymnasium or an indoor arena. Auditions for the Winter Guard take place in late Fall Semester.
