WESTFIELD HIGH SCHOOL
COLOR GUARD
Fall Color and Winter Guard is open to Westfield
High School 9-12 grade students (both boys and girls).

Westfield High School has two competitive color
guard ensembles; Fall Color Guard which is an integral
part of the Marching Bulldog Band and Winter Guard.
 

Fall Color Guard, which begins in August and ends in
November (with preparation clinics during the summer
months), rehearses and performs with the Marching
Bulldogs during football games and competitions.  Fall
Color Guard compliments and accents the Marching
Bulldogs with its colorful flags, weapons, and
maneuvers.  Auditions are not required for Fall Guard,
however, to be a member of the Fall Guard, Band
Camp is required.  Fall Color Guard is under the
direction of Music Director, Steven Panoff.  More
information about the Marching Bulldogs, Ensembles
and Color Guard can be found on the Marching
Bulldogs web page.

Westfield's Winter Guard is an indoor color guard
which competes in the Atlantic Indoor Association
(AIA).  Winter guard season begins in November,
with competitions beginning in February and running
until the end of March/first part of April.  During
Winter Guard, members may use the same equipment
and costumes as the Fall season, however skill levels
are raised, drills are different and may be more intense
and demanding than Fall Guard.  Winter Guard
performs in a gym to recorded music and props are
frequently used to enhance and emphasize the
program.  Due to space constraints, Winter Guard is
usually smaller in size than Fall Color Guard.  All
students, including veteran Guard members, are
required to audition for a place on the Winter Guard.  
It is, however, not a requirement for students to have
been a member of the Fall Guard to audition or
participate in Winter Guard.  Winter Guard is under
the direction of Coach Eric Dowty.

WESTFIELD MARCHING BAND
PREPARES FOR FALL SHOW







Set on Manhattan’s Upper West
Side, the musical explores the
rivalry between two teenage gangs
of different ethnic and cultural
backgrounds. The story revolves
around Maria, the daughter of
Puerto Rican immigrants and Tony,
from a polish working-class family,
who meet and fall in love. The dark
theme, sophisticated music,
extended dance scenes, and focus
on social problems marked a turning
point in American musical theater.

Westfield Color Guard will be
looking for at least 20 guard
members this fall.  If you are
interested in joining Color Guard, or
just want of find out what it is all
about, join us for our clinics,
beginning in late May (dates,
locations and times to be posted).  
Rising 9th graders are especially
invited to attend.

Be  a part of something special,
learn a new sport, make lifelong
friends - be a part of Westfield
Color Guard!!!!!!!
