| rdfs:comment | - In military organizations, the Color Guard (or Colour Guard) refers to a detachment of soldiers assigned to the protection of regimental colors. This duty is so prestigious that the color is generally carried by a young officer (Ensign), while experienced non-commissioned officers (Colour sergeants) are assigned to the protection of the flag. These NCOs, accompanied sometimes by warrant officers (as is the case in several countries), can be ceremonially armed with either sabres or rifles to protect the color. Color guards are generally dismounted, but there are also mounted color guard formations as well.
- The color guard are the group of marchers who spin and catch flags, rifles, and sabers. Guards most often have a special uniform or costume that is distinctive from that of band, and may or may not match each other.
- In the military of the United States and other militaries, the color guard (where the word color here means flag) carries the National Color and other flags appropriate to its position in the chain of command. Typically these include a unit flag, a departmental flag (Army, Marines, Navy, Air Force, or Coast Guard), or a state flag. In addition to the flag bearers, who are positioned in the center of the color guard, there are two individuals who carry rifles.
- Color guard is less popular than other activities such as Debate Society and dissecting fetal pigs. As a result, during practices color guards are usually crammed into the smallest rooms possible so that they will take the least amount of space, as more important practice spaces are reserved for more popular groups such as the cheerleaders or the chess team. This is where the guard tries to spin their weapons and flags without hitting too many people and expensive objects. Practices are typically an exciting affair during which guard members repeat the same routine hundreds of times. During rehearsals, the guard instructor will often say to do it "one more time," which normally means to do it 10 more times. When the coach says something looks "better," the routine is still not perfect. In

As a result, during practices color guards are usually crammed into the smallest rooms possible so that they will take the least amount of space, as more important practice spaces are reserved for more popular groups such as the cheerleaders or the chess team.

Practices are typically an exciting affair during which guard members repeat the same routine hundreds of times. During rehearsals, the guard instructor will often say to do it "one more time," which normally means to do it 10 more times. When the coach says something looks "better," the routine is still not perfect. In such cases, the guard will continue to repeat the routine until it actually is perfect, or someone dies, whichever comes first. When guard members are injured during practice, they are often told to rub some ice or dirt on their wound and then to do it again. In the off-chance that a rifle or saber goes through a window or happens to impale the school's new speaker system during practice, the guard can usually just run away and leave it like it is. After all, nobody will blame the guard because barely anybody remembers that they exist. The school usually just blames it on the jocks anyway.
