Color Guard
The St. Ambrose University Color Guard is a place to refine your technique, learn new skills, and grow as an artist while training and performing with the Fighting Bee Band!
Our program marches flag, rifle, and sabre. The comprehensive training program and corresponding choreography weaves together elements of dance, weapons technique, and flag work.
The Fighting Bee Color Guard rehearses twice per week with an additional rehearsal on gameday at Brady Street Stadium. The guard rehearses indoors at the St. Ambrose Dome, a covered and heated practice complex.
The guard performs at all SAU home football games, local parades, exhibition performances, and special events throughout the Quad Cities area.

We are an inclusive ensemble that encourages campus-wide participation.
Auditions are not required for Colorguard unless you are part of the weapon line. Auditions occur prior to the start of full band camp week.
