The Color Guard, students who perform alongside the Sequim High School Band, hosts tryouts from 8:30 a.m.-noon Tuesday, Aug. 23, and 9 a.m.-noon Wednesday, Aug. 24, at the high school band room.

The award-winning SHS Color Guard performs choreographed routines combining flag work with dance. They appear with the high school band throughout the 2016-2017 school year, including a trip to Disneyland.

They also perform in parades in Seattle and Sequim, as well as the SHS Homecoming game in October and a basketball halftime show.

Students are invited to come to tryouts to learn flag basics and the tryout routine.

No previous experience is necessary. Bring a water bottle and wear comfortable clothes and good athletic shoes.

Look for the Color Guard table at Wolfpack Days on Aug. 18-19 or call Betsy Zumkeller at 559-284-6785 for more information.
