Color Guard (Band)

The Pride of the Southland Band’s color guard is the group of women who present the UT flags at halftime formations and appear in pregame formations. Originally, they wore band uniforms and engaged in no spinning or maneuvers with the flags, but in the 1980s the color guard adopted new uniforms and incorporated spinning the flags into their routines.

At a three-day flag camp in July, members are taught approximately 60 sequences. Sequences are pieced together throughout the year to choreograph the shows. An additional area of competitions for color guards is the Winterguard. UT fielded a Winterguard team in 2004, which competed in regional color guard competitions.
