Las Palmitas Junior Guard

DPAA’s newest ensemble! We are currently gauging interest for a competitive junior winter guard team comprised of 4th-8th grade students who are wanting to spend time on the weekends advancing their skills.

Eligibility/requirements: If you attend a school that has a Desert Performing Arts Color Guard ELOP program, you must enroll in that ELOP program in addition to Las Palmitas. If your school does not have any color guard program, that is ok - you are still welcome to come join us! If you attend a school that already has a competitive color guard team, you will not be allowed to join this ensemble as we want our local schools with competitive programs to grow and flourish as well. If you have any questions about your eligibility for this ensemble, or have a special circumstance, please send an email to: admin@desertarts.org .
