ELOP - After School Color Guard
Desert Performing Arts currently partners with seven DSUSD schools and five PSUSD schools to offer after-school Color Guard programs. No auditions or prior experience are required—just come ready to have fun and learn new skills. Participants gain confidence, make new friends, and develop communication, leadership, and teamwork abilities.
Throughout the program, students will learn foundational skills in dance, flag, and rifle, and will have opportunities to perform at multiple local performing arts showcases. Participation is designed to support students’ progression into middle and/or high school color guard.
School administrators and ELOP coordinators: if you’re interested in starting a Color Guard program at your site, please contact us through the “Contact Us” form to discuss partnership options.
