The KU Guard Camp covers all aspects of flag and rifle technique. Flag students divide into groups for Beginning, Intermediate and Advanced Flag Technique. Rifle performers have a separate class and instructor. The curriculum for the camp includes marching technique, warm-up exercises, timing exercises, fundamental flag and rifle technique, dance movement, special maneuvers, equipment and color selection, leadership techniques, and coordinating routines to music. Students should bring cassette recordings of their fall show music, if possible.
All participants furnish their own guard equipment.
