You can bet there are extraordinary feats of flag waving at Citiparks' new color guard practices. The Phoenix Guard, a competitive precision drill team in Pittsburgh, is bringing this exciting program to our recreation centers. This pilot program is being conducted at Bloomfield Recreation Center, Arlington Gym and Horace Mann School. Instruction and practices began in February 2000. Our first performances are expected in the Fall of this year.
Performances can be in motion in parade or on a stage.
Performers wear uniforms and use flags, decorative rifles and banners to create visual patterns. The program and equipment is free for the children in the team. We are still looking for boys and girls ages 10-14 years who would like to learn this combination of sport, art and performance. To register call the center near you. Introduction to Computers Citiparks offers computer training for beginners at three recreation centers in a pilot program.
