Color Guard - Looking for new members!
Do you know someone who loves to perform and/or dance? Do you know someone who wants to get involved in high school, but is not sure what to join?
Please share with any 8th graders or current high schoolers that the Lincoln-Way Marching Band is in need of approximately 20 more color guard members for the 2023 season. The color guard is an integral part to the success of our shows! The artistry, color and beautiful work they do is so important to our success!
