The Oregon State Color Guard continues the long-standing tradition of pageantry within collegiate marching arts. We showcase the talents of color guard performers from around the world, offering opportunities for performance and competition during both the fall and winter seasons. During the fall, the color guard performs during pre-game and halftime shows alongside the OSUMB, as well as in the stands and at on and off-campus events throughout the year. The team is made up of members of all skill levels and a variety of training backgrounds in flag, rifle, and dance. The Oregon State Color Guard is led by Staff Instructor Kristin Heckers.
