Plant Panther Cubs Color Guard Program, a community-based enrichment opportunity for elementary and middle school students interested in learning the art and sport of color guard.

Through this program, students will learn basic flag techniques, movement skills, teamwork, and performance fundamentals while building confidence and making new friends. Participants will spend the fall season learning a routine that they will proudly perform in front of a live audience at Plant High School's Middle School Night Football Game on September 25th.

The program is open to students in grades K-8 and is designed for beginners with no prior experience required. Our goal is to provide a fun, engaging activity that encourages creativity, teamwork, and school community involvement.
