Color guard dates back to the Civil War era. It was used primarily in a military setting but has since evolved to be used in schools and churches to enhance performative presentations. Color guard is not just about the flags; there are other instruments used with flags to showcase the same motions and to enhance the visual experience. Rifles Color guard within the military was used for the organization of the platoon and to keep formation. This was a very prestigious honor that was given to young officers. The rifles within color guard are symbols of respect to the military. In the military, the color guard holding rifles were there to protect the flag. At Star Line Baton, we offer various Elite rifles from different sizes to accessories that are sure to fit your rifle needs. Batons Batons are an important part of color guard performances. Outside of color guard, baton twirling is used in marching bands in various stages of school. In marching bands, the baton twirlers are stationed in front of the band. These performers dance and use the batons to excite the crowd and to add a performative aspect to the band. Starline Baton offers many different types of batons. For example we offer the Kamaleon baton in multiple colors, our Star batons come in different thickness and lengths. Flags Flags in color guard in the military are used to display the national colors and the colors of other countries for certain events. This is a prestigious role because it is a representation of respect and honor to the countries that the color guard carries. Within the performative color guard, outside of the military, flags can be used in worship. Many praise dancers will use flags to emphasize their movements and to add a visual aspect to their routines. We offer varying ribbons, silk flags, and flag shafts.
