Rehearsals and Schedule
We rehearse every Tuesday and Thursday evening for three hours. In the fall, rehearsals are held outside on the softball field and the Marching Band joins us. In the winter, we rehearse indoors. A typical rehearsal starts with stretching and body warmups, followed by light running in a block formation. Included in rehearsal is a flag warmup consisting of dropspins, angles, and tosses. The night is concluded with learning and cleaning work and drill and final run-throughs of the show work.

When the colorguard isn't practicing during Fifth hour class we are working on judging and critiquing performances and working on community service projects.

Colorguard Staff

Steffany King, Director

Steffany King has been involved in color guard since 1983 and is currently celebrating her 20th year as the Director of the Dubuque Senior High School Colorguard. Since she started at Senior in 1991, she has built a financially self-sufficient program which has successfully competed both fall and winter seasons. She works hard to make the team experience a training program for future instructors, providing lots of opportunities to learn and practice writing and teaching color guard and dance. She also serves as drill writer and visual designer for the Dubuque Senior Marching Band. She has worked with many other programs across the state as a choreographer and advisor. She spent 6 years with the Colt Cadets Drum and Bugle Corps as guard choreographer and instructor, director and drill writer and currently serves on their Booster Board. Her guards have won numerous awards and recognition across the state and in the mid-west, including 9 state team titles and 12 state solo titles. She also enjoys spending time as a color guard adjudicator and clinician. Steffany has a degree in Art and teaches Photography, Web Design, and Color Guard (which is a full credit co-curricular class). To balance life and make everything more fun, she is married and has two girls.

Kelly has been on staff on and off since she graduated in 2004. We are happy to have her here full time! While on the team Kelly was captain and competed at state solos.
