FAQ

What is the time commitment?

The SJSU Spartan Color guard performs at every home game in both a pregame and halftime performance in addition to other performances throughout the year? Rehearsals are Mon/Wed/Fri at CEFCU stadium.

Do I need experience?

Having previous color guard and dance experience is a plus, but not required! We are looking for members who love to perform, show school spirit, and are willing to take the initiative to learn the work!
