color guard

Parade standard carriers

A color guard is a group that carries and presents flags in parades, ceremonies, or military formations.

The colors are the flags themselves—typically national and organizational standards.

In American high schools and colleges, color guard refers to performers who spin flags, rifles, and sabers alongside marching bands, combining dance with equipment work: She's trying out for color guard this fall.
