Summing up some stale discussion below about the distinction between military color guard and the marching band auxiliary (topic of this page), I'd like to propose a title change to better align this page with what I (as a naive observer) think is a more common (and accurate) term for this sport/activity: Flag Corps. In fact, this page is already the first to come up on a Google search "define flag corps." "Auxiliary (Marching Band)" could work too, but I think that's a more jargony title that would be more difficult to find. Any thoughts? Data8504 ( talk) 07:36, 11 June 2017 (UTC)
This article was separated from the Color Guard article in accordance with the consensus reached on that article's talk pages. I've moved the appropriate talk page comments from there to here. Cacetudo 16:17, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
My belief, as a guard member, is that it may be better if we can change the name color guard to simply auxilary to avoid confusion. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.3.172.160 ( talk) 03:14, 4 April 2010 (UTC)
As an English person trying to find out what this activity is, I am no better off after reading this article. All I know is that it started a long time ago and involves flags. Suddenly in the third sentence a marching band is introduced. What marching band? The article assumes that the reader already knows what the activity is. It needs an opening sentence / paragraph defining the activity. Rachel Pearce ( talk) 21:17, 20 July 2013 (UTC)
I edited this article for my English 101 class. I edited some grammar and spelling mistakes. I also added a section on techniques for people interested in color guard. Also, I added some extra information in different sections.I am hoping to add better photos that better express color guard. This article still needs revising, but I hope that I was able to make it better. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Elaina65 ( talk • contribs) 15:34, 4 April 2019 (UTC)
