So, for context I personally have winter guard experience, and at my new school we have a color guard for summer but we don't do competition things. I want to give my team the same chance I had but we dont have the money to pay for the really fancy things, my las year of winter guard the director let me preform for free because my family was struggling. I dont want to take money from the team I have now every year for a sport. Now I have been thinking about this for a while, and I found the cost for our states indoor prefomance things are around $600, I am still looking for music licensing places, and we normally just reuse our flags and uniforms. I also found that you dont need a floor for it if you dont want to and as I said we dont have a lot of funding for it so I feel like we could opt out on that. The main thing I'm worried about is getting like bus transport as well as a practice space, and getting the idea to stick with our directors. My team currently doesn't know much other than basics, and we are also not aloud to use rifles anymore because the school said they looked like guns so we have air blades. I would like to teach them more advanced things for the winter season so that we can make a good show, and I am really excited to see if this plan can come to life.

So this Monday we had our memorial day parade, we only had 5 people on color guard, because our 3 seniors graduated, and our band director, has not yet found us a new director because our last one quit at the end of the year. My band director told us, if he doesn't find one at the start of Marching band practices, we just won't have a color guard and idk what to do because I only know how to do color guard fir marching, I mean i cant march with my concert instrument, because I play the string bass, and cant project the sound like the marching instruments. I just dont know what to dooo.
