I haven't really heard about color guards though. I mean people don't really classify you as a color guard or cheerleader, they just think of you as a person doing that. It's not really a big deal. Hope this helps.

I have friends who are in color guard and band, as well as cheerleading and football, and they're all my friends no matter what they do. Stereotypically, girls in cheerleading are considered the popular, pretty girls, especially in movies and shows, but I am completely against that. It's not true at all, and there is no way anyone could make a connection between social status and your activities just like that. So, my answer is this basically:
Color guard people and cheerleaders are treated the same by their friends, but maybe not by the jerks around school who stereotype all the different groups. Hope I helped! [ curliecue's advice column | Ask curliecue A Question ]

Cheerleading and Color Guard are definately similar in ways. They both dance, wear sparkling uniforms, and are generally REALLY hyper. However, the Guardies tend to be associated with the band kids, and the cheerleaders with the popular kids.
They are similar in actions, not social statusies. [ sbloemeke's advice column | Ask sbloemeke A Question ]
tasuki answered Friday June 9 2006, 4:24 pm: Depends on your school. At my school, everybody is pretty much friendly with everybody else. And if there is a group of people you'd rather avoid, that's easy to do because there are a lot of us. But I've talked to other people who say that their schools do have that type of caste system, where the cheerleaders rule and whatnot. But really, being popular isn't the point of color guard. If you want to do it, do it for yourself, because it's fun and you want to be involved. If you want people to like you, be nice and have confidence. Being popular isn't all there is to life. Some people are "popular", but they have a really awful life. Just be yourself, and be proud of that. [ tasuki's advice column | Ask tasuki A Question ]

Being in color guard is being part of the band. It's definately not being like a cheerleader. Yes, there is choreography but you just twirl flags. I'm not saying it's not complicated, because it can be. But cheerleading is alot more athletic than colorguard. And being in the colorguard, since you are part of the band, you may be considered a band geek. Depends on the reputation your band has in your school. In my school, they are well respected so being in color guard isn't something you'll be made fun of. [ xXxpinky615xXx's advice column | Ask xXxpinky615xXx A Question ]
