Color Guard
The Black-Hawk Color Guard presents the colors at school and community events, such as athletic events that occur at BPHS; a variety of civilian-sponsored ceremonies (i.e. Veterans Day, High School graduations); board meetings for Stafford County Public Schools; and, when requested, at a myriad of other celebrations.
Membership in the BPHS NJROTC Color Guard is more than simply presenting our nation’s colors. It requires dedicated practice and preparation. Practices are comprised of discipline and routine rehearsal, and preparation includes pre-staging gear and making sure our uniforms are extra squared away. As the "face" of both BPHS and Black-Hawk Battalion, the Color Guard has a standard which must be consistently and painstakingly met - no matter the setting...no matter who is watching.
Membership has it's rewards: it's no walk in the park; but when an event has been successfully performed, much pride is felt. The cadets have earned that sense of accomplishment the company strives to achieve. Many have praised our Color Guard cadets for standing out and performing above and beyond anyone’s expectations.
