Color Guard
The Ben Davis Color Guard (BDCG) has been making waves in the Marching Arts community at the State and National level for more than 20 years. As 3-Time State Champions (2014, 2015, 2018), and 6-Time National Finalists (2015-2021), we have established ourselves as a prominent force on the marching field and the gym floor.
Along with our championships, the BDCG prides ourselves most on being a diverse and accepting environment where all students can grow and create art together. Our Fall Color Guard is open to 8th-12th Grade Students, and the Winter Guard Program is open to 7th-12th Graders.
