What is Passion Guard?
The Passion Guard is the Color Guard and Winter Guard Competitive Teams from Pine Tree ISD. The guard is composed of students in the 7th-12th Grades. The HS guard rehearses, competes, and is a part of the Pine Tree Pride Marching Band in the Fall (1st) Semester. In the Winter (2nd) Semester, Passion separates into several Winter Guards based on audition and skill level that compete across the state of Texas, nationally, and internationally. These competitions are held in gyms and arenas set to specified music with elaborate designs.
