The All American Color Guard
A joint service color guard of active duty, Reserve, National Guard and veteran members, presenting the colors at events nationwide since 2017.
Every Branch In One Line
The AACG is a joint service color guard. Our members come from across the armed forces and appear in the dress uniform of the branch they serve or served in.
Details are assembled around the event. A stadium anthem, a graveside service and a parade are three different jobs, and they are not staffed the same way. We will tell you what the event calls for before you commit to anything.
There is a Leadership Element of commissioned officers overseeing standards, training and the conduct of every detail we field.
If People Will Be Standing, We Should Be There
We perform at private events and at large-scale public ones, anywhere in the country.
Pregame colors and the national anthem for football, baseball, basketball, rodeo and motorsport, from high school through professional.
Promotions, retirements, commissionings, changes of command, oath of enlistment and naturalization ceremonies.
Memorial Day and Veterans Day observances, wreath layings, dedications and services for those who served.
Fourth of July, veterans parades, city and county observances, ribbon cuttings and public dedications.
Company openings, conferences, banquets, galas, weddings and fundraisers that want the colors presented properly.
Graduations, assemblies, JROTC events, homecomings and anything where students should see it done right.

Before You Ask Us
Nationwide. We are based in Lubbock, Texas, and we routinely travel for large-scale events. Distance affects cost and lead time, so the earlier you ask the better.
It depends on the event. A standard color guard is four, and larger ceremonies often call for more. We will recommend a size when we know the venue and the sequence.
As much as you can give us. Our members have jobs and service obligations, so a detail is assembled around real schedules. Short-notice requests are worth sending anyway.
Yes. That is what the Star Spangled Performance Program is for. Ask for both in one request and we will coordinate them as a single sequence.
It varies with size, travel and what the event needs. We are a nonprofit, not a vendor, and we will be straight with you about what a detail requires. Send the request and we will come back with specifics.
Yes. The Carry The Colors Foundation is a Texas nonprofit with a 501(c)(3) application pending with the IRS.
Put The Colors At The Front Of Your Event
