The Pride of South Texas has always been known for its big sound and will present their 2015 show, "Selena", with the colorguard in a brand new look! Abraham Armendariz will be the instructor for the 2015 marching season of the Javelina Marching Band. He has been a member of the Javelina Colorguard from the 2009-2012 marching seasons, the assistant instructor for 2013, and the instructor for 2014. He has also marched with an open class drum corp in the summers of 2009 and 2011 as a guard member. Add him on Facebook so you can be added to the guard page and receive any additional information you may need.
The Javelina Colorguard is an extension of The Texas A&M University Kingsville Music Department! Our goal is not to develop colorguard teachers or professionals, but adults who are high-achieving individuals competent in the sport of colorguard and their field of study.
