Students from Century Middle School, Kenwood Middle School (who will attend LNHS) and LNHS students are all eligible to participate in The Panther Band Color Guard. The Lakeville North Panther Band is a recreational, performance band and is non-competative.

Parade Color Guard

During the summer months, color guard students perform as a section of The Lakeville North Panther Band at local parades throughout The Twin Cities. These opportunities are fun, recreational parade performances allowing the guard to show off their skills, engage with parade-goers, have a great time enjoying the beautiful summer weather and collaborate with the band to put on an incredible show for parade spectators. The color guard also spends time during the summer learning and perfecting skills for their field show.

The Lakeville North Panther Band has performed at The Edina 4th of July Parade, Lakeville Pan o' Prog Parade, Hopkins Raspberry Days Parade, Minneapolis Aquatennial Torchlight Parade, The Minnesota State Fair Parade, The Waseca Classic Parade, and The Anoka Halloween Grande Day Parade!

Spinning, tossing and dancing to energetic music played by our fabulous band, this NEW color guard has added visual flare to the iconic Panther Band parade performances all over Minnesota!

Field Color Guard

During the fall, The Lakeville North Panther Band high steps onto the field entertaining football fans at Lakeville North High School under the Friday night lights!

The Panter Band Color Guard adds a burst of visual color to the incredible music played by the band, and wowing the crowd with tosses, spins, and dance. Our color guard season ends with the final home football game (or Football State Championships-fingers crossed!) in late fall.

The Lakeville North Panther Band is a recreational, non-competitive band.
