What shoulder should rifle rest on when marching in us color guard?

The manual of arms for color guards armed with rifles must be synchronized so that the rifles move (e.g., off of or to the shoulder) at the same time. Since the left rifleman is at left shoulder arms and the right rifleman is at right shoulder arms, moving to and from the right/left shoulder to the order, present or back the shoulder often involves different "counts" in the movement for each rifleman. To get the rifles moving together one or the other of the riflemen will have to do an occasional pause in the manual of arms so the other rifleman may catch up. When executing the rifle manual, both riflemen will wait for the senior color bearer's command of "Ready, CUT" before executing the final count of the movement.

I am a color guard instructor and I see this a lot with my students... If you are interested in joining the color guard you need to find out all the requirements from the directors. My students do not play instruments during marching season, we perform as a dance squad on the sidelines of games. Many schools will have the color guard in the stands with their horns during the games so you may still be able to play. If you are going to join make sure you practice your horn during your off season.. You don't want your lips to be out of shape when concert season roles around.
