Our first parade was the June Dairy Days parade in Viroqua, WI in the summer of l965. By that time, the Guard had grown to 22 members, and it was a very anxious group of young ladies standing on the starting line.

When it was our turn to move, move they did! It was their performance during that first parade that set the standard that was to be followed for the next several years.

And, so it began. For 34 years, the Hilltoppers Color Guard served as "Richland Center's Teenage Ambassadors," serving with honor and distinction throughout the upper Midwest and to more distant places in the U.S.



Two of our "crowd pleasing" lines brought thunderous applause in parades both near and far. We are very proud of our flags and rifles.

What would a marching unit be without a percussion section? Our drummers provided a good, solid marching cadence and the jazzy "beat" for the routines performed by the flags and rifles.
