1. When you mentioned the history of the color guard I assumed you meant Color Guard--the four-man team that marches with the National Colors and the unit identification (Army, Navy, Air Force flags) flanked by guards. Color guards have been with us long before the Revolutionary War. School color guards and whatever sport that is engaged are altogether different and of no consequence to me.
2. The equipment used: flags, sabres, rifles, sometimes batons. The same dangers and risks are invovled as with ballet, gymnastics, and dance, but also the risk of being hit with a piece of equipment. If you need information about some guard competitions you should go to www.wgi.org. WGI stands for Winter Guard International. Winterguard is just like colorguard, except that it's performed indoors during the winter-time.
