TU Colourguard

TU Colorguard

The TU Colorguard is a student activity group at Thammasat University that trains and performs colorguard routines using a variety of equipment such as flags, rifles, air blades, and double flags. These performances are showcased on special occasions including the ChulaThammasat Traditional Football Match, the Freshy Games, internal university events, and even events organized by external institutions.

Once selected to join the TU Colorguard, members undergo rigorous training led by senior members of the group. They are taught the fundamental techniques for handling flags and learn choreographed routines to traditional Thammasat songs such as the royal composition Golden Peacock and the Thammasat Cheer Medley. In addition to university anthems, the group also choreographs performances to international and popular songs, tailoring their shows to suit different events and audiences.

My Journey with TU Colorguard

I once had the opportunity to perform colorguard back in high school. It was just a small school activity, but I loved it deeply. After it ended, I always hoped that one day Id get the chance to perform again. When I entered Thammasat University and saw the TU Colorguard perform at the freshman orientation, that desire was reignited.

At first, I was hesitant to apply because I knew being in a colorguard team required intense practice. On top of that, my faculty has a demanding academic workload, so I had to seriously weigh my options. But in the end, I decided to go for itand I was selected to become a member of the TU Colorguard.

Colorguard is a group performance, so unity and teamwork are absolutely essential. We spent all our time after classes training together, and that brought us incredibly close. We became more than just teammateswe became family.

Beyond performing, theres also the administrative side of the club. I was honored that my fellow members trusted me enough to appoint me as both the president of the club and the head of performances. Balancing both academic life and club responsibilities was exhausting, but it was also incredibly rewarding. It challenged me, pushed me to manage my time better, and helped me grow tremendously.

Being part of the TU Colorguard has shaped me into a better version of myself. What started as a simple passion became a journey of growth. I learned how to work as a team, how to adapt to social settings, and how to handle problems on the spot. It has been one of the most valuable experiences of my lifesomething truly irreplaceable.
