The Dublin/Emerald High School Irish Guard Marching Band And Color Guard
Irish Guard [Field Show]
The Irish Guard Marching Band and Color Guard, or simply Irish Guard, is the field show marching band of Dublin High School and Emerald High School. This is a district wide program overseen by the two high school music directors of Dublin, CA. It was established in 1969 as Dublin High's sole marching band. In 2023, students of Emerald High School began participating in the program.
Please visit the Irish Guard website for more details:

For EHS Students:
Irish Guard is optional for all Emerald High School students, however, It is highly recommended all band students participate in Irish Guard as this helps them improve.
DHS/EHS students receive PE credit for participation in Irish Guard after their freshman year. If a student participates in multiple marching bands or sports in one season, only one activity will count as one semester exempted. Thus, students would need to complete two different seasons of activities to fulfill their two semesters (or one year) of PE.
Parent/guardian participation is highly needed. We encourage all parents/guardians to assist us throughout the season.
