During the time of the Civil War, army's would have pipers and drummers, who had kept the whole army in beat and kept the army's spirits up. Along with the pipers and drummers, they always sent a soldier to carry their flag or their "colors". And this is how the first guardsmen started. After time, the idea of having someone or a guardsmen carry the army's colors caught on and soon every army had one. This military color guard presented the flags at different angles such as right and left shoulder and front and back presents. As years passed color guard soon became part of the marching band. And that is how it started, note that there is no exact date of when it started.
