<![CDATA[This study aims to analyze the performance form and the movement structure of the color guard in Story of Benteng Speelwijk by Speelwijk Drum Corps. It employs a descriptive qualitative method, with data collected through direct observation of the performance, documentation study of audiovisual recordings, and in-depth interviews. The findings show that the performance form is integrated through seven main elements: the local Banten historical theme, movement, accompanying music, floor design (display), props, costumes, and make-up. The movement structure of the color guard is organized hierarchically into three main parts: (1) an opening section using the caping (traditional conical hat) as a prop, representing the daily life of the Banten community; (2) a core section that develops progressively from flag movement (song 1), through rifle movement and double flag movement (song 2), to a variety of props in song 3, namely ribbon bracelets, dance fans, flag movement, and silat movement, which portray the dynamics of conflict leading to the climax; and (3) a closing section featuring the raising of a giant flag and synchronized flag movement as a symbol of victory. The findings confirm that the color guard functions not only as a visual element but also as a medium of narrative representation that reinforces the dramatic flow of the performance.]]>
