I know at my school, the guard and percussion practice together so the drummers can tap out the beats for the guard members to get the rhythms down for their routines. Maybe thats why.

For my band Guard is literally on it's own than percussion is on it's own. I am sure that the reason is that because you guys are independent when it comes to marching styles, I know percussion has to learn the side step marching and the guard learns there own thing.

In my eyes, its because its an entirely seperate part of the marching band. In band, you have the hornline, drumline and guard. Typically the hornline is the main chunk of the marching band, while the drumline and guard accompany the hornlines. While there are numerous horns which can cover up one or two members messing up, the drumline and guards members MUST all get it right. So maybe they just find it convienient to have these "perfection-type" rehearsals together, instead of setting up two different practice times and dates.
For our marching band, however; the guard practices extra on tuesday nights for three hours, and the drumline goes on monday for three hours........
