I’m in Color Guard and if my dad asks me if I had fun at “flag” when I get home from marching band rehearsal one more time I’m gonna have a stroke
Diary of a Wimpy Guardsmen: How to get kicked out of band but still be in band
We’re on our way to a UIL competition trying to quickly do all of our make up and suddenly the radio starts blaring.
The bus that the pit crew was on had its belt break and the bus started flaming; since the 2nd guard bus had the most space we were designated to pit up the crew.
When the bus stopped it was a mad dash to get eyelashes and mascara on, absolute chaos.
Then the pit comes on and they were in the back of the bus with the flag bags and stuff, I was the only guard child completely surrounded by pit members
And they were laughing about how much hair spray and glitter was in the air. This was fabulous
And surprisingly an interesting experience, being a freshman completely surrounded by Junior and Senior Pit crew.
The Ambitious Freshmen Strike Once More
Now that marching guard is over, the majority of the freshmen today ended up getting trying to learn how to do drop spins. It definitely is a happy sight seeing people trying to teach this group of hopefuls trying their best. Is this just a common thing within guards that the moment marching band is over everyone wants to learn weapon or is that just exculusive to my school?
The JV: Huddled outside the gym waiting quietly for the cheer team to finish
Guardmate: Accidentally knocks over metal water bottle creating noise
Director:(instinctively) I will kill you
Quite Frankly, I’ve only been doing this for 4 months now and it’s become my life. I don’t know what winter guard will be like and I love the seniors so much I don’t want them to leave us. It’s way to early to be thinking about this n all but it’s sad. Especially since all of them are varsity and that I’m not sure how much the two teams interact.
I love you Bri, Payton, Jazz, and Copeland, my captains, along with the other seniors, regardless of who stays for next season. All of y’all have a place in my heart and soul.
GOOD LUCK TO ALL TEAMS COMPETING TODAY!
