  • good job! The only thing i have to say is at the beginning, make sure your left leg is straight when you do the kick, otherwise good job and keep it up!

  • More flag less dance!! That's what we clicked to see!

  • It looked good! But word of advice: Tape your bolt. It takes out the clank! ;) You could be able to do great things! Keep workin hard!

  • really good. dance is way better than the flag. clanky bolts are kind of annoying and distracting

  • just watch that you are pointing your toes, watch ur turn out, and don't sickle your feet...

  • Get that face up and put your body into your performance! Performing isn't just with your face, but involves your whole body. It would've been a lot better if you wouldn't have looked so boring.. And watch your feet during the flag work, lower body counts even when you have a flag. Great dance and flag work.

  • For a second i thought your flag had the nazi symbol omg

  • You did beautifully.

  • Oooo, I really like the underarm catch you did that formed into a spin. Real nice!

  • Very nice! :D

  • ... I'm kind of impressed with how many comments a colorguard video can get. That's awesome. I didn't know there were so many of us on youtube <3

  • Love the turn at 1:13!

  • you're an amazing dancer!

  • love love LOVE! that flag!!!(:

  • It was good but not great... Less dancing! I want to see the flag not the dance I did really like the toss as soon as you picked up the flag tho :)

  • Your good and all, but i've noticed alot of things that color guard members do now is twirling tricks. Not saying it's bad it is a lot more flashy with a flag. kInda wish there was more flag less dancing, dancing is good to set a mood but we are watching to see the flag.

  • LOVE! maybe next time try adding a 45 in there maybe do a double the right after that do a parallel then right away do 45 that would of added suspence

  • This was stunning!

  • Youre dance was reallllyy good it was beautiful. Just dont stop that energy when you grab your silk! Incorporate that beautiful dancing with your spinning. And it would be flawless :D but other than that good job !

  • AWESOME! like it a lot... and love the silk!

  • Like seriously, AMAZING! Especially the behind-the-back catch! Flawless! 

  • AMAZINGGG DANCINGGG!! your flag work id relley good to but everyone could get betterrr!! :)

  • i'm no expert, but...your dancing was pretty awesome; if your flag work matched that intensity the whole thing would be AMAZING :) (just my mini opinion, feel free to disregard :))

  • your a great dancer but the flag work was a little dull but not bad

  • This is beautiful and I'm not saying I can do better but I noticed in some places that you finished the moves to early and left a gap especially before the waterfall.

  • This was absolutely beautiful. Keep up the good work.

  • love this!!!

  • Like times a million. ;)

  • your bolts are loose -.-

    other than that good job :3

  • this was reallly good and anyone who says you did bad is either jealous or they are someone who is a professional but even then i think they would say this was great. and i am jealous i WISH i was this good!!! dont listen to what other people say about you being bad or whatever because they are sooo wrong. keep up the good work :)

  • @bbygurl22996 aww thanks

  • I think the dance is really awesome..A little more flag work would be nicer though lol..The dance would be amazing if it was more energetic but the dead lifelessness also matches the sadness of the music..so good job haha

  • I was wondering who cut your music? I am trying out for captin and have no one to cut it. If you'd be willing you'll recieve credit.

  • @RuRu2013 i actually just found some montage video here on youtube that had this song as the background music and it was was a short video so it was precut for me. i just converted it. sooo, to answer your question, no one cut it for me :/ i'm sure you can find something online though that'll cut music.

  • but it was very verry good. especially that catch at 1:20

  • i love this, but i didnt like how most of it was dance. :)

  • I agree with some of them. You're flag work is good, but if it's supposed to be "color guard routine", then why more dancing than flag? And some of the dancing was good, just be more passionate about it.

  • OMG I thought when she first picked up the flag that it had the nazi sign on it

  • I'm not beaing horrible here, just trying to give you advise. I think you're not too great of a dancer in the fact that you give it no energy, you look like you're bored when you're moving. Your flag work at the begining was shit hot but it lacked after like the first 16. Another thing is you're finishing all of your moves too early, you need to extend and controll your flag more and make everything last as long as possible :) Other than that it's not too bad!

  • can i ask you something?

    when you first picked up the flag how did you do that toss?

  • @emilylikescupcakesx3 Its a cone and a simple toss.haha

  • really good 

  • I LOVE your silk. Purple is my favorite color(and one my of school colors).

    I'm new at winter guard this year. I'm also a dancer(9 years) and I would just like to give a little advise.

    Pointed feet, energy through your fingers, turned out legs. In my guard, if we don't, they call us out and make us do it in front of the whole guard.

    Flag work was pretty. at 1:23, I thought you were gonna do a 45. It would have been nice there. Still cool though. :)

  • @JustSamantha15 thanks!

  • @JustSamantha15 ...I love, love, LOVE your comments here. =) Being constructively critical is so much nicer AND effective than being down right mean. (Like some other comments I've seen posted not only here but on others' videos as well) Ladym will be able to take what you've said and incorporate it into her work... Thank you SO MUCH for what you said... I'm excited to look up some of your videos now!! ;-)

  • yea im not gonna water things down. you are awkward as hell

  • To much dancing at the begining.. I got board. Your so good at the flag.... do more of that.

  • @swimgirl4ever haha yea i noticed that ever all the comments i got. thank you though. i wish i could do it again except this video was about 3 years ago lol.

  • i really love this :) great job!

  • omg i cant believe i found solo of this im thinking of doing my solo this year on this song too lolz

  • I would love to perform this at my school if this is ok?

  • @flowerss178 yea that's okay, as long as i somehow get credit or you change a few things or two. i'm glad you like this though :)

  • @xladym you will get credict and i plan on doing rifle or saber or a blade :P

  • @flowerss178

    ahh i love rifle.

    it's my baby <3

  • it was really good and ur really graceful :) it wasn't perfect but nothing is every perfect haha, the one thing i didn't like though is how like most of it was dance, i know dancing is a part of color guard but you could maybe added more flag work, but other than that it was really nice and i love ur flag lol

  • @SadnessandSorrowfull thank you!

  • Your dancing could use some work, but I didn't expect you to be that strong on flag! get it girl! still stuff to work on, but great job! :)

  • @XxThRowTHeFLaGxX thanks :)

  • really good :)) but when u move b deliberate other than tht it is very good :))

  • this is a awesome video i do color guard for westhill high school and im not this good whats so ever!

  • Amazing tosses!! Our high school team is soon to be in our first compition and we are finalizing the work with our double swing flags! I think your solo was great, and to the one who commented about one minute solos: Our team has 3 solos, ALL of them are UNDER a minute long. Our Preformance isnt perfect, and there are parts even you couldve done a bit better, but your great!!

  • i loved it! keep up the good work =)

  • Wow thi is awesome I just recently started color gaurd on the rifle but this is beautiful

  • I thought your dance movement in the beginning was beautiful! :) I thought you did an excellent job.

  • Comment removed

  • @IUPUIDancer thanks!

  • Comment removed

  • @Mrdukkesterr1

    umm that was the requirement, thanks.

  • @Mrdukkesterr1 Do yuo not understand that she's just performing to a song? It's clearly not for a show is it?

  • this bothers me. i dont like it at all

  • @xallisonxx mmkay. your opinion.

  • @xladym well ok good luck in college! have fun!

  • @llamalovers411 thanks!

  • @xallisonxx Let me see you do something better. This is a great solo.

  • @amandaishovering

    sorry i dont compete with people who are full of themselves. im not usually a hater but i dont like the cocky comments

  • Saw the trash people were saying-they need to shut their mouths cuz your pretty damn good.

    -from a fellow guard person (:

  • Uhm .. Yeah I loved the video , your good and all . but not that good. i was gonna post a positive comment on here until i read your comments and saw how full of yourself you are . believe me "sweetie pie " their are better color guard out there rather then you , like mine . we have gotten 4th place guard out of the 50 states in OMEA . so get an attitude check and get your facts straight hun (:

  • @loveralexis123 first off i was defending my school. i'm not saying my school is the best, heck, i definitely know we're not the best. i'm not that naive nor big headed or prideful of my school. but i do know that my school's guard/band IS NOT TRASH and we don't suck. we've won grand nationals and many competitions. my guard has 14 titles of winning state. we have a legacy. that's all i'm saying. i'm not being arrogant. so you get your facts straight.

  • @xladym i think that the performance was great! i think that it was fine i dont think it was bad at all just the only thing is watch ur angles but other than that it was amazing! what team are u on?

  • @llamalovers411 i'm having to comment from a different name because youtube is being dumb, but thanks. i was on the westfield high school guard for 4 years. i graduated just last school yr though

  • @xmonamour ok kool! i love it r u doing colorguard through college?

  • @llamalovers411 nope i wish. my dad didn't let me. he wants me to be school focused. plus the independent guards here suck. there's only 2 independent guards i wanna do and both require a commute which i can't do with no car my first year.

  • @loveralexis123 wow thats totally RUDE! Maybe you need the attitude check! conceited much?

  • @loveralexis123 umm how about you get an attitude check cause obviously if youre getting 4th place youre not better than her. so get off your high horse and leave her alone

  • I wish I could do that

  • So cool I wish I could do a triple

  • So somehow you missed the a line 6 they threw, okay good eyes good eyes.

  • @Ellie9519 oh no. i saw some high tosses. a 5 maybe a 6. i couldn't tell for one of them because there wasn't even a solid catch from every single girl who tossed. how nice.

  • I wasn't even in it in 2000? So watevs idc bout then, and definetly better than what you did when you won. Haha you can't even go every year? Wow pooooooooor, you must live in the ghetto, especially with the outfit your wearing in the video.

  • @Ellie9519 ha wow really? see in houston, you'd get shot for your white ass ignorance. i'm sorry prissy little princess. not all our daddys can buy everything. I on the other hand am not poor. I don't live in the ghetto. So quit with your naive mind. It's average middle class living. I work for my money and paid for guard all by myself. & that outfit, yea, it's not a dang uniform, it's just something for my solo. i love where i live and where i grew up.

  • Centerville ohio jazz band. Top twelve almost every year. We did elvis last uear

  • @Ellie9519

    yup just watched it. Icon right? Not impressed. My school can't afford to go to Grand Nats that often, and we've gotten a new director recently. Last time we went to Grand Nats was '03 and we won! I watched the guard most of the time in 2000 and 2009. I noticed plenty of flag ticks. Rifle work seemed fairly easy. I didn't see many tosses that were higher than a triple. Didn't impress me much.

  • idc what people say u rocked that! yah there was stuff that could be fixed but u rocked it. i wish my school could do some of that stuff. and whoever saids anything different is just doin it to get under ur skin.

  • @amazed143andapril

    thanks :D

  • @Ellie9519

    haha. centerville, indiana??

    too bad, i see no videos on ya'll..

    except one. which i'd assume means you're not too fantastic.

    but the video i did see, with the video description that says "my guard :("

    sucks horrible. it's like watching flags in a blender. everything is off. work is simple. drops on easy skills. yea. SORRY

  • Really cuz this still sucks, you got lucky, I watched your shows, and eww. And I don't know who the fuck you are but you obviously are same lame as loser.

  • @Ellie9519

    and eww? haha you need to change your sense of judgement sweety pie.

    i see you talking all your talk, but i'd like to know what school YOU come from if you think your shit is so boss and what not. i bet ya'll aren't even ranked as a top school, because i know mine is. in the state, and nation.

  • Wow one don't blame your age or your instructor for you sucking. Two what school hunney, cuz I doubt you won especially if you were captain.

  • @Ellie9519 alright dear, look it up. Westfield High School Houston, TX TCGC 2009 Scholastic AA class. I was captain along with my friend. So THANKS A LOT. SHUT YOUR MOUTH don't tell me what we won and did not. you know nothing
  • @Ellie9519

    Dam she told ur ass. just go back to the corner from whence you came (x

  • What school do you go to? That way if we are ever at the same competition I know who sucks already(:

  • @Ellie9519

    hahah woooowwww.

    first of all. this is my sophomore year, with a sucky ass coach.

    my school doesn't suck sweety. we've won grand nationals BOA.

    and my junior year, my winterguard, who i was captain of won TCGC State.

    so stop talking your mess.

  • i like your flag silk.... thats just about it.

  • where do you live ii wanna move there ii love what uu did our guard sux!!!

  • your dance is basic and repetitive, you allow yourself to make minute errors (lack of point, limp wrists, no turn out, etc.) that bring the mediocre performance down that much more.

    certain sections of your flag piece were worth noting, the toss with the catch behind the back takes some skill is one example. most of the work was beginner work, at best. i would take some time and concentrate more on your flag skills. less dance, more flag, less repetition.

  • i really like this routine :) and i noticed in previous comments someone from my guard got into a disaggreement with you and i want to apologize on their behalf. i honestly think you did a great job with this :)

  • i love your flag

  • you need more emotion in your flag work but it was good :)

  • thats was so cool! your such a good dancer and your so good at flags! that was amazing. i wish i could do that

  • Omg O: 1:23-1:25 looks EPIC.

  • Awesome flag work! i'm in colorguard too :)

  • point your toes x.x

  • That was amazing. (= Keep it up!

  • i was waiting forever for u to pick up the flag. u r a really good dancer but i was hoping for a little more flagwork. and i think for this song the work should have been more energetic and fierce during the chorus. just myy opinion. also i feel like as soon as you started spinning you lost your emotion. you seemed a bit too foccused on the work and not the body. hope im not being tooooo criticizing...

  • damm my color gaurd is barley starting and we tottaly suk at it

  • ok that was one of the coolest routines ever im in color guard....i would know

  • @allycatmae aww thanks a bunch :]

  • our show has bits and pieces of your flag routine in it

  • @ejc1999 cool. is that good? haha

  • Absolutely beautiful!! I enjoyed every second! But sometimes, I'm not sure if you're doing a soutee or an attitude. I see that this is from a while back, and I suppose you've already fixed this (:

    And smile, girly!! Present yourself and your flag (:

  • as a dancer and guardie, i was pretty much impressed. the guard work i LOVED, but i felt like some of it could have been a bit cleaner and more polished. the dance was a little weak. i think that she was VERY graceful, but she should have moved a bit more and not let her chest and back be so rigid. thats my two cents

  • watch those free hands on that double. good job! :)

  • i really liked this. the dancing was beautiful and you had some really awesome flag tricks :)

  • This is so awesome. I love flag routines that aren't all flag. Plus, I love routines that go with the music. This is wonderful :)

  • iloved it dnt lissen to what other people say. either cause they cant do it and it's just out of jealousy cause not everyone can move like that! iloved the routing with the flag!

  • you're good ! 

  • I think you're a beautiful dancer and you're wonderful with the flag (:

  • The piece is alright, but u really can't take a comment, jeez. Being good at something means being able to handle criticism well.

  • @crazygurl2221

    i can take criticism very well. the thing is..yall are critiquing me on something that is from 2 years ago!!!! i am nothing like this anymore at all. i've grown.

  • I agree with xladym cuz in guard, it's important to take advantage of the flag instead of your body. Honestly, I would have love to see more of you with the flag because your good, just forgot the flag as it was nicely put. And I'm in guard too, so yah.

  • you kinda forgot about your flag the first half of the thing but still good

  • @SerendipityFreckles uhh i did i "forget" about my flag.

    if you knew ANYTHING about colorguard, there's movement too, as in dance.

    so i didn't forget anything.

  • @xladym uhh i do know that theres movment in color guard but you have moree movement then skills and at least in my guard we foucous more on skills and strength then dancing and we alsoo dance with our flag for more then just what 30 seconds??

  • @SerendipityFreckles

    it was a solo. i got straight 1's with it.

    i knew how i was constructing my own piece.

    if you noticed. i based everything off musicality.

    i chose to use the chorus for my flag bc the tone of singing changed.

    trust me. i can spin circles around your head with my flag & rifle.

    but i do love to dance too.

  • @xladym ok..if you cant handle someone making a comment about your video then why the fuck would you put it on youtube?! i wasnt saying it wasnt good i was saying you didnt do very much with your flag and im also not saying that im better then you so chill.

  • @SerendipityFreckles well i'm sorry. but i understand criticism. trust me i do. i get it all the time & i take it very well. but when i have ppl on hear critiquing me on something i did years ago..something OLD.. it gets tedious. because i know a lot of things that were wrong with this solo. i'm still proud of it nonetheless..but yea..

  • that was really gud we dont do anythging like that here in ireland ....... n u can only do colour gaurd if u are in a marching band but i absalutly luv it ....... do ye have the colour gaurd clinics n that over there ???

  • @ally653 yea a lot of guards in general do clinics. lots of them. it's really cool. color guard is a huge thing here in texas.

  • @xladym thats class i wish they done clinics over here ...

  • do you weight your poles? it doesn't really look like it but my guard does and we weight them the same as DCI's Troopers guard. the poles have weights at both ends of the pole. the top weight is twice as heavy as the bottom one. Weighting them makes for very easy tossing... but it also makes solid stops a little more difficult but not bad... but over all, beautiful dance work. my guard focuses more on equipment because none of us grew up with dance classes or anything...

  • @colorguardgurl66

    uhh..i think every guard weighs their poles. lmao.

    it's not the fact of if they look weighted or not.

    it's the fact that if we make a weighted pole look effortless like it's not weighted :]

    we base our weights on the silks. if the silk is heavy. then of course the weight on the silk side will be heavier than the bottom side.

  • im in color guard and you did a good job, but just tip for the future if your hair gets meesed up or your clothes get scrunched don't fix them. last year when we were in dance camp our coach kept yelling at the freshman to stay set till we were told to shake. he said that it ruined the inage of the dance.

  • @wiccanlover613 ha. yes. this was 2 years ago... and this was just a dress rehearsal kinda thing. i'm very aware of the rules and what to do and not do. but thanks for the tip

  • that was great(: i'm sure you've come far since then, i'm working on getting to that point in my guard. (:

  • My Color Guard Director has been trying to get us to do all that rolling on the floor and stuff. she would just love this video lol. Where did you do this solo at??? Like, was it at try-outs or at a competition that your school went to? or what? I would really love to do a Solo at a competition

  • @his1chiquita that's great :] what school do you go to?

    this was actually at my own school. it wasn't really a competition.

    my guard director wanted all the girls to come up with their own solo.

    and he kinda made his own solo competition with only our guard where he brought in his guard director friends to judge.

  • @xladym I go to a school in Alabama (a place almost unheard of):: And i wish our guard would do something like that =P :] seems really fun

  • @his1chiquita ohh gotcha. is guard not a big thing there? it's huge in texas. but it's really funn. i hope your guard experience is amazing

  • loved when you sorta broke your knees at 0:18, that was really interesting..

  • @nobodyroseend thanks :] that's one i my favorite parts of my solo too

  • You are AMAZING. Im just getting interested in this type of thing, goin into 9th grade and on the guard team at my high school. Your dance moves really interpret what the song is saying and i greatly admire that. You are fantastic.

  • You are an excellent preformer. What you do is you surrender yourself in your preformance. Not many people posses that trait right away. Congrats, that means you're a natural :) One word of advice though: a problem with surrendering yourself in a preformance is that you're not toally aware of what certain body parts are doing. I would watch your hands during your dance sections. Most dancers keep their wrist straight, instead of going for the evil scarecrow look (for example). Hope this helps.

  • @puppygurl4eva

    thanks a bunch :] i love performing.

    although this video is about 2 years old.

    i've come a long way since then.

    i'm a much improved dancer!

  • tht was awsome

  • your not a great dancer , but your very good with the flag and tossing. Very nice choreography though (:

  • love the choreography!

  • thats the best solo i've seen so far

  • @starryday02 why thank you :D

  • wow thats good. where are you from ? i do color guard for dubby

  • @Aallyyssaa13893 i'm from westfield high school in texas

  • @xladym I think we competed against you in competition... but i can't remember. But this is amazing. Congrats on the 1 rating. I wish my best friend's solo had done that well... her partner stood there completely still and just staring at her because she forgot EVERYTHING they had written...it was awful!

  • @Country270Girl aw that's happened in a duet i wrote before

  • did you come up with this or did you have it choreographed?

  • @caseygcook i came up with this

  • ur a really cute dancer but ur toes aren't always pointed all the way. u probably saw that when u watched this but i'm just letting you know.

  • Point your toes as soon as they come of the ground. If you don't it completely ruins your line.

  • Ok worth wind isn't a high school its all ages 8 years and up so we actually r pretty good for the ages

  • That was really good. I swear the flag work was almost exactly the same as our half time show. I'd let you see my schools colorguard, but we only have 5 people in colorguard this year!
