this year Im gonna start my first year of winter guard and I cant wait!! I know im gonna hit myself in the face with my flag.... Oh well! I 'll laugh your really good!! Im in 7th grade
i didnt make colorguard this year :P but im trying again next year. its very upsetting. i might try for winterguard but itll be hard. im in marching band this year so i can be with my colorguard friends and learn flute lol
Well probably my first "tip" would obviously be to practice of course! I know sometimes when I'm bored in a class or we aren't doing anything I'll go through the routine in my head or using a pencil. With tossing my big thing is to just not be afraid of your flag. You'll never get the toss if you're too afraid to even try it. Sometimes you may get hit or get hurt but its bound to happen. But overall practice makes perfect =)
Another thing is: Make it big! Be confident, smile (or whatever expression your show is), and when you fall, get back up. Stick with it and soon you'll find yourself be able to toss higher, spin faster, learn harder choreography, and learn faster :) A huge part of colorguard is mental. Just perform whether you're in your backyard, on the field practicing, or performing, and be confident. Hope this helps :) Add me if you want!
my friend got a concussion from a 6 foot flag and still performed. i thought that was amazing haha, but i guess all of us colorguards have that kind of ambition when we want something.
lol dont feel bad about hitting your dog, one time i was at my friends house and my stopper came untapped and the weight flew out and almost hit my friends dog.
xD That made me laugh. Especially that little repeat at 1:23. Woww. xD
Mmmm 25 degrees sounds nice...We practice in 98+ weather, at the moment....For band camp. I live in Texas, and the humidity is insane. Its usually in the high 90s, but the heat index during the summer months is like 108. Its killer. x__x
@xGummiBearLovesYoux its honestly not that bad.... i live in texas and do both colorguard and drumline.... its much better when it 98 degrees trust me... 25 degrees sucks soooo much more.
hahaha wow im in guard 2 and iv hit my dog 2 but with the rifle and well poor dog. im an 8th grader and goin 2 9nth grade and this is gonna b my 4th year in guard and 3rd year marchin=) i even went 2 drumcore and im only 14! wow. messege me bak. anyone
i just finished my first yea in guard and im a sophmore (going to be jounior) in high school. I just became one of the captain for our future season! and i was one for winterguard. so its really exciting.
haha and my dog was pretty unphased by it. it just took him by suprise
@d0rii12347 Lol, i love how everyone in guard is always worried about how many seaons they've had in relation to their grade/age:P I'm going into my freshman year too and this wg season will give me 5:) I plan on going into wgi/dci (can't decide) when i leave high school \ (^o^) /
