Okay, this comment is meant for all the people bad-mouthing this young lady. You cannot tell if she is right or wrong unless you happen to be her. Her terminology and technique are different than most of yours'. It's even different than mine. I know that move as a slam toss and my release is different. But am I going to criticize her for being different? No.

Oh, and it was funny when her silk came untaped.

You all need to stop hating on this young lady. At least she is doing something to help others. Hell i dont see none of yall with your own videos teaching people. And yall say she bad mhm i see you still watching her videos.

Hey thanks for making this video, it's really helpful. (: I'm new to guard and I only have practice once a week until band camp. I'm not doing guard because I'm flute section leader but I find it really fun and I'm considering it for Senior Year. Anyways, Thanks again. (:

Honestly, every guard is different. If that's how she learned, then that's how she learned. I'm sure to someone else your way of doing things would be wrong too. Just be open minded, that skill will make you a better person as well as better at colorguard.

I thought she did well. It's a basic move that can be altered to whatever need you have in your routine. The farther down the silk you hold to toss, the higher your flag will go with less rotation. Again, I think that this toss can be created to look however the music persuades it by changing the placement of your hand and the moment of release. When I teach my girls this toss I call it a silk toss as it is so versatile. I just explain what I want where when it is incorporated into a routine.
