  • Sorry Lol In Our Guard Thats Just A 1 handed Butterfly lol ha ha ha

  • Guys, ever guard does things and calls them different things differently. The first thing that is established in guard is respect. Respect for teammates, and for other guards, you guys should really respect that she is even teaching you.

  • wow

  • umm....ppl, this IS a flourish. butterflys are when u have both hands on the flag and you follow the same motion but alternate sides left and right repeatedly.......

    sooo idk wat yall all talkin bout....

    besides, obviously we were all taught differently.....sooooo....u cn call it wat u want to call it, but we were all still taught the same basics...

  • that is NOT a flourish.

  • Ya, thats not a flourish ;) They are slightly more complicated than the one's your doing ;) But thats okay, you mustve been taught that was a flourish, so, not your mistake really :)

  • those r BUTTERFLIES!

  • @aquarose6 There's critiquing and there's criticizing. You can't get better at mastering any artistic skill without critiques. Criticism would be saying only mean, hurtful things about what someone does or how they look. Critiques are meant to be constructive and honest in order to help someone improve. I think it looks much better to not have the black tape on the poles and to have your hand cover the cap. I'm not saying that to be rude or mean, I'm just saying that because it looks nicer. :/

  • @sepifi well see now? that is a nicer way to make an opinion :). however in our marching band/color guard we werent allowed to criticize others. we were taught to be respectful, its more fun that way

  • @aquarose6 If you can't take criticism, then you shouldn't be participating in competitive activities. HOWEVER, nothing I said was insulting or hurtful, and it certainly wasn't bragging. I only posted what I was taught about colorguard which, quite frankly, I think makes everything look much nicer. Also, I'd like to point out that I didn't say ANYTHING about the girl in the video, only the tape marks on the pole and a common way of holding the flag that I personally don't think looks good.

  • @Sophiagurlh who cares. its not a crime to have things different
