Hi! Your blog is super cute!!! Just wondering, how big is your Band? Like class wise?
I’m a part of a large 6A band, approximately 300 ish people ,plus guard and band dance. It was a big scare for me transferring since I came from a small school with only about 500 people.
This picture is from the closing hit of our show for a visualization
I freaking love this band, but damn, it must be hard to organize
Trying to join DCI is the modern day equivalent of running off to join the circus
Here’s a tip, from an idiot freshman.
Don’t
Over
Do
The
Toss
Even
If
You
Can
Lights are expensive
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.
I wanna be the very best Like no one ever was To catch them is my real test To dance well is my cause I will travel across the land Spinning far and wide Try a new toss to understand The technique that’s inside Color Guard! Gotta catch ‘em all
It’s you and me I know it’s my destiny Color Guard! Oh, they’re my best friends In our class we must ascend Color Guard! Gotta catch ‘em all Our work’s all new Our faces will pull us through You teach me, and I’ll teach you Color Guard! Gotta catch 'em all, gotta catch 'em all
Just guard things
Having to sneeze under a cross-toss
I want to give a shoutout to anyone up in a northern band for having to deal with this weather all season. It’s finally fallish down here and we’re freezing alive, and anyone who’s dealt with bitchy weather is an impressive person, I couldn’t comprehend the difficulty of having to practice in snow or sleet, and if you have, then, your a fabulous performer and deserve more fine arts funding
Me realizing I’m going to be a Vet in a few weeks
I’m terribly afraid
What if you live on the Great Plains? Then what?
The worst part of winter guard is not being able to practice outside
Is it normal to get super protective of your gear To the point where you will fight if you so much as see someone looking at your flags wrong?
A shattered practice door
