Growing-up-guard - Growing Up Guard

I’m in Color Guard and if my dad asks me if I had fun at “flag” when I get home from marching band rehearsal one more time I’m gonna have a stroke

JV team as we’re screwing around before practice like we always have: What would you do without us?

Our Director without hesitation and with a stone cold face: Work on the varsity

I’m really regretting leaving my flag bag in the band hall, I want to practice and do tricks. I mean the weather is kinda shitty but whatever. Wish me luck on not breaking anything. I’ve decided to link the Insta with the Tumblr and make my life a little easier making content for both, so if you want to go follow the insta you’re more than welcome.

How Do Northern Bands/Guards Function!?

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

Shit I’ve heard Band say

“A triangle could be hanging from your earlobe all I care is that you sound good”

“Put those balloons BACK in my locker!!!”

“Banana Pipeline. Like from Brazil to Times Square. No it’s only slightly puréed”

“You told me to take what I want.” -Freshman

“That’s called STEALING BITCH!!” -Senior

“I love the crunch of a frozen chicken nugget.”

“When in doubt pull out!” -Director to horns

“I AM THE MESIAH!!!” -A trumpet

When your told to do 100 drop spins

“Ohh ....... crap.”

The JV: Huddled outside the gym waiting quietly for the cheer team to finish

Guardmate: Accidentally knocks over metal water bottle creating noise

Director:(instinctively) I will kill you

Me realizing I’m going to be a Vet in a few weeks

I’m terribly afraid
