Best Action Shot Ever!

Salvation is Created <(

They should make a show called “so you think you can guard” and it has a bunch of people who think color guard is easy and on the show there’s several people who are actual guard members and they show them just how “easy” color guard is. Kinda like a guard camp for non-guard people.

Gun Control

Verb. The art of catching your rifle before it hits the band kid who just walked into your space.

Tossing 6s with the squad

little guard things to be thankful for

- clean gloves - finally breaking a bad habit - the feeling of dancing during a ballad - the sound of catching - days your coach let’s you stretch longer than usual - finding out the show theme - freshly taped equipment - the first “is the guard ready?” of winter - getting close to the people you have dots next to - friends that tell you you have lipstick on your teeth - new flag silks - those silly verbals we make - singing along to that across the floors song your coach always plays - “I got your equipment for you” - smiling when you know you nailed the choreo - those sister guards that help you move the floor after you perform and vice versa - memories associated with multiple songs - nice flag features - “that was a good run for me”

When me and my guard friends get good ideas.

Last year was my first season. This year my instructor says I can do rifles. Any tips on how NOT to suck?

Tips on how not to suck at rifle:1. DO NOT EVER TELL YOURSELF YOU CAN’T DO SOMETHING. Obviously, if you’re new to rifle, you won’t get everything on the first try. So it’s important to try everything you’re asked to do, even if you drop. Thats why practice is so important.2. Know the parts of the rifle: butt, neck, bolt, swivel, tip. (I’ll post a picture for you after this answer) 3. Drop spins are that hard, but they take a while to get used to. Keep your hand in a taco shape and press your thumb against the neck every time you grab it. 4. Rifle is a very sharp and precise weapon. Make sure your tosses are sharp and tight, not lofty. Your preps need to be sharp, and locked in. Make sure you push down hard enough with your left hand so you get the right rotations. Also make sure your release point are exact (singles at belly button, doubles at chest, triples at shoulder, quads at ear lobe, etc)5. Don’t consider yourself the weakest link because you’re in training. That won’t help you accomplish anything. Of course a lot of people will be better than you, but they have more experience. They were in your place at once. So don’t let that freak you out. I love rifle , i’ve been spinning it for 3 years now. I hope you grow to love it and you’re rifle line members just as much as I do. Good luck. If you have anymore questions don’t be afraid to ask. :)
