cause I use to do color guard and indoor winter guard, and I kind of miss the fun of marching band and the pretty colors. Not to mention my old high schools theme this year is Angels and Demons I literally almost tossed out my laptop when I heard about the theme cause I would make one swanky demon and they have these cool shiny flags and stuff, not to mention they have 2 sets of costumes this year around for Games and then contests. And all my former years of doing it we never got the costumes that early before, last year we didn't have our costumes until maybe halfway through the season. And we would have to recycle our flags. Idk I just - I just kind of miss being in color guard I guess and I keep watching old shows I was in. I could have been in winter guard this year but I need my money and also the try outs were 2 hours away
Idk. I'm just being nostalgic, I was former Captain and former noob. I accidently took flags home to practice and never gave them back, found my gloves under my bed and my rifle is sitting there in my closet. ( it's a wooden rifle ). I remember all the memories of the girls calling me Dad because the other captain was considered mom so I wanted to be Dad, and when we would disagree some of them would be like 'Mom and dad are fighting again.'
I even remember them being shocked I was Pansexual and I said 'I'm like Jackharkness but like not cause If I die I'm dead' and thus the first group of people I've told about my sexuality you guys are the second cause I trust ye...well third my cousin knew
and the proceeded to try and kill me to test the theory
Did anyone do color guard with their high school? Or do any sports or whatever? What are your favorite memories?
*trys to be social*

That's so cool, I never really talked to the piy that much cause my old band actually hated the guard or rather certain girls and the coach But it's so hard to like hear it's competition day and not go right?? My old band had a double header last weekend and did so good but I couldn't go cause I was sick but got to watch it love via facebook.
I'm the only dad thou lol I had 20 children and 1 boyfriend/girlfriend and 1 Wolf cub which is related to latin but thats another story. Band is literally the only good thing about school

That's good, I know my old band blew through color guard coaches but it was both the guards fault and the coach cause some girls were such drama queens while the coaches were more... well sucky
Me too! I literally fed my guard if they came home with me, i would just ask if any of them had lunch or snack and if they said no i would offer either whatever was left in my snack bag or get them something. i liked spoiling them sometimes x~x

i have no idea but it gotta stop lol That's a good idea, girls not eating were a problem in my guard cause so I either had to bring extra food or take them somewhere to grab something for lunch. Or even worse when kids didn't bring water ewe

I just don't understand why they don't bring water, like just bring a dollar or something even or a little plastic water bottle and your set. Having to wait in line at the watering fountain with a dozen of other kids is so stressful xP But I guess they just happen to forget when band camp rolls out and it gets colder

•♕• im in marching band, not color guard (trombone), but one of my good friends is and i always feel bad for them because our school is Dirt Poor, we dont have money for anything, like no props, guard uses the same flags every year, and their costumes are usually like. black jazz pants and a tank top or something bc we cant get new uniforms. like seriously, yesterday i was at a huge competition all day, and it was terrible because we were surrounded by all these bands who spend thousands and thousands of dollars (like seriously, 100,000) on their shows and we spend a tiny tiny fraction of that. but against our instruments that are literally kept together by zip ties and duct tape, we still manage to be in the top section of our class usually (im not talking like, grand champion or anything, though, but we still place well) even though we have 50 cents to our name •♔•

I think the hard work a band puts into their show and not the showy props and stuff are more impressive then the bands that can come out on a field with staircases or huge flags with lots of sparkles or whatever they can buy for the looks and effects portion of the show.

Guard looks really fun and if I wouldn't be known as a traitor to the percoussionist, I would do indoor tbh. I was in front ensemble for my freshman and sophmore year, tried to do indoor last year, but they wouldn't let me unless I switched my entire schedule around to fit band in it and this year I have too much stuff to do. I miss it tho.

Like tone down the sparkles and get together to make some shapes or do something that fits your class lolGuard looks really fun and if I wouldn't be known as a traitor to the percoussionist, I would do indoor tbh.

I miss it tho. Guard is fun! Well as long as you keep the drama at bay then it's a blast. I understand thou I got called a traitor when I switched out of concert band because it didn't fit my schedule any longer cause I was going to be going to be attending two schools for the last two years of high school. I miss it too x~x not the waking up really early part thou
