I am not part of color guard, but there are no posts here, so maybe you can teach me what some things are called, other than throwing the flag up in the air and catching it? Unless that really is what it's called...  |

I actually dated a colorguard girl for five months, but apparently in my school the information is a closely guarded secret. No pun intended.

Thanks, and don't worry, I never call the color guard "flag girls." I wouldn't like it if someone called me a "person who blows into metal."

Well if you really want to do color guard, then an instructor shouldn't stop you from trying it.

i once went to the colorguard practice for auditions. they knew i was in pit but they let me try anyway. let me say, not easy! ever since then, i've never called colorguard easy/to girly. all it is is practice, you cant just wing it, you have to have it down and pact. plus its easy to notice when you drop a rifle/ sabre/ flag, but when playing, its hard to hear a wrong note (unless your pit, the only person playing the instrument).

One of the saxes at my school also said that everyone thinks of our guard as drama queens just because we cried a lot. Our marching season was really rough. We lost our director and nothing went the right way

My band never said that to us but probably thought that cause our guard had a lot of injuries... but that was our 2011 season  |
