Winter Guard - Blog Posts

Saber time

Change my mind

Trying to join DCI is the modern day equivalent of running off to join the circus

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

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

I’m terribly afraid

“Put your butts down, we don’t need no Hoes in our show!”

-The choreographer

And this is why Crocs are banned

What if you live on the Great Plains? Then what?

The worst part of winter guard is not being able to practice outside

I saw someone do a whip nae-nae under a five.

They have an addiction to flirting with death

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

What I’m bad at: most things

What I’m good at: somehow hitting myself in the face with absolutely everything

You know the party is dying when people split into

Crazy party crew

The emotional support squad

Me: Hasn’t yet touched gear over break

Also me: “Why do I have the sensation that I am forgetting something?”

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

Me: Can I barrow your glove?

Older Friend: Sure, but she’s a little smelly

(puts on glove)

Me: HOE DAMN THIS IS NOT A LITTLE SMELLY! GONNA KNOCK A BITCH OUT WITH THIS FOUL SCENT OF DEATH!!!

Just Guard Things

No matter how short your nails are, one will always be broken

When your told to do 100 drop spins

“Ohh ....... crap.”

Just Guard Things

Having an abnormally larger right arm

A Varsity at JV Captain: What’s going to be your first order of business with your JV team?
