I’m thinking about possibly posting trick tosses, but I’m not very sure about it. If you see this let me know in comments if I should or shouldn’t.

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

The Ambitious Freshmen Strike Once More

Now that marching guard is over, the majority of the freshmen today ended up getting trying to learn how to do drop spins. It definitely is a happy sight seeing people trying to teach this group of hopefuls trying their best. Is this just a common thing within guards that the moment marching band is over everyone wants to learn weapon or is that just exculusive to my school?

Post-Season Thoughts

Never in my life would I think I’d be walking off of a football field in a stadium while crying.

Never would I think I’d be crying as two of the captains announce that they won’t be doing winter guard.

Never Have I thought I would have become so attached to what I do that it became a part of my personality

Never should I doubt in my ability to do something new

Never will I give up doing what I love

I shall forever cherish this season as not only my first season but also as a season where my I changed massively as a person from a shy quiet child who’d always be trying to hide from anyone to someone who’d smile defiantly at judges while performing.

I am so grateful for the chance to be in this family and this sport.

GOOD LUCK TO ALL TEAMS COMPETING TODAY!

It’s the End of the Season

Quite Frankly, I’ve only been doing this for 4 months now and it’s become my life. I don’t know what winter guard will be like and I love the seniors so much I don’t want them to leave us. It’s way to early to be thinking about this n all but it’s sad. Especially since all of them are varsity and that I’m not sure how much the two teams interact.

I love you Bri, Payton, Jazz, and Copeland, my captains, along with the other seniors, regardless of who stays for next season. All of y’all have a place in my heart and soul.

Senior Advice P1.

ONWARDS TO STATE!

Seriously that feeling when everyone had a good run, and the butterflies kick in with the belief that your going to do something amazing. It’s incredible. Absolute Run of my life

The Pit Bus Was A Little Too Lit

We’re on our way to a UIL competition trying to quickly do all of our make up and suddenly the radio starts blaring.

The bus that the pit crew was on had its belt break and the bus started flaming; since the 2nd guard bus had the most space we were designated to pit up the crew.

When the bus stopped it was a mad dash to get eyelashes and mascara on, absolute chaos.

Then the pit comes on and they were in the back of the bus with the flag bags and stuff, I was the only guard child completely surrounded by pit members

And they were laughing about how much hair spray and glitter was in the air. This was fabulous

And surprisingly an interesting experience, being a freshman completely surrounded by Junior and Senior Pit crew.

Wind @ me while practicing

When you finally get that good run

But all of your other runs have been shit

Band Director @ Band

Have you ever just done a double 45 when stressed?

BECAUSE SURE TO HELL I HAVE!

And it’s gone over multiple fences

What is this?

Is it normal to get super protective of your gear To the point where you will fight if you so much as see someone looking at your flags wrong?

Hello Community

I’m joining the Color Guard/ Band community out here on Tumblr and if y’all could repost this to let me find people that would be awesome!

This blog will be me tracking my expirences from a Freshman to a Senior in the RRHS color guard! It will contain random shit posts, jokes, and the crazy stuff that happens in the new family.

And if someone could help me make a header that would be awesome

Also, I won’t care where your from. School grudges are a useless way to expend energy

Call me Artemis, I would much rather not have an upper class men pinpoint me

Audition choreography which was super easy to learn but still manages to mess up in the end with a double parallel.
