      Ik this is from like two years ago, but this is for anyone who needs it. I'm going into my freshman year in colorguard and I was on my middle school team 8th grade year. Everything comes with time. I couldn't do singles with flags for the life of me when i first learned them, yet I kept practicing and taking the advice I was given to improve and its now one of the tosses I'm best at with flags. As for rifles and Sabres. Not even my team captain knows how to do sabres, it's okay. As for rifles, they're really difficult to learn and it takes time and practice.

    i'm going to be marching for the first time! do you often hit band members? i joined guard during winter season so i've never had to spin and toss that close to other people.. that's like.. my biggest fear. anyway, i really enjoyed this video!

    • @MsAlison
      @MsAlison  Před 5 lety +5

      haha, dw, it's not too common to hit band members. i had to spin w the drumline literally two steps of drill in front of me but i was okay. as long as everyone is where they're supposed to be, you should be okay. otherwise, you can ask someone to shift your drill spot a little.

      Fun With Katie omg, gurl, yay!! that’s so exciting. you’re going to have so much fun, marching band and colorguard is like a whole new world. colorguard is going to be extremely difficult at first because it’s a strange skill, like you’re doing physical activities that you’re not used to. but after the first year it gets a lot easier and becomes a lot more fun. just keep pushing through, work hard, listen to the veteran members' tips, and have fun! i have so, so much i could tell you about colorguard but in a short version, that’s what i’d say for now :)).

    I’m in colorguard & we have band camp this week & it is sooo hard. This week is 8 hours for our schedule & next week it’s 12 hours on the field with the marching band & im so scared I’ll mess up bc we have 4 movements & I know how to do the first movement but the second movement is the hardest so far we learned it today & my hand has bruises. I’m also a freshman so it’s harder for me bc it’s my first year but I am going to keep trying bc if I never try then im going to let the colorguard & marching band down & rn it stresses me out I’m just letting u know that this stuff isn’t easy at all, it’s way more complicated but then when u practice u eventually get better y’all pls pray for me I’m way behind on my choreography😫😤😭

    I have been doing colorguard for two years, and I just made my freshman year team! I'm so happy and excited about my band camp. It's in July and It's two weeks, 10 hours a day. It sounds so exhausting, but I can't wait. I love colorguard.

  • @andrewgarfieldishot.4454

    i’m slowly realizing how much our coach pushes us- so like i’m a freshman and i’ve only done marching as of right now, we have our first winter guard comp in like a week and a half! basically, we started learning rifle halfway through marching, now we are expected to toss singles,doubles, and triples in our show! so like slay- and also we’re need to know AT LEAST quads by the end of the year and before spring show- so that slays. we also start sabre sophmore year- chances are very high that you will make varsity as a sophmore also- anyways i’m not trying to brag i just am a little bit nervous :)

    At my school, we (colorguard) have our own bonding time during band camp and we play so many fun games like a murder mystery game and a game called "birdie on the perch" where there's a bird and a perch and there's two circles circling around each other in opposite directions and once the music stops and the coach yells "BIRDIE ON THE PERCH" you have to find your partner and the bird has to jump on the perch's back. People always get hurt playing it but it's so fun and creates so many memories. I may hate the heat and exhaustion that comes with band camp but I love the memories that come with it❤️.

    • @MsAlison
      @MsAlison  Před 5 lety +1

      I left color guard for a lot of reasons besides a job (the way my team was run for instance), but color guard does eat up a majority of your time (with multiple practices during the week and Saturdays being booked with tournaments/comps or 9 hour practices) so attempting to have a job or manage life with other extracurriculars is very difficult.
