wow, peoples' stupidity never ceases to amaze me. while i am not the biggest fan of the color guard, its better to have them than not. actually i saw a band without a color guard, and it wass just sad. ours is pretty good, though they were a good deal better last year. still, they won our class 2/3 competions.

Colorguard is really sick if everything's completely synchronized. However, most colorguards can't performe their routines that perfectly..

I was going to do winterguard this year (would have done colorguard, but I play an instrument where there are only 11 of us in all 4 grades so I had to stick with that) but I couldnt, I had too much stuff going on, I wouldn't have been able to make practices. So maybe next year.

ours sucked at the beginning of the season, because most of the guard was freshmen/new, so they didnt know what they were doing, but they got a helluvalot better, and won our class 2 out of 3 times. we didnt win anything at lassiter, but thats because we were competitng against the best bands in the state, and it was our first competition

we dont have a dance team. we have a step team. theyre kind of frightening. last year they got rid of them because they were innappropriate, but this year theyre back and as obnoxious as ever, but with several extremely plus sized qirls *shudder* the entire thing is black. nothing wrong with that, but not a whole lot of diversity

colorguard = JROTC cadets bearing the flags and colors of the school / country. colorguard sux.
Drill Team = JROTC cadets that show honor, integrity, and other leadership traits. drillteam rocks in other words, i'm not talkin bout band stuff, and i'm Pro- Drill Team. ^only applies to schools with ROTC |

wow, crazy there's a thread about color guard. =] well im on guard and i love it!
WHAT IS COLORGUARD??? Color guard is spending 15 to 20 hours a week marching up and down a football field or on a 50 by 70 foot area spinning a 3 1/2 pound rifle or a 5 1/2 foot flag. It's your free time to strive for perfection and hearing; "That's wrong! Pay attention! Try harder!" over and over. It is riding countless hours on cold bumpy buses and eating in more fast food restaurants than you care to remember. Sometimes you march with blisters on your feet, splints on your fingers, when you're sick or when every muscle in your body aches. It means being willing to try again even though you have just suffered a defeat, tears are streaming down your face and your heart is breaking. Then another Saturday night come! Judges, instructors, other guards, and 500 or 600 spectators are waiting for your performance. For five or six minutes, every ounce of your strength and concentration are dedicated to making our family, friends, school, and town proud of your competitive unit. The demanding, endless hours of practice have been a prelude to this moment. There is the hope in your heart, "Please, let this one be ours!" But color guard is much more than work and intense competition. It is closeness between young people that cannot be described. It is doing your best and knowing that you have your very own group of "fans" who you will always encourage and support you, Whether you win or lose. color guard is a science, its mathematical, its a language, its a sport, and a preforming art. more info at http://www.rosevillehighband.homestead.com/colorguard.html anyway, im really looking forward to this season of winter guard since im on weapon line now. woot sabre! and because my coach is gonna be on Fantasia. if u live in california then you know they got 1st last season in WGI and they are awesome. =] |

There's two colorguards.
A colorguard that has to do with a rotc/jrotc program. And a colorguard that has to do with a band. The colorguard with rotc/jrotc is the one holding the american flag, the rotc/jrotc flag, and rifles on the sides. The colorguard with the band, is usually just a group of guys or girls dancing in front of the band, with flags. Usually the flags bear the color patterns of the school colors. |

I'm not in guard; I'm a flutist in marching and concert band. But I think colorguard is awesome!
I didn't vote because...well, if 'no' supports the band, then I'd have to say that. But otherwise, guard is really cool. Ours isn't too bad; it looks hard (coordination, at least), but the result always looks awesome. I don't know, but I love what the colorguard does for the band. In our 'Middler' (it's actually a piece from 'Aerodynamics', but it's our second piece in our show), the guard does a fantastic routine...it compliments all the dynamics and entrances in the piece. I love it. hehe, yeah...I'm a total band nerd. I live for the practices at 7am every morning, and the games on Thursdays, and the contests.... Tweeak, I love your siggy! "What's the football team doing on the marching field??" We practice on a parking lot. It works well enough; it's the same size, and all. Our school has its own stadium nearby, so we have a few stadium practices. On game days, we practice on the football fields...we don't do that everyday just because it's easier to practice on concrete and get all the sets right. Our band has gotten straight ones for...I dunno how many years...so I guess it all works. Kayla--it IS all about the band!! ![]() Tweeak, what instrument do you play? |

I live in Texas. What about you?
I'm a Sophomore. Next year, I'll be in senior high. Practices will be after school (4:30 to 6:30, but they nearly always go to 7, at least). Our band (9-10) and senior high band (11-12) combines to play one piece during the half time show of the senior high game every year. Last year (when I was a freshie..my first time marching), that combined band was the biggest in all of Texas. 200 people in my school alone...200 or 250 in the senior high...a LOT of band nerds, lol I've been in the lowest band for three years...7th, 8th, and 9th. But this year, I somehow made the highest band. Yeah, that came as a big shock to me...I cried. LoL....my non-band friends thought I was crazy. I'm glad I made someone's day! I love meeting band nerds. |

except that here, referring to as as "band nerds" is a crime. i live in "band geek" territory
![]() <---i live in georgia im a sophmore too, but we have one high school for 9-12. 140 member band. wouldnt it be really hard to learn a whole show for one performance? in middle school, we were at transition years, because we got a new BD, and a lot of people quit, so there was only one class, but in high school, i am still in the lowest class which sucks a lot. theyre soooooo bad. i get to play first chair first part, but id rather play 3rd elsewhere. my class is awful. its sad and lonely. me too! |

Most band people who don't live in Plano (city where I live) call themselves band geeks. I think that's more common than band nerd....but whatever, I'm too used to band nerd. =)
Ah, I know what you mean about the lowest class! In 7th grade, I was first chair for a while...we had three bands, and I was okay with it. 8th grade, though, we had to cut down to two bands. My BD promised me that if I did solo/ensemble, tried out for all-city and did well, blah blah, I'd get in the highest band. But, when I did that...he told me that I was good, but there was no room in the highest band. -__- I was first chair all year...it was the worst year I ever had in band. We got one decent piece, for about four days...and when our BD found out that more than half the band was upset because the piece was actually HARD...he threw that one away and pulled out something easy. Gah. That really sucked. Yeah, it gets sad and lonely...all of my friends were in a higher band. I was stuck with a bunch of people who were upset about notes that were above the staff. -__- But don't worry. Band is always fun during marching season, no matter what band you're in. ^.^ |

QUOTE(abstracted @ Dec 29 2004, 5:11 PM) Most band people who don't live in Plano (city where I live) call themselves band geeks. I think that's more common than band nerd....but whatever, I'm too used to band nerd. =) Ah, I know what you mean about the lowest class! In 7th grade, I was first chair for a while...we had three bands, and I was okay with it. 8th grade, though, we had to cut down to two bands. My BD promised me that if I did solo/ensemble, tried out for all-city and did well, blah blah, I'd get in the highest band. But, when I did that...he told me that I was good, but there was no room in the highest band. -__- I was first chair all year...it was the worst year I ever had in band. We got one decent piece, for about four days...and when our BD found out that more than half the band was upset because the piece was actually HARD...he threw that one away and pulled out something easy. Gah. That really sucked. Yeah, it gets sad and lonely...all of my friends were in a higher band. I was stuck with a bunch of people who were upset about notes that were above the staff. -__- But don't worry. Band is always fun during marching season, no matter what band you're in. ^.^ its just become a bit of a pet peeve, like color guard and their "spin, not twirl" :rolleyes" thats the exact same thing here, except with 9th and 10th grades...well, kind of. we have 3 bands, and while i was ok last year, this year we had a surpluss of clarinets, and i kind of suck, so everyone else moved up and im stuck with a bunch of freshmen (not even the cool ones) and stupid people. at the beginning of the year, i wasnt used to first part, so there were notes id never needed to play before, and admittedly i couldnt play one of the first songs they gave us at all, but the rest were fairly easy, and ive improved a ton, and yet i still cant move up because they hate me and the numbers dont allow it. yeah, marching season is good, so that i get to be with all my top band friends and not compail too much ;] |

We recently got two new BDs (last year)...they're pretty good. Our head BD (we have three) actually went to our school. Yeah, our school is that old. She was drum major at our school and at our senior high. She played clarinet. So yeah, we have good BDs.
We have around 400 band people total (9-12), because there're 200 in my 9-10 school. Performing arts has a lot of respect...mainly because a lot of people know about it. In 6th grade, everyone has to take either choir, band, or orchestra. So anyone who wants to ditch performing arts takes choir (don't need to buy an instrument), and then they do whatever they want. In the end, everyone ends up with a taste, though. But, yeah...there're all kinds of people in our band. We're a close group when we're together, but we have our own little groups, too. That helps the band gain a lot of respect--everyone knows at least one band person. This has almost turned into a band topic, rather than a colorguard topic. Hee. ![]() |

i think thats because there are only two people that are actually on color guard posting. others are in band, and the rest dont know wth we're talking about x]P
and yeh we have a assistant BD too, but he's really new...so we cant just rely on him. so until our BD comes back, or we get a new one, we're relying just on our DM ADM and Fl. but they really dont know what they're doing either. yay we're screwed!! and we have a color guard and drumline coach. not really instructors. =\ oh well. they're doing a better job than our BD. >< |

our BD has been here since the current seniors freshmen year, and the assistant since maybe the year after that? im not actually sure, something like that. theyre good, but better for concert season than marching. we still get straight superiors and the best competitions around (because here we have independant competitions, rather than that curcuit junk), but with the last BDs, they won more competitions. oh well, they were suppose to be really tough, and the current ones dont even like me, so i probably wouldnt stick around with kirkland.
in 6th grade we have the option of band orch or chorus, but not everyone takes them. we have a lot of poor minorities, so they cant afford it. plus, the middle school was pretty big, so theyd all be too huge. at least marching season is over, isnt it, lost in the clouds? |

a lot of people hate the guard instructor during guard practices, but she seems fine during marching practices. i think she also works with UGA's guard, so she didnt even have that much time for us this year, which would be why they sucked at the beginning of the season. they go better though, and won our class 2/3 times. our drum major won an entire competition, and the entire band won one as well!!

well color also drop flags//rifles = marching band using point.. i really don't care about the colorguard for the thudering herd (the band i'm in).. i think the only time you would colorguard if the band is small and sucks soo the colorguard can use eyecatching flags to draw less attention form the judge..

i saw a 90some person band without a colorguard, and seriously, you need colorguards. they may seem useless at times, but thats only till you see bands without them.
of course, it probably didnt help that that particular band didnt march very well, but still |

were pretty under funded and staffed, but our band isnt as big as yours, so were ok. actually, its fine with me. i can only take so many authority figures hating me at the same time. the drum instructor was our student teacher for the first half of the semester, and we had a mutual hate of each other. he didnt think i could play, i didnt think he could teach and conduct, so that was a fun time

yes, marching season is over! and im sooo happy about that! because i hate feild season! it is evil, but only because i hate how our band sucks.
and, probably 95% of guys that do color guard are gay. =]P but i like my coach. he's pretty funny and alright to be around. and color guard isnt just to make the band look better! /")>< thats why they have their own thing second semester. they just visually add to the over all preformance. in feild season they have their own judge and everything. but they do help score wise for the band. cuz i think one of the categories is like visual appearance, so if they dont have a guard, then they wont get as many point in that category.... |

the band without a guard had shitty visuals anyway
yeah, we had one guy flute player from concert band consider trying for guard, but he opted for cheerleading instead, so we dont have any i miss it. as soon as we realized our band didnt suck (we got discouraged after the big good bands first competition) by winning the last competition, season was over and it didnt matter anymore. we couldve hada longer football season, but our team sucks, but by that time there were skrew ups all over the drill anyway, so its good we didnt have to go f**k it up again |

QUOTE(paliking09 @ Dec 31 2004, 2:50 PM) or perhaps not. especially when they can completely mess up a band class. i was a horrid one from tennessee that had tight guard costumes and big girls, so when they played the shake it part of "hey ya" (yeah, they sucked to begin with) it was gross. plus, they barely played, didnt march that well, and broke formation as they left the fieild to cheer for themselves, and then expected to win class, and it was just sad and tacky. the people at that competition digusted me. such hicks. at least we won! |

Lol, I posted pictures in the 'Pictures' forums. :P One of out our 3 guys on guard is gay. It's not me, by the way. (:
Oh, it was horrible. We had to do this Christmas routine (real simple) to 'Jingle Bell Rock' for a school assembly, and we were separated into different groups that would come on at different times. I was in the first group, and we had to place our right hand on our right hip, pop up our left leg, and shake our hips for like, 10 counts. Mostly all of the girls on our guard are all pretty, so that wasn't a problem. But I had to do it! So embarassing. o.o; Anyways, yeah. Yay winter guard! |

2 years ago before my freshmen year there were 2 guys on our small guard. neither were gay. this year we have one guy that just joined. he didnt do feild season so he has a lot to learn. he's doing pretty well so far. but he's not gay. he says he's bi...but i dont belive him. x]P hard to explain.
and why would they drop after winter guard??? o.0 |
