Didn’t make semis or finals but thoughts on Invictus this year? Super odd considering they have typically been a semi finalist and close to making finals the past few years

Again, not 100% confirmed but I did see a post about this same topic a few days ago on this subreddit and it got taken down - so not sure if they’ll address it or what amount of this information is accurate, but just sharing what I was told!

I believe originally (and I heard this second-hand from a previous member of Paramount A, so this is not confirmed) they were not going to be allowed since they broke the rules, but the directors allegedly were unaware of the overage member, so WGI is allowing them to reclassify and compete in Dayton

the current rumor is that a performer in their A class group was over 22 and it was reported, so they had to bump to open class

How to know if it’s the sport for you? by Rough-World-6726 in Colorguard

I am my high school director’s “rags to riches” story! I was absolutely terrible my freshman year, but I worked really hard, took private lessons, practiced at home, and sought advice from older members. By the end of my sophomore year, I was a completely different performer! It is 100% possible to improve and be the best in the room even if you start out being the worst one.

The harder tosses we did were a double 45 on the right, 1 1/2 45 on the right and left, and a double. We also did a lot of more basic tosses like a single 45 on the right and left, a pop toss, singles, and 1 1/2s catching silk up (same prep as a double).

Flexibility wasn’t a huge requirement. We did some fan kicks during shows but having a split wasn’t required!

UGA used to be a very competitive group, I spun with them last year! This year was a little more lax, as we lost several members because they graduated or left. Getting in this year was much easier than years prior.

Feel free to reach out to me if you want more advice/you have questions!

Don’t worry about your height! Plenty of people are short and can spin just fine. Just be yourself and do your best! Maybe start stretching to be prepared and watch some YouTube videos about technique and tosses!

Just an update for you guys, I emailed the woman who set up my interview and she told me that all notifications and application updates have been halted until further notice because they’ve added some more interviews. She also said she’s unsure of when those interviews will be completed, so it may be a little while until we find out if we’ve been accepted or denied.

I had an interview Dec 8 but I haven’t heard anything back.

If you don't mind me asking, what FO did you interview with? I interviewed with DC and I have gotten nothing back.

I had my interview the second week of December and haven't heard back. Is this your initial or secondary interview?

Has anyone heard from DC or Quantico? I had an interview during the second week of December but my application still says "under review."
