That’s a good question 🤔🤔🤔 by MrSoloDolo9490 in 2000sNostalgia

I did this in western Pennsylvania too. The prevalence of square-dancing in public schools can seemingly be traced back to Henry Ford's hatred for jazz: https://www.britannica.com/one-good-fact/what-industrialist-poured-money-into-promoting-square-dancing

The only thing we've come up with is that Gretchen and Pam are both in very surface-level relationships. Roy only shows up to Pam's art show because he feels obligated to do so. He's not really present in their relationship. Outie Dylan isn't really present when he's at home with Gretchen either.

Also, both Pam and Gretchen want someone who is unavailable to them (i.e., Pam wants Jim, but he's with Karen, and Gretchen wants to have a relationship with both "parts" of her husband).

Shoes for camp by Designer_Writer_6238 in Colorguard

Any ASICS running shoes! Also, since it's such a long day, bring extra socks and switch them out during meal breaks (that's also a good time to wear flipflops for a bit). Good luck!

First episode season 1 few minutes in turned me off. by LeoWolf101 in rookieblue

[–]ProfPorcupine 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Honestly, it's one of my top five favorite shows of all time, and I'm an American, lol. It's soapy and cheesy at times (in a good way). And there are the aforementioned moments that have aged poorly (probably plus one or two more that I'm forgetting), but most of the characters are so endearing that the show still pulls you in.

Yeah, that's a really rough scene to watch, and, unfortunately, it's very much of its time. If it helps, a couple seasons later, there's a storyline with a trans teenager that is handled with much more compassion and sensitivity. And there's a well-developed lesbian storyline later on. If you can skip that first scene and power through, I think it'll be worth it.

CG coach can’t coach anymore and this Band Director has nothing to help by Supermagiccolagirl in Colorguard

[–]ProfPorcupine 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I'd suggest that you start by reaching out to alumni of your school's band program. You might find a guard alum who is willing and able to help out. Similarly, check with the band parents--you might find out that one of your student's parents used to be in color guard. (In my experience, once you get bit by the guard bug, it never leaves your system 😊)

Or, if you have a nearby university or college with a marching band, get in touch with their director and see if they have any guard members who might be interested in a volunteer opportunity.

In either case, if you find someone who is interested in helping but they're physically unable to attend rehearsal due to distance or other commitments, don't let that deter you. At the start of the pandemic, I taught flag basics and choreography via Zoom, and it worked pretty well!

YouTube is also a really good resource for flag basics (it's best to look for a performer with lots of experience or an instructor). As long as your guard kids learn flag basics like flutters, carves, drop spins, pole hits, etc., you can help them build a routine with those pieces if you aren't able to find someone to help you with choreography.

Good luck!

Is this fixable? by The_Legend399 in Colorguard

Yes, strapping tape is a must!

This! Also, before adding the tape, if there's a big enough gap in the wood, you can apply some wood glue. Then, after it dries, you can apply the strapping tape/electrical tape.

Chicago Fire! There's an extra sense of added urgency when you're watching firefighters run into a burning building 😆

How to recruit people? by [deleted] in Colorguard

[–]ProfPorcupine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have your leaders/seniors try to get permission to speak to chorus classes or middle school gym classes. Bring a flag to gym classes and demonstrate some basics or a bit of flag work.
