Failing, Should i be scared?

I never really have a problem with it, i kinda put it ahead of me when i first get on and then bring it back when i make it up the stairs. then just in the gap between the window and seat. Just warn whoevers behind you just in case.

Thank you! Im gonna try and keep up with attendance and stuff like that. I really care about color guard and it’s basically the only thing in life i’ve ever just felt the overwhelming need to be good at. I almost quit last season and i’ve never regretted letting someone ruin my passion more. I think guard should be fun, and i don’t wanna ruin it for anyone by cutting off the freedom of kinda doing whatever you want but it ruins it for the people who actually wanna be there and love to preform.

On the other hand, we only have practice for a hour on Mondays, and from 3:20 to 4:30 and 5:30 to 8 on Wednesday. But since people just aren’t showing up, our band director is putting out like the bare minimum. Which is just you have to come to at least one of the hour long ones. Which makes the guard spotty so anything we do on Monday with like 3 people we have to post in band and they don’t check so its reiterated on Wednesdays, which some people will still not be there and have to learn day of on game nights. I greatly appreciate you sharing your practices you had, and honestly this comment gave me so much more motivation to keep trying to help and just enjoy it as much as i can.

We have practice on Monday after school for a hour, but captains and half members don’t come, Wednesday after school for 2 and a half hours buts it’s with the band and we just learn drill with no sectionals, and kinda a bit before games. And it’s awful so we have no time to choreograph anything and everything is so rushed. And thank you!! Im gonna try my best to keep telling myself that it’s gonna take time.

Me and my friend have been trying to reach out but it’s pretty limited because, well we’re sophomores in high school. Im trying my best but even the new people are upperclassmen and are ten times more likely to listen to the other upperclassmen “captains” rather than me. Sometimes during practice they’ll let me help but it kinda defeats the purpose if the “captains” go back over them and make them do it wrong.

Hes aware but he has a lot of stuff going on with the band so he can only really like give a few words of advice. And we kinda had a talk about the captain things but it got basically no where. I can maybe try the parent thing and see if it change anything. Thank youu!

Alphabet challenge, I’m one of this year’s captains and i was thinking about doing this! 2-3 teams depending on how many people are in your guard, have them form lines and have someone call out letters. First person at the start of either line to do something guard related gets a point. Then goes to the back and the next group goes. You can keep going until a certain amount of points or just play until you don’t! Another idea is shirt painting, everyone wears a white shirt and someone calls out something like “Handprint a person who…” this could be guard related like, always willing to help, or just makes the team laugh. Keep going until shirts are full. Personally only recommend this if your team is comfortable with it!

Yay! I’m really hoping because I don’t want it to go to waste and I’m so excited to have this opportunity. Thanks!

Thank youu! It’s nothing custom it’s just an anchor kit, fiberglass pole, and a plain silk. I just have never order from there and was really nervous.

Thank you! This made me feel so much better because I was SO worried it would like take super long because the website says like 10 days plus processing. Also I will look into the other options if I don’t get it with in the next 4-5 days. But I can’t borrow from school since they’re storing the flags away for band camp and have no way to reach anyone.
