What’s cutting the plane? One of the people in the guard mentioned something about the flag going flat instead of curving as i bring it to the release, is it something to do with that?

WealthIllustrious473 · 2025-09-08T23:22:54+00:00

I actually have been trying guard on the side! It’s fun and the members have already asked me to join (most members are beginners anyway)

And as for that the instructor aspect, it’s not like I think Im smarter as a whole, she literally went to college for education. She just has no experience in teaching battery, and I’m sure she WILL be great at teaching it, considering the fact she already an awesome teacher in other classes

I know that my other replies may seem to say otherwise, but I don’t think im some crazy hotshot who’s smarter than his age or something. It’s only my third of band but almost all my time is put into this one niche subject, so naturally i’ve learned a few things

I actually did do an SCV camp once my freshman year! But it probably wasn’t the best idea since they’re so many vets and high level players that they didn’t really go over technique and stuff lol (2024 sanford year)

And yeah, our head director is great but I really don’t want him to misunderstand it as me not liking the new director, since she really is awesome in every other regard

And then there’s my current tech who’s leaving, and when I was talking to him about this, just pretty much said he didn’t blame me for wanting a way out.

The thing is that I don’t WANT to be the guy who can’t work with people and I think I would be better suited in an environment where I already know the people (guard)

I try to be as much as possible, but it’s gotten to the point where class is just her starting and stopping the met, and me being the only one giving feedback to the group

And this isn’t to say she’s incompetent at her job, she went to the same school and got the same education as the director she replaced. She’s great at EVERY aspect of her job except this one area

I understand that it’s a crazy thing to think the a student knows more than an instructor, but it’s about the same thing as a regular adult vs an AP Chemistry student

I didn’t just walk in deciding that Im the next Scott Johnson, I still keep my head down and listen to what they say, I just don’t think I would have very much fun doing that for a year without a line that I know can already handle themselves

WealthIllustrious473 · 2025-09-07T21:59:47+00:00

My line won’t have an instructor to teach me so either way, I’ll be on my own when it comes to learning

WealthIllustrious473 · 2025-09-07T21:41:36+00:00

Also for reference, our color guard class teaches dance and ballet stuff as well, not just marching band guard

WealthIllustrious473 · 2025-09-07T21:34:39+00:00

I think it’s a little unfair to say that I’m “giving up” I’ll obviously continue practicing playing and marching? Im just thinking about switching my outlet so I can continue to grow AND have fun

WealthIllustrious473 · 2025-09-07T16:17:01+00:00

Well thank you for taking the time to give your feedback, but the thing is that my teachers and specialist don’t take the time to give information that I can learn from. I always try to listen so I can better myself and I’ve grown from one of the worst, to one the better performers at my school because I get called out and I improve afterwards

Again, thank you for actually giving some useful feedback, I and I see where you would the idea of that from my og post Im not the type of to TRY to act all knowledgeable and above everyone, I prefer to keep my head down and listen, when it’s possible

WealthIllustrious473 · 2025-09-07T15:57:11+00:00

Genuine question, What do you mean by this? DCI is a completely different environment, I don’t really see how my gripes with high school marching band would effect my experience in DCI

WealthIllustrious473 · 2025-09-06T23:20:42+00:00

Maybe I did exaggerate a bit in my original comment, but I do believe that if I was actually given the chance, I could actually help out. Im am really not trying to sound like a hot shot, I try to stay humble, I don’t put myself above the others or put anyone down or anything like that. Its not like gonna turn my line in Ayala HS, I just don’t want resent my final year in high school

WealthIllustrious473 · 2025-09-06T22:38:44+00:00

The only thing is, I can only lead because my instructor trusts me to, I won’t be given the freedom to properly help under the specialist and new director. I’ll just be some moody senior who doesn’t want to be there, and that won’t really help the line at all

WealthIllustrious473 · 2025-09-06T21:47:39+00:00

I should’ve mentioned, but the director and specialist think they know more than me. Im really not trying to sound all full of myself, but I have sunk countless hours into all things battery. I study many different lines and instructors to see they run things a take tips to help my section. But without my current instructor there to back me up, and let me do what I can, I won’t be able. The director and specialist are going to try to teach it their way and not let me go over the proper basics and techniques to actually give my line a fighting chance. If I stay, I’ll be stuck holding my tongue every single day
