#Winter Guard

[toomanyfandomsstuff]

Dude I found this video that was making a joke about band directors not letting kids get water after doing a full run of the show etc etc and SO MANY people just wanna feel the need to tell you that baseball and football and basketball and every other sport is harder. A) it’s not a competition B) not saying band (colorguard) is harder but band lot heat is a different kind of heat. When it’s a hundred degrees outside and you are standing on a concrete slab that does nothing but absorb heat all day for hours and every time you make a mistake you have to do push ups on the ground that’s too hot to touch and you have to sprint to your water breaks and resets (and the guard has to sprint to like eight different spots to reset flags). I’m not saying we work harder, but I am saying that it DOES take a physical toll and to think twice before calling it easy. I wanna see you walk to a coordinate that isn’t marked on the ground based on a tiny piece of paper and memorize like a hundred of them, March specific steps in time with 200 other people while playing an instrument/throwing things in the air in a lot that feels like 115 degrees for three hours at a time

Marching band IS a read sport

Color guard is an inherently gay activity. I don’t know what it is but something about it attracts the queers

Original advertisement for what became Marvel Super Heroes: Contest of Champions. The story was meant to be a direct tie-in to the 1980 Summer Olympics but that idea was completely dropped due to delays and the series didn't come out until 1982.

Ms. Marvel, depicted at the top, was also removed from the story and replaced with She-Hulk due to the continuity changes.

Colorguard is wild cause like you’ll be doing 45s in a show and literally nothing on weapon for like four months and then pick up a rifle during class one day and suddenly have like 8 million bruises

Foxes as types of color guard performers (for the like 2 people who live in this part of the venn diagram with me)

Kevin:

- Parents & older siblings did DCI

- Will name drop shows from like 20 years ago and act like you should know them

- Needs direct validation from the director or they’ll take their frustration out on everyone else

- DEFINITELY a JI (derogatory)

- Pissed that they’re not captain even though they’re not a senior

Neil:

- Feral unknowingly queer child who needed an after school activity to avoid being at home (😅😅😅)

- Stays in the gym after practice to learn cool tricks

- Channels anger into conditioning workouts & gets super strong out of spite

- Isn’t naturally talented but works really hard & makes rifle line

Andrew:

- The sabre prodigy that thinks they’re too good for flag & that everyone low-key hates bc they’re jealous

- Always gets a solo & makes the choreo harder without asking bc it was “too easy”

- Never knows the counts for the choreo when asked but is always in time

- Silently counts every drop they see in other shows

Nicky:

- The first out kid on the team who sings along to the pop girlie warm up music

- Saw the Flaggots at Philly Pride and decided to join despite having no prior athletic or musical interest

- Has watched Light Brigade’s Madonna show like a billion times on youtube

- Technique is just okay but they bring ~the dramA~ when performing

Allison:

- C*nty former competition dancer who hated all the drama but still wanted to perform

- Helps underclassmen with their hair & makeup

- Hosts the “summer sectional that’s really an excuse for a pool party” every year at her house

- An absolute beast on rifle

Renee:

-Upperclassman career flag who *could* make rifle line but simply doesn’t want to

- Helps all of the flag newbies not be too scared to let go

- Unofficially in charge of team bonding

-Bakes cookies related to the show theme for show days

Matt:

- Also plays an instrument and is therefore friends with everyone

- Knows all of the cheerleaders & football players & convinces them to come to a band/winterguard competition

- Runs the guard insta & makes the section t-shirts

Dan:

- Guard captain who is very supportive but also wants to WIN

- Very strict about conditioning days, but will always chill out if someone is on their period

- Organizes a ton of sectionals even when it’s cold and no one wants to go, but always buys pizza

Aaron:

- The straight STEM girlie who somehow ended up there

- Instead of practicing, they just complain about how hard their classes are to justify not knowing the choreo

- Got in trouble with the director for being homophobic, but the team was too small to make them quit

Seth:

- Only wants to spin rifle bc he thinks flags are “for girls”

- Refuses to try during dance warmups

- Never goes to optional sectionals

- Skips band parties for “real” parties

Bonus:

Jeremy:

- Former baton girlie who’s really good at sabre & can do a bunch of cool tricks under tosses

- Always the first to point out when someone shy/new does well

- The “GET IT!!”/“You got it!!” girlie, depending on circumstance

- Organizes bigs/littles for show day traditions

#no I’m not projecting onto neil 😅😅😅 #I was in HS guard 2013-2017 #which might be important context #no one ask me about college guard ☠️ #our director left us in ohio #the foxhole court #aftg #the sunshine court #color guard #all for the game #winter guard
