Everything I need to know I learned in colorguard...
Ugh! 10 hour guard rehearsal! I'm so tired. Alice wouldn't let us sit down what-so-ever, it was ridiculous. Alice didn't get any better after my parents talked to her, in fact she got worse. But now not only was she being a bitch to me, she was being a bitch to everyone else too. She made the rifles run a lap, just because she wanted us to. She is out of control, I can't wait until Lang comes back (I'm starting to miss the little guy). On a better note, the work is awesome! I love it! If it turned out the work was lame, I would've been so disappointed I decided to stay (I only decided to stay so I can march colorgaurd). Colorguard is soooo much better than winterguard. I don't even know how to explain it. So I wont, but I'll leave you with this:
You know you've been in colorguard/band way to long if:
- Your friends notice bruises on you and you didn't even know that they were there
- You forget how to count above 8
- You always step off on the left foot
- You find yourself switching feet to get back on-step while walking through the mall
- You find yourself doing sashes down the hall
- You have 2 rifles/flags/sabres; one for practicing and one for performance
- You've hit yourself in the head enough times to the point it doesn't even hurt anymore
- You're always half an hour early whenever you're meeting someone
- Electrical tape is used for everything!!
- You're always thinking, "What's the football team doing on the marching field?"
- When you know exactly where that special band member is in the drill sets for the entire show!
- You walk in step to all the music you hear
- You can spin everything in sight (pencils, brooms, pool cues...)
- You can catch everything that's thrown at you
- You have an excuse for everything
- You know that "one more time" really means 5 more times
- You know that a five minute break really equals 2.5 minutes
- You went to all the school football games but never paid for one
- Your nails never extend the tips of your fingers
- You've never actually watched a football game
- You march to background music in the mall
- You're constantly running out of White-Out covering the marks on the walls and ceiling from the rifle/flag/sabre you WEREN'T spinning in the house...
- You know never to sit near the bus bathroom on a long road trip.
-You know that just because a band is from California doesn't automatically make them any better than us.
