_____Tonight was the Monster Concert at the high school. There were bands/orchestras/otherthingsIdon'tknowwhattheyliketobecalled from the middle schools and the high school, the drumline, and the color guard that all performed.
_____(Oh, yeah! Drumline won first place in our class at the competition on Saturday! Woot woot!)
_____I feel like it was our best color guard show we've ever done. It's nice to have people in the stands who you know care about the school and the programs. I'm so proud of everyone! : )
_____At the end of it all (including taking off all of the contact paper stars that we spent hours putting on the floor a few months ago :P ), we found out who the color guard captains for this next year will be!... drumroll.... The results are... Kenna and I! I'm glad for us both, and glad that I've had Kaylien and April as the fantastic captains this year. I love color guard so much.

_____I LOVE COLOR GUARD!
_____I am so looking forward to summer. : ) Guard starts practice next Tuesday after spring break! That's the 26th! If you even remotely think you might dislike but not hate color guard, you should come, because color guard is fantastic and is the best group to belong to.
(Realized today that color guard girls really are bouncy. Especially once we take our shoes off.)
_____Nothing too horribly fun planned for the looong weekend, but Easter is good, and tomorrow is a diabetes doctor appointment (which my blood sugar levels desperately calls for) and going to the DI, all the while being in the driver's seat! ...I hate driving.
I'll probably be sick of the long weekend a few days in! So, for now, before you all go off and have a fun time without me, goodnight.

I have to say Guard is definitely not the best group (no offense or anything) but it's woodwinds, then brass, and then I don't really know. But, woodwinds are definitely the best. Just saying... :)
ReplyDeleteI have to say Woodwinds is definitely not the best group (no offense or anything), but it's color guard, then drumline, and then I don't really know...
ReplyDeleteJust kidding :D
Correction: for those who cannot/do not want to play an instrument. We get to make funny faces during comps! What beats that? ;)
yeah... but, I'm sorry to pull this, but, if there was no woodwind/brass, there wouldn't be a marching band, which would mean color guard never would have been thought up, which means color guard is around thanks to the woodwind/brass people. Which shows that woodwind, brass, and drumline are best... no offense or anything, but, that's the way the cookie crumbles
ReplyDeleteHahahahaha :D
ReplyDeleteNaaah... color guard would still be around anyhow, because in the military, people need to carry the flags, and naturally, military people like to show off with weapons... whether or not there are woodwinds or brass playing with them. We make things interesting.
I can understand brass and drum line being important to the being of marching band, but... woodwinds? No. DCI doesn't have any woodwinds in their bands, and they're the best. And that's just the way the brownie's bitten. ;)
But the woodwinds add the quite beauty, the wonderful undertone. Color guards as you know it wouldn't exist though. In the military, they are disciplined, and they wouldn't 'show off' their flag skills, there would be no point. And their disciplined... which... yeah, you know what I mean. And that's the way the milk is poured :)
ReplyDeleteOh? You believe we need woodwinds, or any band at all? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1dxTBK7jI1s Is this not disciplined enough for you?
ReplyDeleteJust admit it. You've been beat. And that's just the way the jelly rolls. :)
Nah, I haven't been beat. Your just simply in denial. And that's the way the universe was created :)
ReplyDeleteYet, here I do not see any counterpoints except that I am supposedly wrong. (Plus pet peeve use of "your" ;) ) You're out of excuses, you just won't admit it. But, I will!
ReplyDeleteI hold these truths to be self-evident, that all band sections are created equal, that they are endowed by their Drum Major with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Music, Water, and the pursuit of Awesomeness.
And that is just the way the beat falls. :)
