I hope everyone is have the best veteran's day you ever had because today, I heard one of the most patriotic stories ever!!
this is Villa Rica high school from Villa Rica, GA
One of there colorguard members, Taylor, sent us this
"My name is Taylor and I go to Villa Rica High school in Villa Rica, Georgia. Our show this year was a show about the happiness, heartache, and war of the 60s. It was called 'The age of Aquarius; Decade of the 1960's'. Our first competition was in Alabama. We were in class AAAA and there was only one other band in our class. We performed our show and in the first part we are happy hippies and we dance and have flag work. In the second part we have our sabre line as protesting hippies and they have protesting signs and then we have 6 of 8 girls on our rifle line that are the 'army men' and the other two girls are flower child's that didn't get the memo of the war and we see a fight between the protestors and the army and the two flower child's turn to rifle and we also have flags in the back. In the third part the props we have switch pictures to JFK, his brother and MLK to show the assassinations of them. We also come out with swing flags. In the fourth song we have red flags and more rifle work with our sabre line. After that we pick up portraits of Vietnam veterans and we have the props come together to form the 'Vietnam memorial wall' come up on the props. We also have a mom and a daughter, who has a single white balloon, come out and look at the wall, and then a soldier come out and presents her with a folded flag and the daughter lets go of the balloon. We then come out with streamer flags. This was probably the best performance because when the portraits came out there were 30 veterans in the stands who stood at attention till the end of our show. It was so amazing."
We really thank to Taylor for sending us this sweet moment from her band season. Its so amazing how a band's show can show the upmost respect for veterans and era of war but, also the people who died in them. we are glad to definitely post this on our blog because we want to honor the falling and the living for fighting and joining the army.

and there are many more colorguard things including these items all on etsy.com
Recently, I saw that there are not a lot of facts and statistic about colorguard, so I thought lets search this and lets see what is the truth
here is what I found......
Most colorguard people prefer rifle over sabre and flag because its more challenging than flag and its but its also easier on the hand than sabre.
Also, did you know that more and more men are joining colorguard whether gay or straight and yes, it maybe more gay men but still guys are more involved!!!!!!
this is not helping the stereotype
Also, colorguard is kind of rising thanks to people in colorguard on social networking sites such as punkrockirving and axfranco on Instagram and a wide number of people talking to others about guard and getting the sport of the arts out there.
this is @punkrockirving find him on Instagram
And more dancers are seeing the cool aspect of colorguard and are joining it plus, dance teachers are cooperating with it more in the dance world.
But, we are still not well known in house holds so...... lets start making guard know!!!!!

Some of you may not know this but, winterguard season is near. For most of you it already stared and training has begun, so most you are excited and your amp up for this season. THIS IS WERE WE STOP YOUAND TELL YOU WHATS ABOUT DOWN!!! These are ten things to do for this season (please do not take this in offense because it's meant to be funny)
10. everyone will be doing some kind of sad song- literally, happens every year with almost every single winterguard. Lets spice things up a bit this year like the one song by the spice girls SPICE UP YOUR LIFE!!!! Like this show
9. please have some kind of theme to the show- If I had a show about circus and its called "its a circus", why would I have some reason to put anything but circus theme stuff or have the song not be anything like a circus. In other words, please don't be that one show that has no meaning to its name or to what it actually is about. do like this one
8. Don't just listen to mainstream music- There are many songs other than what's on mainstream, lets all try to find different music for guard
7. DO NOT USE THAT SONG BY ADELE-I KNOW, we all love it and Adele is queen!!!
I mean.............
BUT STILL, LETS NOT!!!!!
6. don't be motionless- I'm sure if you can move yo ur body, you can move your soul!
5. Look beat to the GODS- don't look like this
when you should look like this
5. Full Out Felicia (FOF)- don't waste my time get getting in front of an me and not full out... its embarrassing
4. Don't quit- seriously, don't be wasting everyone's time, money, and recording time on there camera for you to quit
3. Do every performance like its your last- Literally, be your best Beyoncé that you can be because someone is probably already doing it
2. Practice!!!!!!- I think no one can stress this enough, just really truly PRACTICE!!!!!!
And 1. Have FUN- Remember , Its always better when its fun!!
