A group of highly talented teenage
girls. They must be able to
dance, spin various pieces of equipment, hold their head up and portray emotion, and
march in
time, and pretend that its not negative 100 degress outside. It is the colorguard's job to bring life to a piece of music. They must be able to use their bodies, along with their equipment, to give the music a personality. Contrary to popular belief, they are not the rejects of the Cheerleader, the dance team, ext. Any guard girl could stand in front of a crowd and scream "Go Team Go!" however I really doubt a cheerleader could pick up a rifle, throw a quad, and catch it, all while holding your head
high and portraying the emotion of the show. Many members of the
band/drumline like to blame the colorguard when the band/drumline does
bad, however, it is usually not their fault. I say usually because every group, band, colorguard, && drumline,
will have a
bad show sometime. Putting that aside though, it is the colorguard's ability to come back from a
bad show and be 10X fiercer then last week that makes them so freakin' ah-mazing. Never try to understand a conversation between guard
girls. Being in a colorguard mean developing the best friendships ever and therefore, many inside jokes that you
will never understand. In conclusion, colorguard is ah-mazing && anyone who gets on here and says they aren't should just go ahead and go have sexual intercourse with themselves, mkay? No, really, just do it!
