I've decided to try out for my colorguard(spinning flags, rifles, sabres, ect.) captian tryouts. I'm going to try out for flag captian and I've already picked out my music so does anyone have any tips on how to make an awesome show or any awesome moves I can include in it?

idk what your school does, but im on our colorguard squad and we put in hip hop dance moves to spice up our routines a little. a couple tips...1) when you are at flat, make sure that your flag is completely flat/parallel to the ground. 2) keep your military bearing....you should stick your chin up towards the ceiling high enough that you can make an L with your fingers from the center of your collar bone to your chin. 3) Don't be shy! be a leader. a shy leader won't make a great leader. 4) make sure you know what your doing...if not, make it up....they will never know :)....lastly i would suggest throwing the flag up in the air for a little flare. good luck!

I would definitely get with someone prior to the audition and work on equipment skills. You would be ahead of the game as well if you took some dance classes at a local dance studio. There are two main elements to guard - equipment and movement. The equipment skills will definitely be taught, but the dance element is something that takes a little more time to develop. I would also check with your local drum corps - if there is a division 2 or 3 corps that needs colorguard members. Sometimes they are willing to take students that haven't spun before. Also - the larger corps in the area often do community workshops for students in the area for a fee. I don't think you'll have a disadvantage - if anything it's an advantage being a sophomore. You'll be more of an asset to the group!

the moves that i remember from drill team as commander would not be able to be described on this format the best I can say is practice until whatever it is you do is razor blade sharp and as clean and precise as you can get them, keep your shoulders back and a confident look on your face at all times good luck and kick ***
