Color guard is the visual and the non musical part of a marching band show. Color guard consists of spinning either a three and one half pound rifle or a five and one half foot flag outside, striving for perfection and consistency. The season starts in the summer and is continued through the fall (football season). The enduring practices and heat makes it difficult for some people to give it their all, but at the same time it also helps you to push yourself. If someone does not wish to commit or be the best that they can, they will not survive in marching band color guard. During marching competition the color guard performs the show that they performed during the season and the guard gets judged based on their performance with the band. Also before and after the marching band puts on their show the guard sits in the stands with the band and dances with the band as they play different songs.…
I am writing concerning Tripp Moore, whom I have come to know throughout my years as the Flomaton High School “Hurricane” Marching Band drumline instructor. As Tripp’s instructor, it was a pleasure to get to know him. Tripp has been a great student of mine and it has been my pleasure of being able to teach him. He has some great qualities of a human being and qualities that you would love to see in a leader. Tripp’s hard work and his dedication to music helped him as he joined band and made awesome strides to be on the best percussionist. Tripp also dedicates his time to being a part of the Flomaton High School Jazz Band, and being the drummer at his church First Baptist Church of Flomaton, Alabama. Tripp will one day be a great leader in his…
The traditional color guard held the national flag and marched into battle with soldiers, along with a drummer or a few drummers to keep all the soldiers in step as they marched. As marching bands became more known, the color guard added the "dance" to the music that the band was playing. Now, it has turned into a known sport called "The Sport of Arts".…
It’s advisable to have a few uniforms so they can be washed regularly to avoid the build up of body odors also so it doesn’t get too worn. Your uniform should be a good length so that you’re comfortable to move around (it’s suggested to get a size bigger), and should always be cleans and pressed. Your shoes should…
The color guard put together their own routines that were performed at the parade and at football games. “It was very hot outside, but I enjoyed doing the color guard routines,” said Junior Caitlyn Bartholomew, Color Guard member.…
An issue that is often debated is whether or not sports uniforms worn by women purposefully lead to sexual harassment. Looking at all evidence, my claim is that women’s sports uniforms do not purposefully lead to sexual harassment, due to the fact that uniforms for every sports, including women’s, are made in specific ways. They are made in these ways for maximum movement and flexibility, for sex appeal, and to keep up with cultural norms. All of these reasons come from a variety of sports.…
They help make the band look even more beautiful and are also known as the auxiliary. But it’s really more than that. Color guard is a true test to physical strength and ability and it’s where I spend every waking hour trying to improve each toss, turn, and count. Color guard is where two, almost three dozen girls spend most of our free time practicing something that will not get us a job. It won’t pay us in anything but joy. And as cliché as that sounds, it’s true. Color guard will probably never give us more than thousands upon millions of life lessons. Yet, we all still do it because we love it. Color guard is striving to be the best you can be. It’s socializing with some people you can’t stand half the time because somehow they became like family and mean more than the world to you. It’s sacrificing so many Fridays to do what you love, and it’s sacrificing your face and hair to tons of hairspray and glitter so you can stand out on a field and make the band look just as beautiful as they…
baggy, and they had high goth like boots except withut the buckles, andthere top had a swastika on one of the sleeves. The German uniforms varied in color and style. By…
Tennis and marching band are two extracurricular activities that require both dedication and commitment. Prior to entering my first year of high school, I decided that I wanted to take my love for tennis to the next level and make the O’Fallon high school tennis team. In 5th grade, I committed myself to playing the alto saxophone in the school band and all that entails with lessons and practice, with an eye on playing in the high school marching band. During high school, I made a commitment to participate in the Rose Bowl Parade in California. After making that decision, I found out I made the tennis team. Practicing both these activities in the summer and playing during the fall semester put me at odds with my parents on what should come first tennis or band. The amount of time needed for both activities to succeed was monumental and would be an uphill battle compared to the actual time I had. This caused internal conflict knowing that one will not get as much attention as the other. At that moment, I decided to come up with a solution to my problem then put it into action. One way or another I had developed two answers. I realized to become good at band and tennis something had to change.…
In the army there are many uniforms a soldier has to wear. This is for the different activities a soldier does. For everything from their daily Physical Training (PT), their regular working uniform Army Combat Uniform (ACU), or their dress uniform either the Army Service Uniform (ASU), or the Army Green Service Uniform (Class A). Each uniform is design to fit a specific task and to be worn a in certain way. A great resource for either the ASU or the Class A is the “U.S. ARMY UNIFORM GUIDE.” I found this little book a great resource because it shows every form of the ASU for both males and females soldiers, for officers and enlisted. I found this to be great because it shows where everything goes, and how to measure everything, and for a new soldier like me it is important to have the little things right.…
In high school, the only sport-like activity I participated in was color guard in the marching band, mostly because it consumed all of my time. We have tryouts and we start preparing in March and throughout the summer for competitions starting in September. It’s an immense commitment and I believe that you really have to love it, and I did.…
As I slide my hands into my marching band gloves, I notice details that I ignored during the 4 years I was in Eastern Regional High School. The gloves are white and made of cotton. First, I focus on my wrist. A Velcro strap, surrounding my wrist, fastens the opening. As I stroke the palms of my gloves, I notice the fabric has tiny bumps to create friction and allow for a secure grip.…

For regular everyday wear regardless of what uniform a female is in, there are still a few rules that are the same all across. One of them is that females should make sure that their hair is neatly put up without any straggles of hair sticking out. If they have short hair, they must make sure that the bottom part of their hair cannot touch the bottom part of the collar. When using pins and hair bands, or any item that is needed to put a females’ hair in order, you must take in consideration its appearance as well. You must make sure that it is not any other color but black or brown and it does not have any adornments.…
From the 16th century, students (especially of secondary or grammar schools and similar institutions) were often subject to regulations that prescribed, for example, modest and not too stylish attire. In many cases these regulations were part of wider laws concerning the clothing of all citizens of certain social classes.…
