In other somewhat related news, there may not be a winter guard next year. (Yes, by my choosing.) Instead, we may join with the winter drumline and compete together. I was discussing color guard items with the band director when one of the drumline instructors popped in and said to join them. Benefits of being one giant team:
- We'd be one giant team
- More visual for the drumline
- More awesome music for the guard
- Lower fees all around
- More social interactions for the student
- Awesome combination of staff
Next step: get through summer and fall seasons. :)
Actually, next step is fit into one of the high school uniforms. The assistant band director, Kirsten, and I are going to be performing in the Springville parade this Saturday with the two members of my nine member guard who will be there. Want a good laugh? Come watch!
I taught Guard at Lehi High for a season and only had 5-10 (I can't remember but I ended the season with 3) girls and I marched with them for 2 of the 3 summer parades because numbers were so small. I'm sure no one even noticed that a 19 year old was leading the colorguard.
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty excited, actually. I think it's going to be pretty funny. 2 high school girls with 2 married girls... one of which is a mom!
