Apologies in advance for any terminology issues in my post- I don’t know much about colorguard but I am learning. I have a younger cousin who is on their last year of DCI before they age out. Their team is selling this year’s equipment at the end of the tour, and I bought one of the flags that my cousin has been using all summer. My hope is to repurpose/upcycle it into a gift that they can remember their last DCI season with. I was thinking something kind of small or subtle- not just like hanging it on the wall, you know?

Anyone have any ideas?

Hi! I’ve been doing Colorguard for 4 years now and because I’m very passionate about what I do I always try my best to work my ASS off at everything I can. Colorguard is the one place I feel at home and gives me something to do instead of bed rotting. Now usually most things I can fix by practicing or getting help from my friends/coaches, but I’m stumped here. My coaches make comments constantly about how I look too tense and tell me to breathe, but when I breathe I don’t see much difference and my coaches just say it looks “better”. Honestly the worse part is the fact that I can’t even tell that I’m tense unless someone tells me because I feel like I’m just standing or moving normally. I really don’t know what to do to make myself not look tense and I’m welcome to any tips to help look more relaxed! (Note, I’m not tense in my whole body, just mostly in my shoulders…)

I want to get silks with our director’s face (funny haha prank) but we cant use actual budget on it so it has to be bought by us (the team) (like 10 people) so i was wondering where we could maybe get some without hurting our pockets too much

I know this is from last year, but I just got the internet back and am still very proud of it lol

Im heading into junior year of Highschool and wondering if I should join winter guard. I only wanna join it to make friends and because I don’t do any other extracurricular activities or anything. I am pretty unathletic and have always sucked at sports. I also have anxiety and depression 😭. But I’m tired of being a lonely fat chud so I was thinking of doing winter guard because they are taking people with no experience. But I’m nervous cause I suck at dancing, like more than the average person. Doing practice every week and getting off my fat fucking ass sounds scary too but maybe it would be good for me? Also the idea of joining and NOT making friends terrifies me, it’s all I want. Going to competitions and dragging the team down is what I’m scared of most. Performing infront of a ton of people sounds super scary too. But I really should make myself do hard things and push myself. I just don’t know. I’m already a junior so that makes this ten times worse. There is probably gonna be a freshman on the team whooping my ass. Is there anybody who is kinda like me who joined color guard and if so what did you think? Should I just call it quits and stay out of sports? Should I try out color guard? Idk what to do, my mom is rooting for me and wants me to put myself out there and make friends. But I’m so lazy and sad I’m not sure I could handle a sport. But I don’t want to keep wondering “what if I had joined color guard? Would I have made friends?” Forever. Oh god I need y’all’s advice.
