Jazz Run
This is in reference to one way that the colorguard gets from point A to point B. It is running with pointed toes and as minimal head bobbing as possible. When the right foot is out, the left arm is out, and vice versa.
Stir Toss
This is the most basic toss. It starts at a right slam. Right hand at the tab and left hand is at the bottom cheater, both thumbs pointed to the bottom butt. Counts one and two are the same as the last two counts of a cone. You bring the flag in front and silk angled down at count one and then pass your left and back to a right slam at count two. From there, you continue the motion, bringing your right hand up and your left hand down. On the “and” of two (halfway between count two and three), you let go of the flag. You should let go when your right hand is near your ear. You should be able to slap your left thigh with your left hand. You should catch the flag with both hands at once in the same position you started in on count three.
Butt Toss
You start this intermediate toss at a left flat. Your right hand is at the tab. Left hand stripped the flag up to the top butt. You start a throw away. After your arm is outstretched, you dip the flag behind you and rotate it until it's back to completely outstretched. Then you dip the flag in front of you. When it is near your chest (pole pointed up), you bring your right arm up, bent at the elbow. Your hand is open and palm up and you put the pole between your thumb and index finger. From here, you roll the pole into your right hand and let go with your left. As you're grabbing it, you bring your right hand down and back up, making a J in the air. When your right hand is slightly above your head, you let go. You catch this toss at either a right slam or with the silk pointed straight down.
Crane Toss
This is a basic toss, but one of the more challenging ones. You start at a right slam with your thumbs pointed to the bottom butt. You bring your right arm up and a bit forward. Your left hand should come behind your head. You should end up in a position where you left hand is at the bottom cheater right behind your neck and your right hand is stretched up at the tab, both thumbs pointed down. From there, your right arm goes to the left and down and your left hand goes to the right side and up. Continuing in these directions, you end up in the same position you started in. You bring your left down and your right up. You let go with your left hand and your right should be level with your forehead. You also your left thigh and your right hand releases the flag. You catch at a right slam.
Parallel Toss
Also known as a horizontal toss. You start this toss in the same position as count two of a half out (pole behind you, silk to your right, flag parallel to ground). You rotate your arm in front of you and then bend your arm towards your head. When your hand is level with your head, you release the flag. During this whole process, you keep the flag parallel with the ground. You catch the flag at a right flat.
Release Point
For a toss, the location of the hand that releases the equipment as it is releasing it.
Single / Double / Triple / Quad
This is a word that is in reference to the number of rotations in a toss.
Toss
A complete release of the equipment.
Throw Away
This is a two count move. You start at a right flat. You begin to extend your left arm up. At the same time, you extend your right up and slightly to the left. Your right hand lets go when the flag is level with your head. You extend your left arm and, when the silk is pointed up, you're at count one. From there, you rotate the flag so that the silk points the left side and then down. You come back to a right flat on count two.
Thumb Flip
This is a 2 count move where you roll the flag over your knuckles. The flag starts in your right hand, hand at the tab with your thumb pointed to the pole. You bring the silk past your right side to point down. On count one, the silk should be pointed down. You keep rotating in the same direction. On the “and” of one (halfway between counts one and two) you let go of the flag and let it roll across your knuckles. On count two, you grab the flag again at the tab.
Hail Mary
This is a basic move. One set takes four counts. It starts at either a right flat or a left flat. From a right flat, you slide your right hand to the bottom cheater. Your left arm fully extends and your right arm follows. With the flag fully extended above you, this is count one. Then, you keep your right hand at the bottom cheater. You slide your left hand to the tab and bring the flag to a left flat. From there, you slide your left hand back down to the bottom cheater and extend your arms. Fully extended above your head, this is count three. Then your left hand stays at the bottom cheater and you slide your right hand to the tab. You bring the flag to a right flat on count four.
Moth
This is an intermediate move that takes up eight counts. You start with the flag in your right hand. Your right hand is at the tape with your thumb to the pole. You rotate the flag until your thumb is pointed up. When the silk is pointed down, that is count one. You continue to rotate in the same direction until the silk is pointed up again. The pole should be near your elbow. This is count two. You bring your elbow out and the pole behind you. Then you bring the silk down. That's count three. You rotate in the same direction until the silk is pointed up, which is count four. You continue to rotate the flag until the silk is pointed down. As you're rotating it, you bring it behind your back. You grab it with your left hand at the tab with your thumb to the pole. This is count five. Your right hand lets go and your left hand continues the rotation. Count six is when the flag is behind you and the silk is pointed up. You continue the rotation and bring your left arm out. On count seven, the flag should be to your left, silk pointed down. Continue rotating, bringing the flag up and in front of you. You grab it in a left slam on count eight.
Butterfly
This is one of the more challenging basic moves. It takes up eight counts. The first three counts are the same as the first three counts of a flourish, except you bring your left arm up as you’re bringing your right arm up. Then, you continue to rotate the flag like in a flourish, but you keep it behind your head. When it is pointed up again, this is count four. You start to rotate it to go back down again, and you grab the pole at the tab with your left hand. Both thumbs should be pointed to the silk. Count five is when both hands are at the tab and the silk is pointed down. You then let go with your right hand. You continue to rotate it in the same direction and stretch your left arm up. When your arm is completely out and the silk is pointed up, the pole should be close to your body and this is count six. You bring your arm to the left and down and it should be pointed down and at an angle on count seven. You then let the silk pass your right side and bring it back in front of you. From here, you can grab it with the right had at the tab. Grabbing it again, the flag should be pointed up. When it is perpendicular with the ground, this is count eight.
Side Spins
This is a basic move. A set takes up four counts, but it is usually done in successive sets. It is commonly done right handed. You start with your right hand at the tab with your thumb pointed to the pole. You bring the flag over to your left side and rotate it forward until it points down. This is count one. You continue rotating in the same direction and when it comes back up, this is count two. The pole should be near your elbow. Then you bring your arm to your right side with the pole still in your elbow. You rotate forward again and when it’s pointed down, that’s count three. And finally, you continue to rotate until it’s pointing up again and that is count four.
Genie
This is one of the more challenging basic moves. It is an 8 count move commonly done right handed and it can start from most positions. Right hand at the tab, thumb pointed to the silk, and left hand at the bottom cheater, also pointed to the silk. You dig the silk to your left side and behind you. Your right arm should cross the left and somewhat tuck the left under your arm. When the silk is pointed down and behind you, you should be at count one. You uncross your arms, by bringing the right hand up. Count two is when the flag is to your left side and nearly perpendicular with the ground with the silk pointed up. From there, you bring your right hand down and left up. Count three should be silk pointed down. Then pass your right side and bring the flag up. When it is perpendicular with the ground with the silk up, you are at count four. You tuck your left arm close to your right side and sweep the left and point the silk down. This should be count five. You bring the silk past your right and up. When it is perpendicular to the ground with the silk up, this is count six. From here, you bring the silk behind you, pointing it left and then down. When it’s down, you’re at count seven. Then you bring the silk past your right side and up. When it’s pointed up, you’re at count eight.
Pull Hits
This move is like a mini toss. It is two counts and it can be done starting from a right slam or with the flag perpendicular to the ground, silk pointed down. It is commonly done right handed. Right hand at the tab, thumb pointed to the pole, and left hand at the bottom cheater, thumb pointed to the bottom butt. It is also a very snappy move. From whichever position you start in, you bring your right hand up and bring your left hand down. Your right hand should be near your right shoulder and your left hand near your hip. On count one, you should let go with both hands, right hand releasing near your shoulder and your left hand releasing and smacking your thigh. It should do one full rotation and you grab again with both hands on count two in the same position you started in.
Cones
This is a basic four count move. It should be smooth and fluid. It can be started from any position and can be done with either hand, but it is commonly done right handed from right shoulder or a right slam with your left hand on the bottom cheater and your right, thumb pointed towards the silk. To get to count one, you pass by your right side and bring the flag in front of you. Count one, the flag should be in front of you, silk angled away from you with the bottom butt near your stomach. Then you pass your right side and bring the silk behind you. At count two, the flag should be angled behind your head. Your right hand should be near your forehead and your left hand should be extended. From here, you rotate the flag to the right, it should be parallel with the ground. Continue rotating until the silk is pointed down. Count three is silk angled, pointed down and away. Your left hand should be near your forehead and your right should be extended. From there, you pass your left side, bring it in front of you, and bring it to a right slam. Count four is when you should get to the right slam.
