The levels of coolness associated with saying “I was in a band” vs “I was in band, ” are vastly different.

With the latter obviously being the cooler one

Who would ever guess that a 6 foot pole and a long piece of silk bound by electrical tape would teach me what it means to be express, to share, to truly live.

I was at a winter guard competition today and the weirdest thing happened, there was only one judge, and the only thing judge was the movement. Has this ever happened to anyone else?

Here’s to the performers who have to reuse the same silks every season due to budget cuts. Here’s to the performers who wear either show blacks or cheap homemade costumes every season. Here’s to the performers who have to kill themselves dragging around an old floor that is devastatingly heavy because it’s been painted over so many times due to budget cuts. Here’s to the performers who either don’t have staff or only have staff for half a season before they give up.

Know your guard privilege.

Me: I perform in a colorguard on my free time.

Date: Oh like the flag twirlers?

Me, shoving breadsticks into my purse: Sorry, but I have to go home right now immediately.

Here’s to all the kids who’s parents have never gone to a single game or performance.
