my first high school marching season, I experienced the long lasting abilities of glitter

it’s fitting that in my first college winter season, I am once again dealing with permanent glitter in my hair

#i was so excited for championships i didn’t even think about why i shouldn’t put glitter in my hair lol #oh well it’s a memento i suppose #color guard #winter guard #atlantic indoor association #colorguard #winterguard

(this is gonna be long and probably my last post)

I feel like I've made a couple posts like this, but today I had my final marching band photos and no band season. It's truly settled in and actually become clear that this is it for me in color guard. I think I was still holding on to the possibility for a last minute season that I would grumble about being so last minute but actually be very happy to have. I got to talk with another band senior and reminisce on previous years. I missed the other guard members who didn't show up as I was one of three that did (five didn't). This is gonna sound really dumb, but I don't think I ever thought their would actually be a point where I graduate and leave. I would do it again just to be in the music department for a little longer. I love playing instruments on stage and performing on the field, but there is no space for music in my future. My college does not have a marching band and although I love the violin, I'm not an extraordinary violinist. I just wish I had one last chance to appreciate everything a little more and try just a little bit harder. Alas, no one can plan for a pandemic they don't know is gonna happen.

#sorry this is so sad and sappy and all that #this will probably be my last post #but thanks to all of you other color guard performers for sharing tips and jokes and memories #color guard #colorguard #marching band #marching season #flag #long post #long

literally everytime I do a music project for school, I include a piece from last year's show and maybe I should stop cause I cry everytime

#it is the middle of the school day and i am crying because i miss guard so much #i need to get over it #two months into school and im still crying #color guard #colorguard #marching band #marching season #flag #winter guard #winterguard

found some turf in my bed? where did it come from? this turf stuck to my bag for a whole year just to fall off on my bed now?

#same feeling as when we had to slather glitter in our hair and it wouldnt come out #and seeing glitter on the floor of the guard closet a year after that #color guard #marching band

Marching band is cancelled, so.... here's one of my favorite memories from the previous season.

During a rehearsal when the guard was working separately from the band, the band started doing a call and respond of "Everybody" by the backstreet boys. I just remember being really happy at the moment and it was sorta funny to hear and see cause I don't think the staff had any idea what was going on.

In general, I'm really happy when the band does any call and respond (ex. going to attention, parade rest, even when people say "left, left, left" to get everyone stepping the same) because it's nice to hear everybody and be as loud as we can. It just makes me really happy for no really explainable reason!

Sorry for this post, it's sorta weird, but I'm gonna miss band a ton and am feeling a little bummed. Anyways, if anyone else has any good band moments, feel free to share! I can't respond from this blog tho because it is a side blog...

actually rewind, forget all that. favorite memory was when some of my band went to perform during the joint HS and college performance with UVA, and the UVA band threw hot dogs at us in the stands and then the guard went to get hot chocolate but didn't know where we were (cause it's a giant college stadium) and ended up losing eachother

#10/10 wish i could do again #but i just realized this also is affected by band being cancelled #color guard #colorguard #marching band #flag #marching season

#sorry that ive just started a streak of sad posts #i really came back and just staryed posting sad things #color guard #colorguard #marching band #flag #marching season

My school really said “all sports will be delayed till December, but not marching band, that’s cancelled”.

If they’re going to have football in the spring and cheer as well, why can’t we have marching band too?

#i'm really sad cause marching band has really helped me make friends and be more outgoing over the past years #and it's my senior year now so this is it for me #i mean they said they'll reassess the decision later #but they only said that for mb while giving the okay for everything else so odds aren't favorable...#i really wish the school cared at least a little more about the music programs #color guard #colorguard #i miss color guard so much :(#marching band #Marching season #high school

Recruiting new members is gonna be real hard this year since A) there are no gatherings B) all returning members are seniors and juniors (like none of us really know incoming freshmen) and C) we don't know how to contact incoming freshmen

#we're bout to have only 8 people in guard as compared to 16 in 2018 #big sad #i could just pull up to my neighbors house cause shes an incoming freshman #color guard #colorguard #marching band #marching season #flag
