pkit_amyline lol! i'm lovin this!!!! im a graduating senior this year, and i plan on starting a guard club in my college. totally looking forward to it!!! and any advice would be great.
....all your favorite songs have the "perfect rifle/flag/sabre/swing flag" moments.
....you have whole field shows planned out to your favorite songs.
....when you finally have to replace ur light fixture (this hasen't actually happened to my, but i did break a light bulb once).
....when you have guard tape in ur purse, and you actually use it
....when your bandroom ceiling has more pole holes than pencil holes
....when you go to a restarant after a competion and wonder why there's glitter in your food
....when you have a heart attack when you hear the words "NO GLITTER?!?!"(that one was kind of an inside joke for my guard)
....when you laugh at a kid whose lost his tooth because he ran THROUGH your guard while they were practising.
....when you yell at the band to watch out for the flags even though your pretty sure they know by now(but there's always just one.......).
lol, that's about it for now. Dude, I love glitter, but the guard at my school isn't allowed to wear it b/c of some "drama"-crap with the majorettes. (Yes, they are considered separate in our school, though my friends and I could totally double as flags and majorettes.) Anyway... You know you are on guard too long when you're told that you're better than most seniors and all of the juniors, and you're only a sophomore.

....when you can't keep urself from spinning when you see someone else spinning.
....when you can't keep urself from spinning when you see someone else spinning.
(yes, that was meant to be a joke. if you didn't get it, you haven't been in guard long enough. lol.)

~When you can wear a T-shirt to school that says, "Strip it" without getting in trouble.
~When you don't know how many times you've hit yourrself in the funny bone doing something simple like a drop-spin.
~You've come to dread the word, "Again."
~You can live off $7 dollar meals.
~Your favortie drink is now water.
~Your boyfriend has countless brusies.
~You've spun your boyfriend's symbols. xD 2 points.
~Guys spinning flags doesn't bother you.
~You get mad when people tell you it isn't "That hard."
~You can change in a 2x2 space or under a stair way.
True story:
WE were coming home from a football game and right when I was gonna get off the bus I was gonna go eat, and I wasn't ABOUT to go eat in my uniform, so, with the trumpets and my band director on the the bus, I striped down to my bra and underware. xD

*You've practiced in the gym, in the auditorium, on the school stairs, on the field hockey field and in the choir room
i do believe you have lost your mind! at our school, the field hockey team is all high-and-mighty and if you even STEP on a CORNER of their field, that's it, you die. (not literally, but you get the point) it's practically illegal. and all these people talking about having one senior? we have six.

At my school the field hockey team loves us... as long as they aren't on the field they really don't mind... it's the football team we have to worry about (even after we let them play on OUR field during our concerts--- how rude! lol)

you know youve been in guard too long when it no longer hurts to get hit with a flag / rifle / sabre...
...when you hate the rest of the guard, but still think color guard is WAY cooler than the band.
...when all of your friends are in band / guard.
all those apply to me too much. ^_^

I've a few to add:
-you're drifting off to sleep, thinking of your work, and you twitch slightly when you reach a toss (or punch your sleeping mate in the face because it was a little more than a twitch *ahem*)
-you spin anything out of habit
-you write your college application essay on Guard, which is simply a refined version of your Guard senior speech *is completely guilty*
-your refer to your weapons as your children
-you can count out any beat to any music
