I got some really good feedback last week regarding my #TBT post, so I decided that I'd throw you guys another one this week. I want you to know that I seriously considered doing another Mizzou throwback because I've been feeling especially nostalgic about my college days, but instead, I'm going back even further. Today, my friends, you get to re-live my high school color guard days.
Not many understand what color guard is by my definition. When most think color guard, they think military, and that is not what I speak of in this instance. Color guard at Truman High School was actually flag corp. We danced, spun flag and rifle, wore full hair and makeup, and were part of the marching band.
During my time in color guard, I:
- Marched 3 seasons with the band
- Competed in 3 seasons of indoor Winterguard competition
- Spent time with my best friends
- Met great new people
- Attended Bands Alive! marching camp at Missouri State
- Was a captain my senior year
- Traveled to Seattle/Mt. Rushmore my sophomore year
- Traveled to Hawaii my senior year
These memories don't account for the numerous hours of band camp, early morning practice, or Friday night football games. It was the best of times... it was the worst of times... but I'm so glad it was part of my "times."
Love this!
