Color Guard is sooo not like cheerleading!!!! its actually harder!!!!! you have to be graceful like a ballerina, tough and strong like a lieutenant, and be in pain!!! especially if you get hit with flags sabers and rifles!!!! trust me guard members are not cheer leader wanna bes. plus in my oppinion guard is way harder then cheerleading.

listen chica.... color guard isnt wannabe cheer squad, it takes a lot more skill and a lot more clothes. you need hand eye coordination and rhythm and color guard is really cool looking from the audience while cheerleading is screaming half naked chicks with pompoms and doesnt look near as awesome. Kudos for switching and dont let people get you down

Personally, I say to just do what you like and be proud of it. I do a ton of different activities, some of which other people think are weird. I always get weird looks when i tell people that I'm in tumbling. But I absolutely love it, and that's all that matters to me. If you like colorguard, just stay with it and ignore other people who tell you that it's dumb. If it makes you happy, it's great!

mluver17 on 12/23/2008 6:55:58 PM
i wouldnt worry about what other people think just do what you want to they are probably jealous anyway!
Ms.EdwardCullen101 on 12/23/2008 5:57:16 PM
jaymedw, you are stupid. get over yourself. in my three years in high school i have never seen my school chose a cheerleader as homecoming or prom queen. however, one of our homecoming queens was a color guard member, and two of our prom queens were. so get off your little dream cloud and bite me.

Listen: Color Guard is cool. I'm in marching band, and it's sad because a lot of the band don't like the color guard because their popular and cool. but let me tell you that cheerleaders at my school have little to no meaning for us. they run around trying to be cool, and not doing much. i'm a junior in high school, and my sophomore year, one of our guard girls was chosen as homecoming queen. people are probably just jealous. the color guard at my school gets a lot more recognition at my school than the cheerleaders, because we are a top class band that wins all the time. and our color guard gets their fair share of awards. and they have to practice and work 10 times more than our cheerleaders, because their actually good. push your color guard to be the best. people will respect you and your decision way more. maybe you can work in some super difficult cheerleading stuff in and show those snotty little girls who's boss. but whatever happens, have confidince in your decision and don't worry about other people.
tbird2010 on 12/23/2008 3:41:47 PM
ok i would love to say that color guard is the best thing i have ever done in my life and they are some of the best people you will know so don't listen to the people at your school believe me you will have better memories with this then cheerleading and dont be ashamed since secretly everone think guard is cooler

MOD Hey girl! I have a fashion hair-related Q for you. Right now I have *a little longer than* shoulder-length, dark blonde hair with medium length side-bangs. I got it permed so it was wavy/curly last spring. The perm is nearly gone, so I want to change up my look. I really liked my hair wavy (plus, it was super easy to style!) but I want to change something. I was thinking more/long bangs, layers or cutting it shorter, maybe even not re-perming it. What should I do, or how can I make this decision?
voicememos on 12/20/2008 4:03:52 PM
I do color gaurd, and I enjoy it. I have had color gaurd in my genes ever since I was like 6- and I am almost 13 now. I really love it; and can't wait till we have our first competetion. All the girls are sorta slow though, and I am ahead of everyone; so I am also thinking about quitting. I am sticking to my real sport- soccer.
peytonroxx24 on 12/20/2008 3:52:17 PM
ignore the people who calls you a wannabe, if you like being in the color guard, then be in the color guard and don' t care about what others think!
bunhead007 on 12/20/2008 2:06:32 PM
I did color guard and it was really fun. Don't let other people dictate your choices. Just do what you want to do.
dramaqueen531 on 12/20/2008 1:44:14 PM
MOD ever since I was 6 I wanted to act, but I never could, we were always kinda short on money to pay for acting lessons. There is a role I want to try out for in the upcoming movie New Moon. (Jane or another person I'm not going to say) anyways do u think I should send in a picture and a resamay? If i decide to, how should I ask my parents?

Be proud of who u are. they're just jealous. Color guard is so cool! so is cheerleading, so do what you like!
bandgirl on 12/19/2008 7:26:20 PM
if people are saying stuff like that about you Color Guard girls, then i think they are trying to make themselves sound cool... they are not worth worrying about they are "wanna be" populars, just ignore them. do what you want to, dont listen to them, and find a group of friends that support you and what you do! addie
i<3ben1486 on 12/19/2008 4:31:21 PM
***singer4evr1494*** your so right. colorguard is probably one of the hardest and best experiences you could ever have, and not many people know that. i just finished my first year of marching band, (i'm a freshman) and it has A LOT of hard that gets put into it, but it was so worth it for all the competitions and football games. you meet a lot of new people, and it really makes you proud of what you do. people think its so easy, and that anyone can do it, when they're actually wrong. it took me MONTHS before i finally got the hang of everything. its sucha great experience, and i know this is something i'm gonna do for the rest of high school.
xX♥jonas♥brothers♥Xx on 12/19/2008 3:19:58 PM
*****jaymedw***** hey, the comment you made on the colorguard advice, not cool. i'm in colorguard and we're def not geeks. in my high school, we love what we do and are against anyone who hates us and thinks we're "geeks". marching band is actually really awesome believe it or not. and the cheerleaders arent always all that. some of them are nice, but rarely, and in my school pretty much every single one of them is fake and stuck up. watch what you say next time. some of us are in colorguard, and we dont go around calling people "geeks" just because of something they do.
xX♥jonas♥brothers♥Xx on 12/19/2008 3:11:09 PM
If people know ur a really good cheerleader, then don't let the color guard talk get in your way of doing wat u like. ;)
fieldhockjock on 12/19/2008 1:13:01 PM
jaymedw,how do U know who's geeky and who isn't?who are u 2 decide that??????really gurl,kewl down.yeesh.
girlytomboy22 on 12/19/2008 12:42:28 PM
just tell everyone that you were a cheerleader, and you just wanted to do something different. and if you wante to be a cheerleader this year, you would have joined the squad, so basically, you're not a wanna-be.

I don't like cheerleading at all.No offense.In my school it's like you have to be a cheerleader to be popular.I'm proud to be myself and walk off with my friends who actually care about me. And you should continue colorguard if you enjoy it then do it,don't let other opinions hurt you .You're not them you are yourself!

well i must say that this conversation has changed so much from the original topic which is very disappointing. I am a sophomore on colorguard. This is my 2nd year. Last year, my team won state champions in winterguard season and it was the first time ever. it was such a great experience as a freshman and when sophomore year rolled around...everything changed. things didn't seem to go well and it was very disappointing, but i realized that if i quit i would lose a big group of my friends. friends that would give me advice about anything, that i laughed until i cried with, that i had a class with every morning, spent most of my weekends with, they were my life. and when i was told that i had to quit to take voice lessons it was heart breaking to me. it was the hardest decision i ever had to make. yet, somehow things didn't let me quit. my counselor wasn't there, i got sick, and finally my band director told me i couldn't quit for certain obligations i had made. i realized then that i was meant to stay on guard. it is such a great experience and so much fun. no one can tell you what to do and you can't let people boss you around like that. stand up for what you want. it's your life.

i'm on my flag team and winterguard team at my school, which is very similar to colorguard. we are NOT wanna be cheerleaders, because the two are not linked in any way. we fly flags because we love to do it. so don't let anyone discourage you from being in colorguard. its great.

YOU WROTE IT
It was a strange scent, faintly familiar, like the perfume my mother used to wear. The aroma lingered around me, smelling like dried sunflowers and a soft touch of the new spring air.
