You know you're in color guard when…
When without thinking you know "one more time!" is just a lie to make you work harder
It's a fact that winter season is the best
That rifle is for spinning and not killing
That it is not impossible to have 20 girls fit into one bathroom
That 'rain or shine' really means rain or shine
Sun screen is your friend
That only perfect practice, makes perfect
You will get hit
Bruises are a part of life
Make sure you put sun screen on your face before putting on sun glasses (raccoon eyes… lol…)
You name your bruises
You have no life because the practices take up your time
You're excited to go to practice
The football field is the marching field
The school gym is your second home in the winter
You couldn't imagine your life without guard and the thought of it scares you
You name your weapons
All of your insides jokes are from guard
You have stormed a shopping mall food court with the ENTIRE guard
You encourage your non-guardie friends to join
You constantly argue that it is a sport
Looking at fabric is suddenly fun
You mark time and tap your foot to the radio
Your guard has a theme song(s) every year
Suddenly you're in love with glittered
It's not weird to have a saber lying around your house
You compare the stains on your gloves with your other guard friends
And win XD.
You remember everyone's names on your guard, but forget your sibling's middle name
When you're bored you search the web for guard related stuff
Whenever listening to music you always picture the show in your head
You've nodded to most of these things and are now nodding and grinning stupidly at your computer
You are now looking around to see if anyone noticed

- you hit the veteran drummers with your flag and don't feel bad

competitions
- Even though you use sunscreen religiously, you will always have a sock tan,
a shorts tan, and a sports bra tan
- before Homecoming, everyone on the guard folds down their tank-tops so they
don't get a strap tan
- running around asking people for "guard tape" is normal
- nobody knows what you mean by guard tape, until you show them your
rifle/saber
- you and your friends have matching bruises from new saber work
- your rifle is named something stupid (for example, Frenzy, Bernie, or Taco)
- your guard instructor doesn't remember anyone's names: she gives everyone
nicknames
- you spin your pencil in class
- your pencil flies out of your hand in class and hits a random kid in the
head
Lol. Reviews are wanted!
