Next year, when I'm in 9th grade, I want to join color guard. The thing is I have no experience at all.I have a good figure, but at times I'm kinda clumsy and I'm afraid I will drop the riffel or something. Also, it takes me a little bit longer to learn a routine than most people because I have never done dance or anything of the sort.
Does anyone have any suggestions that will help me be more cordinatted? (sp)Thanks!! (link)

Hi!
So, I'm a senior, and was my school's colorguard captain this year.
Lemme just tell you a few things:
I wasn't in marching my freshman year; I started in sophomore year.
I was clumsy, and at the beginning, using a flag made no sense at all to me.
I was terribly shy.
But I got through it, and am going to be marching in college next year.
What I'd like you to know is that everyone is a freshman at some point, and the girls will be happy to help you. However, if you're still nervous, look to see if your high school has a camp/clinic this summer, and see if there's somewhere you can practice during the fall where you can SEE YOURSELF. Best would be a reflective door you could practice a few feet from outside.
In my experience, you need to know how you look during a routine to feel really confident about it.
The only other advice I can give you is to learn the basics that you will be taught next year well.
And of course, go for it. Colorguard is a great experience.
