I want to join the flag twirlers team. Sorry, i cant remembe exactly what it is called, but i know that it starts with a "c."
I just wanted to know if they were considered like unpopular, or are they more like cheerleaders?
Also, is it hard to be a flag twirler?
uisforukelele answered Tuesday June 6 2006, 10:35 pm: it's called color guard (but other people have told you that). at our high school, we are a military marching band, not a corps band. we have an auxiliary line which consists of baton twirlers and flag twirlers. when marching, they kind of lead the band, but not as much as a drum major, who is normally a twirler as well. the auxiliary line isn't quite the same as cheerleaders at my school, but they definitely have more talent! they are normally friends with everybody and sort of popular because they are always involved with school activities (it's a rule that they have to be to maintain their status on the line) and stuff like that. as far as the difficulty level... it's hard to say. i've tried baton twirling and flag twirling, but it's not my forte because i'm not a dancer. if you have ever taken a dance class in your life, you should be able to do it. all it takes is practice. you might want to call a member of the color guard at your school and see if they can give you private lessons. that's how all my friends learned how to twirl a flag/baton. but beware, it takes a lot... and i mean A LOT of hard work. the schedule in marching season for twirlers consists of: monday practice, monday night marching practice, tuesday practice, thursday practice, friday pep rallies, friday football games. it's a lot of work, but if you set your mind to it, you'll have no problem on the color guard.

When I was in school, (I've been homeschooled since Jan.) they were kinda like cheerleaders.
Its very hard to be in color guard, I was my freshman year, and it was hell. Long hard practices, and they flags weigh a couple pounds. And the guns are pretty hard also. But with a lot of hard work and practice you can get it done! :D

clearlypink428 answered Tuesday June 6 2006, 5:57 pm: its called color guard. and no, it doesnt really strike me as being an unpopular thing. but even if it did, why would you let that stop you from doing it?- itsounds like something you want to do, so go for it. my older sister was on the color guard team at our old high school, and she loved it. they do fairly easy routines to learn and they mostly do them to music thats popular. i always liked watchin them at football games bacause its so much more different than watching a bunch of cheerleaders. i remember her tellnig me it took alot of practice though. (outdoor practice, of course) but she loved it, and im sure you will. good luck, hon! [ clearlypink428's advice column | Ask clearlypink428 A Question ]
