So I wish you the best this weekend!

Hope everything goes well this weekend at districts. While you guys are having a blast with your marching show, the staff is getting prepared for the next step of this colorguard's success... the winter season.

Although it's not our focus right now, we have talked about it and really would like for all of you to get invloved. Sure it's early, but it's time to get modivated and love what you do. The Videos I found for you are just some quick commercals of the Winter Guard International Program... something I am highly invloved in and want to share with you. Please enjoy this video and remember how great of a chance you have to be in a community of guard members around the state who love the sport just as much as we all do.

Love Ashley

Hello BRCG!

Heyy Guard!
--->> This is my frist post. Kinda excited. I wonder how many of you are going to read this

So here's the deal.
The seasons almost over... and I know you have all been working your butts off and I wanted to thank you all for your hard work. I think this whole performace thing isn't easy so please know your hard work does not go unnoticed. I wanted to share with you this fantastic video I've watched hundreds of times of a group called BLAST! If you never heard of them, they are a professional team consisiting of a small horn line, drum line, and color guard who tour all over the world performing. They are were the best of the best when they marched drum corps the last few years.

This video is from their tour 2 years ago, the song is called "Malaguena" and it's a firce, strong, and brilliant performace. They also include red swing flags and weapons in the color guard so I would love for everyone to watch how they give off an attitude with they perform. It's something we are lacking on but I have faith we can work on it. Please take a few moments of your time to watch this. I know you will not be disappointed.

Thank you.
Love Ashley

Inspiration

Watch how much energy is in each of their practices. They have very demanding work but still keep their energy and put everything into it in practice!



This is a Mia Michaels class. Even though they had all just learned this routine and weren't sure of every more they put their whole bodies into it. They extended and used all their muscles. This is what we need to see in that opening dance work and what we're going to put in the ballad! Practice it at home! :)



We're going to have more posts so keep checking!!!

Mandatory wednesday practice!!!

via Jordyn:

Mr. Carrier would like to have a guard rehearsal this wednesday, October 14th, from 2pm to 5pm. We will be working with Mr. Kerstin, and will be improving segments of the show. this rehearsal is very vital, and obviously needed. Mr. Carrier wants the majority, if not ALL of the color guard there. we will be having dinner after the rehearsal at Hungry Howies at 5:15. Please spread the word, as i also will be tomorow at school. Please please please do everything you can do to be at this rehearsal. its very important, and we dont want to waste Mr. Kerstins or Mr. Carrier's time. you can do your homework before or after rehearsal, as the Hungry Howies dinner is not mandatory. Thank you guard! Tell all the rest of the guard. Thank you!!
