Video is to the right. I'm not sure why it comes up second :)
Watch this video many times. Watch yourself, yourself with the group, and the group as a whole. Here's a list of things to look for. It's a long list, but I want to bring your attention to these problems that Dylan and I have addressed MANY times already! It's time YOU applied them. What can you make better by Saturday when you perform in front of peers in your HOME SCHOOL? This is up to you and you alone on these parts. Dylan and I have already given you information on every point I make here.
In general:
1. SAILS everywhere. This is not unusual. And it needs to stop.
2. Where are you supposed to be looking? Watch each others' faces. Can you tell when they are not looking in the right place?
3. You are to stay in character all the way off the floor. No packing up before you are behind a prop. Watch how you start packing up flags before you are off the floor. Very distracting to the audience.
Now for specific parts of the show:
1. How do we sit and stand in the beginning with the blue flags entering? Do you look graceful or like an Old Woman?
2. The last part of the blue flag feature is not good. Figure out who is right. You know where the flag is supposed to be on 3, 6, and 9.
3. The 2 groups before the zipper, MESS. Yeah, that's all I got. MESS.
4. The 6's and the rotating block have been cleaned thoroughly. It got worse Saturday. Time to stop thinking during that part. It's important.
5. The angle toss is out Tuesday if it isn't being done correctly. We've worked on that as a group for several weeks now and it still isn't good. Watch yours. Is it an angle? Is it high enough? Did you throw it right? This is an open class skill. Is it worth it to you for us to keep it in?
6. Blue Flags during the saber entrance: This is NOT together. Even though it's new, it's easy and it's slow. No excuse. Where is your body supposed to be facing? This is part of why it is dirty.
7. Watch all of your faces during the saber part. You can see individuals flipping their heads from left to right watching each other. This is a Regional A problem. Wow.
8. The gold flag part from the S to the end is just a phasing mess all around. There is a 3 or so count difference from the girls on the left to the girls on the right. Some turn the WRONG direction when we run to the circle even after we talked about that Thursday. Also, watch your free hands under the gold flag toss.
All of these points have been addressed in the past week or two. We can't clean and make other parts better until you decide how to fix the parts Dylan and I thought we AlREADY FIXED!!! We are going to start removing people who can't make the fix. Like Dylan said Saturday, it's nothing personal but you are hurting the group as a whole. And we are running out of time.
Come Tuesday with a fire to make things better. We don't have the gym Thursday. You do the math.

Yah Tisha- she is meaner! Yah!!! I’m sure we are going to be better if you and Dylan kick the crap out of us (no offense anyone) but when we feel like we are in the line of giving up- we do so much better- I really want this guard to be better and beat Glencoe or Centennial or whoever- even if this means for some people to be out of the show for a while, including myself. If someone other than Tisha or Dylan is reading this- I’m going to let you know this (again no offense to anyone) I’M GOING TO F-ING SCREAM if anyone starts talking about something that it’s not related to our show- NO MORE SHAWN!!! NO MORE FARDING DOGS- YOUTUBE- NO MORE!!!! If we want to be better we need to be in rehearsal physical and mentally- please!!! Stop acting like 6 GRADERS! - WE ARE VARSITY!!!! Please! Please! Please! I don’t want to see anyone cry anymore- I know you feel frustrated- but crying it’s not going to make our show better- rehearsal will- and you putting everything you got In it- please- I know you have homework/ jobs/chores to do- but please- do this for yourselves, for Tisha, for Dylan- for Dave- for the color guard!!!!!! Do you really want to have a bad show at Tigard??? I don’t! I want everyone’s families, friends, teachers, etc to sat: WOW I NEVER KNEW COLOR GUARD COULD BE SO AMAZING! So again…. NO MORE CRAP OR SHAWN OR TWILIGHT OR ANYTHING- WE CAN DO THAT WHEN WE GET BETTER- AND BY THIS I MEAN BETTER IN A COMPETITION AND A REHEARSL! Please!

Ps: you can yell at me if I start talking about something other than our show!!! I’m not trying to be a bitch or tell you that I’m better than you- because I’m not- I just want US to be better and be together in the good and bad times- we are like family- remember that!
p.s #2: sorry if I’m acting like a bitch- but we( you guys and me) to get better
Agreed...I want to kick ass at our show.
OK girls, we have one week til our home show and 3 weeks til Championships. Get fired up!
amen :)
I agree with arely.
Before every run I ask myself, and some others, "what are we going to do?" my respone (and others) is "we are going to own."
I'm ready, willing, and excited.
I am "pumped up" and/or "fired up" for the guard I love, and the show I love. Lets Do This.
