Tips

Things to Keep in Mind When Performing or Trying Out

¨ When you practice your routine, practice smiling through the entire routine. You enjoy color guard, make it look that way.

¨ When smiling, try mouthing the letters "A E I O U". Each letter shows a smile that looks a little different.

¨ Try not to wear jeans when performing. They are harder to move in and less comfortable.

¨ Always be confident; You cannot catch a flag if you’re only thinking of ways to drop it.

¨ Before a competition, eat a good breakfast so you’re ready.

¨ When you’re doing a toss, keep your left hand by your side unless your routine requires otherwise.

¨ Never stop in the middle of a routine no matter what happens. Just keep going and keep smiling.

¨ When doing drop spins, spin them down by your belly button. You’re more likely to pull or strain a muscle if you’re spinning higher.

¨ Make sure your hair is out of your face.

¨ If your flag gets caught, don’t stop to fix it. Just keep doing your routine and the flag should eventually come loose.

¨ Don’t get discouraged. Remember, if it were easy, everyone would do it.
