Guard Aesthetics

my ambition is my weaponry

“guard isn’t important” “guard shouldn’t be part of the marching band”

we are the emotional connection to the music. we are what allow the crowd to hear what the words can’t say. don’t tell us we aren’t important.

[Guard Aesthetics @guardaesthetics]

today was the day i finally fixed my blade free arm so i am no longer cradling my bust #sabre #colorguard #weapon

[Guard Aesthetics @guardaesthetics]

@brrryan22 Thank you for the advice!! I’ll keep it in mind!

[Guard Aesthetics @guardaesthetics]

im currently trying to master barrel jumps/turns, any advice?

[Guard Aesthetics @guardaesthetics]

My first winter guard competition I saw Pride of Cincinatti perform ‘The Inevtable Direction of my Life’ and that’s when I knew mine

[Guard Aesthetics @guardaesthetics]

why is there a spike in sports shows in marching band/indoor this year? I can appreciate the skill and training of the performers but I hate watching shows about other sports.

[Guard Aesthetics @guardaesthetics]

if you write swing flag work into winter guard you’re lazy. swing flags are so simple and have no place in the winter season.

i was showing my mom (she lived out of state) one of our winter performances and it was on our stippled rifle tosses and she pointed to me and was like “who is that?? they were super sharp!” ;)

[Guard Aesthetics @guardaesthetics]

calling my sabre houdini bc it just disappears when i throw it

[Guard Aesthetics @guardaesthetics]

so excited to see dayton finals’ performances

[Guard Aesthetics @guardaesthetics]

favortism is the worst, especially when you don’t get a voice bc of it

[Guard Aesthetics @guardaesthetics]

I’ve been working weapon technique like crazy, and next is body. Main Line Independent here I come 💪🏼

i love luxury sabres as much as the next guardie, but spinning Kings and Excaliburs is so much harder than a Zinc Coated Samurai. Spot me still buying an Excalibur though.

[Guard Aesthetics @guardaesthetics]

guess who already has her solo sabre toss down 😈 (for next winter lololol)

[Guard Aesthetics @guardaesthetics]

so our instructor doesn’t let us wear gloves in competition, he doesn’t really see much use in them at a high school level. however, i still own a pair and i want to spin in the cold. and i only need the right glove, but i can’t even seem to find that one

[Guard Aesthetics @guardaesthetics]

i just saw a sabre solo that was a blade quint with a behind the back catch, have to learn!!!

[Guard Aesthetics @guardaesthetics]

my right arm being sore is so exciting bc i worked rifle really hard yesterday so i know im getting stronger

[Guard Aesthetics @guardaesthetics]

i need to get something off my chest real quick and most people probably won’t like it. but it is absolutely so frustrating when people don’t practice by themselves at home. not only is that just ridiculous but it is part of what you signed on for.
