Bay Area Color Guard 4th of July Parade
how do you take apart this sabre?
I haven’t done so yet but I think like other sabers you unscrew the screw found at the end of the hilt
@@GrantisimoProductions i don’t know if my sabre is just broken but when i try turning it nothing happens
maybe try turning the blade or hilt instead maybe something is stuck together
@@GrantisimoProductionswhich way would you turn the screw nothings happening when i turn it either way
The hilt looks almost identical to a king 🤔. I’m curious how well it holds up. The issue with Excalibur is that the hilts bend.
Yeah thats what I noticed too. I think the Zaber will hold up well as the hilt has thick metal.
would you be able to make a comparison between the blade of this sabre an the king sabre blade?
I do not have a king with me right now but from what I remember the king would be more round
Dude I just cried because I can’t do this
You can do it. Take a break maybe sleep on it, and the next day try it again. It takes practice, patience, and attention to the pathway of the pole.
would you prefer this or a DSI Elite 5?
It depends, the Kong is going to weigh more and be bigger, but the quality is great I'd say it is for more experienced spinners. The Elite 5 is very standard yet only comes in 37.5, but is smaller not as high quality.
@@GrantisimoProductions in a 37.5 kong would it still be heavier i’ve heard they’re very light.
@@JHCMPR all wood weighs differently according to how the tree grows, so it depends. But if I’d have to bet I’d think the Kong would be heavier
I was thrown on rifle this year and never taught the basics. This helped so much! My tosses have a lot more confidence 🥰
You are so welcome!! 🥰 Have a great season!
I've never spun a sabre before, but i would love to try it, just lemme know if you have some old sabres and i would be happy to buy them, I'm all the way here in the Philippines so it would be pricey if you just send it
Hey I actually don't own any sabers right now. But you might want to check with @marchingvitz on IG. They are based in Indonesia which would be closer for shipping
I’m not sure if you’re reading this or not, but I was wondering, since I just got a rifle about a week ago and have been in Guard about 4 years only really knowing flag, is there a smaller toss for a rifle, similar to a pop toss for a flag? Or does it go straight into a single?
Hi, yes there is. You can do a prayer/pop toss just like you do on flag in the same way. Actually many tosses on flag you can do on rifle, it just feels different because it is a different equipment. Try it out, see what tosses you can also make happen on rifle.
I do agree that those flags are awesome design wise! My experience with the Genisis flags has been that you have to majorly get use to the way the silk spins. When I have worked with guards using these for the first time, I always say that they are a mixed fabric flag so they will spin a bit different than flags we usually spin. I personally reccomend them because the shin they provide makes it look even more stunning!
Agreed!
They just came out with the Zaber now. I’m curious
Yes same here! I'm looking to do a review of it this summer
It looks a lot like a King. Waiting for your review
Do you have to pay when you put a music on it?
Yeah buts its worth it!
Hello can I ask if u can do a comparison between the elite 3 and 5?
The elite 3 is smaller width wise so it will be lighter and thinner. Whereas the elite 5 is a bit heavier and thicker
But I have a light cavalry sabre not infantry, so it didn't work
Thx mate, all the other videos werea about light sabers not sabres, helped alot!
That's not how u do it
Actually there are many different ways to toss on rifle, this is just one of those ways with technique.
do you have an approximate weight for it? im thinking of getting this kind of rifle but I dont want anything that's too light
I do not have the weight but I honestly don't think it is very light. If anything around medium
My instructor wants me to do a double 45, positioned on the silk side instead of the pole. Would this same thing be applied there? My flag keeps flying to the left of me and its beginning to frustrate me 😅
Hey the same principles can be applied. However if your flag keeps going too much to the left then you might be releasing it too late. Try slo mo video taping to see the release point is, you might need to think more up. Also check your weights to see if they are correct, too heavy will make the top spin more.
How well does this rifle spin compared too other rifles? How does the rifle weight compare to wooden rifles? Would you recommend this for someone on a budget and someone who doesnt want to have to worry about their rifle breaking?
It actually spins quite well! It does feel different than a wooden rifle though, but it wont take long to get used to it. Yes I would say this is a good buy for someone who might be dropping their rifle a lot while learning on hard surfaces.
My guard calls that a top cone, bottom cone
Is there a way to edit your comments for each formation RATHER than just add on to the comments?
Good question though I am not sure if there is solution for this
it says I must to pay for add music 😭
The paid app version is worth it 👌
I know it's a year later but thank you so much for this!!!! I used to do colorguard in HS (i'm 34 now). I need to do a preschool dance lesson and I really want to introduce them to the awesomeness that is color guard! This is PERFECT!!!!!! 🏳️❤️
You are totally welcome 🫶 Omg what a great idea for the little kiddos!! I hope they had tons of fun with it and it inspired the next generation of guardies 🏳
Great video! How do you think they would hold up if the grass/turff was wet? Do you think I would slip?
Thanks! Like most all jazz shoes they do not have much tread to make traction. This is because jazz shoes are made for indoors. But I think these would hold up better than leather alternatives. If your area is really wet you may need to add something onto your shoes.
Hi there! what were the dimensions you used for the tape?
Hi! I used 3.5 inches wide. If for a 6ft pole I cut strips in just barely over a foot long to allow for some overlap
I just ordered mine a week and 3 days ago still hasn’t come in😞
Oh no! Have you tried to call them? They can look up where it might be.
@@GrantisimoProductions haha yes, not sure why they don’t pick up. I’ll just keep waiting patiently 🙂
6:00 full exercise
can barely hear you
When I first made and posted this video I remember it being louder. I'm sorry its hard to hear!
Wow I didn't even know there was such a thing. Is contact paper purely for aesthetic purposes?
Yes as some people like that the pole matches the color scheme of their show
This flag looks really high tech! I think I prefer the shiny metallic look for more pizzazz. Question, how do you properly distribute the weights in your flag?
Yes the metallic ones add flash when spun under stadium lights ✴️ In a regular flag I follow the rule of: big weight on top, small weight on the bottom. And the size of the weight depends on the length of the pole
how do you feel about web straps?
I'm not really a fan of web straps because they are kinda slippery. Leather straps have a better sound too.
As someone who’s been in guard only 2 years I’ve never once touched my rifle. I was too scared of even spinning it. This definitely helped me find the confidence to finally pick it up. Haven’t mastered it yet, but I’m getting there!! Thank you!! 💕
Yay I'm so glad this helped you!! Learning is a process and one day you will get there
fascinating. "only in NA is a rifle an instrument" got me here.
LOL
I marched & spun way back in the late 70's to mid 80's in Southern California, and at that time, we spun smaller sized rifles (usually without straps). Many times as an option, we would cut wooden dowels for the bolt bed, sand it by hand a bit, tape the bolt dowel with colored electrical tape, & finally secure it with a strong glue & re-tape it down for added security since that entire section would need re-taping for reinforcement purposes. By not using screws on the bolt, it seemed to help not compromise the wood for the rifles we used to spin way back then and also provided a stronger bolt since it was no longer hollow & prone to cracking/breakage. I also noticed there is no longer an embossed groove in the longer nose portion of the rifle (like my old ones). It doesn't seem rifles are made this way anymore I'm assuming. I prefer lighter weight rifles personally since I'm looking for a new rifle...
Hi may I ask the exact measurements for flags and pole??
18X27 silk and 3 feet for the pole
@@GrantisimoProductions Thank you! I had this same question! What did you use to make the flag?
@@danajanuszka6464 I used an old 6ft flag pole and cut it in half
This is a great tutorial video! Any chance you could make a "TH-cam short" of you doing the exercise so kids can practice with you on repeat?
I would love to! However I am traveling overseas for an extended period of time and do not have my rifle. If I do come across one I would not mind making a video
I was curious about rifle since I never got to do it in high school. There is no way I would've been able to do this haha. I broke my nose doing a J toss I hate to imagine what kind of damage my face would've taken with a rifle.
Thank you so much. I’ve been using a stop motion app to write my performance and this is a game changer🙌🏻
Yay glad this helps you!
What size did you get
37.5
Can you make a review on the elite pro rifle please it's a plastic rifle and I want to see how it does before buying one
Oh didn't know about that type yet. I'm on a long trip so hopefully I can review that one when I return.
This is so cool!!! We are having a marching band competition in Thailand as well this year
When ordering a King rifle, how do I make sure it is not one of the lighter rifles, such as King Kong
When you order online through their website, select the King rifles page not the Kong. When you receive the rifle it should not be taped, Kong rifles come taped
my school has king sabres that have been there like 3 directors ago and also king sabres that didn’t even last a year so BUT THATS LIKE nothing that’s like 2/18 i think
Yep they seem to last a long time!
Thanks for the tutorial! My sister did color guard all thru high school and college. Now she has kids, and I want to make some mini flags for them for Christmas. I was in marching band, so have no knowledge of the flags and taping, so this video really helps!
Yay! Thanks for letting me know this video helps you
The fact that im learning rifle by myself and this video is helping so much for it being 5 years ago
So glad it is helpful for you!☺
I was going through my watch later and I found this. I watched this my first season when I really wanted to learn singles 😭 Now I'm in my 3rd season throwing 6s! This was the first rifle video I watched when I started
Omg 😭I'm glad it helped you!! We all start somewhere and happy to hear of your successes <3
I am still struggling so hard to let go of the flag behind my head lol I just feel like it’s going to hit my head
Hi Victoria I know can be a challenge to release the flag but think of launching it forward rather than behind or directly over your head. This way you can always see the flag and avoid it hitting you.
@@GrantisimoProductions okay, thank you so much. I’m new to guard and want to march with guardians this coming summer so I can then move on to a world class corps. I will still practice it a lot thank you so much again
i downloaded it on my android phone, but I miss features like put the musci.. this only happens in iphone or ipad??
It looks like not all functions are included yet, but they did say on their IG that the rest will be available soon
Is this a 1.5 or a double? 🙂
This is a single 45 toss
You’re such a good teacher! This helped me so much thank you 😊
Yay glad it helped!
