      Devyn Fosmire it took me forever to learn how to toss a 45 😂 I actually was threatened to be kicked out of a fall show because I couldn't do it. My senior year winter season, I had a solo toss. It was a double 45 😁 always room for improvement if you set your mind to it!

      Just curious, but what happens at guard tryouts? We don’t have those. The Cadet guard is open to everyone in grades 6-8. The A guard is 7-12, aka kids that have outgrown the cadet guard or are good enough for A. Then, world is 8-12, but you obviously have the be the best in the program. In order to move up to A or world, they watch you veeeery carefully throughout the season to see if you’re ready to go to the next level.

    3. X toss
    4. Regular toss
    5. This one is the same we call it a 45. This year we do a 45 I the show and we turn around under it.
    We do a lot of things different. Like we have a windup for the X toss. We also do a "cone" (we call it a stir) before the 45. Also there are a bunch of counts that we do different and stuff like that.

    I’m a freshman in color guard this year and there are only 6 people on my schools color guard and we have two captains but three of the people on our color guard are seniors and the other three of us are all freshman or sophomores so we don’t know really anything about color guard and next year two of us three are going to have to be captain and co captain.

    Ok so...I watched this before I ever started my first marching season and now that I have over 2 years of experience, this is eye-opening. Example: apparently I learned how to do a 45 with a 1 1/2 rotation instead of just a single...?!

    This video showed up in my feed. As a former guard member in high school (captain!) and college, this has brought back great memories and made me glad I kept 2 of my flags. Unfortunately they're in storage in another state so I can't get them out and practice right now. But I want too!!

    • @DemyxTracer
      @DemyxTracer  7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      +Christina Lynn I hope you do lol and I bet you'd make a great coach too!

    • @humminbirrrd
      @humminbirrrd 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      You have no idea! I absolutely love guard and have fantasized about being a coach. But - that was literally 20-some years ago so I would have to do some major catch-up, lol! I honestly feel like flying out to get my flags and bring them back right now. I was also a sabre!

    • @DemyxTracer

  • @jillyhargrave7435
    @jillyhargrave7435 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Watching this now and realizing just how different technique and protocols can change in the CG in just a couple of years, and also just how DIFFERENT technique is every where you go. Vocabulary is different, and this is what makes teaching a college guard so hard- because you have to explain everything using national language, and teach using the same technique/teaching new techniques. This is so interesting.

    • @SEH221

      Melissa Jacques I mean it really depends on your school and theor program. WGI champs is the big competition tho, if I remember correctly

    • @anyadeising1564
      @anyadeising1564 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Demyx Tracer you guys are doing your tosses way to low. Idk if it's for the video but it's wrong

    • @DemyxTracer
      @DemyxTracer  7 ปีที่แล้ว +8

      +Anya Deising no I don't believe they are. I've been doing this for four years now and those tosses have been the same all four years. No we're quite correct, sorry.

    • @bakingbeauty2993
      @bakingbeauty2993 7 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      Anya Deising it really depends on your instructor. I get what you're saying because in our show, they do typically go a lot higher. I have seen shows though that are the same height as the one in the video. He has been doing this for a while so that's just how he learned it.😊
