This is the color guard basics portion of the 2008 CMU drum major and color guard clinic performance. Sorry about the shakiness of the video my brother video taped it.
I have been involved in guard design, drum majoring, drill design, dance team choreography and a band directing for 30 years. I have been blessed to have worked with so many talented people. It's nice to see well trained campers being applauded for the hard work put into to this exhibition. Little negative comments about receiving applause for drop spins need not be made. Anyone involved knows what it takes just to master the basics would give the same form of encouragement.
it kinda sucked with the fact that a lot of people were off count and i didnt know what was going on half the time but my favorite part was when the guy threw the double and the i noticed i have to throw a double as a solo next year im kinds scared
I was the only guy in my high school's color guard and winter guard at the time of this video. I always wished I saw more guys in guard, though all girl color guards tended to be the case with many of the schools I saw as well.
If there isn't a stop after each spin, then they might be what used to be called continuous drop spins. It all depends on what was actually being taught.
ususally once hghschool is done and one moves on to drum corps and independent winterguard, it evens out between guys and girls. Unless you are madison scouts or cavaliers- then you have only guys ob those teams.
brwneydgirl70 I know there was a boy who wanted to join but out coach wouldnt allow him to. I think it would be cool to have a boy instead of all girls.
this is just a camp for captains/drum majors that happens each year before marching band season kicks off. they wear the provided t-shirts and khaki shorts as uniform because buying new costumes is unnecessary as to they preform the learned routine from the camp once at the end of the week
Uhhmmm... there is nothing really happening here people. Was this just a rehearsal or what? This is what it looks like in South Africa: /watch?v=ZgBj0dUZ_iA

That part when he jolted with his flag though👌😐
I love love love the peggy/thumbflip exercise! Those campers did a GREAT job! :)
Aw, I spent a lot of my fall Saturdays spinning a flag in sunny Kelly Shorts Stadium. Good memories.

the thumb flips!?? never seen that?! please tell me how to do that!!!
The people are clapping because according to the description, this was a clinic performance.
there was duck arms like flapping arms for the drop spins
@ccsingle07 What camp? will there be on this year? in flordia?
Cool! The dance routine was good!
And guys are almost always more capable in colorguard. More muscle mass. Bigger tosses. Solid catches.
is your guys attention at your belly button? cause if so ours is different
@yosef can you do tutorials on advanced tosses
@ccsingle07 Luck thats all i hear now in marching is, 2nd position! 2nd 2nd 2nd and then 3rd every time we halt

+Cody Cannon oh ok
Unfortunately our like color guard teacher or w.e doesnt alllow us to have boys on the team just all girls
shaykums23 that's sexist...
brwneydgirl70 I know there was a boy who wanted to join but out coach wouldnt allow him to. I think it would be cool to have a boy instead of all girls.
the reason no one was together was that no one was counting thats the issue
@ccllvvcookie thats not fair he cant stop people from doing that
we did 600 twice a day at my band camp for a week
I kept focusing on the one girl behind the guy in front kept looking to her left. Head up and smile but everything else is good
i was wonderign the same thing
Wow...

ours is at our belly buttons
Drop spins are very sloppy. They should snap to a stop after every drop..
If I have to watch ONE MORE drop spin. -__-
@rollerchick1654 haha i watched a vid on those i found out i do them without me knowing lol
Don't mean to hate: but this is sub par basics and guard book...
@LaFred88 hating much. :| Pretty Rude too. Not every color guard knows everything.
So their costumes are khakis and a white shirt 😒❓
this was probably just what they had to wear that day
this is just a camp for captains/drum majors that happens each year before marching band season kicks off. they wear the provided t-shirts and khaki shorts as uniform because buying new costumes is unnecessary as to they preform the learned routine from the camp once at the end of the week
thats pretty awesome:) but its too far aaway
heehee "peggys" we call them drop spins and needs some work
Uhhmmm... there is nothing really happening here people. Was this just a rehearsal or what?
This is what it looks like in South Africa: /watch?v=ZgBj0dUZ_iA
