Weekends

So most of you know that I am a total color guard nerd, and have spent the past 15 years of my life either performing or teaching color guard.  Some of you might ask what color guard is.... well... it is a group/team of people who spin flags, riffles, sabers, or anything else they can get their hands on.  They study dance and modern movement, along with theatrics and performance.  The group puts all these features into a 'show'.  For fall we are the visual representation for the marching band on the football field.  But for the winter season we use a basketball court, and attend contests all around the state ending our season in Dayton OH for WGI Championships.  It is a creative athletic world that most people don't even know exists.  I am currently working with two groups: one high school group, and the other an Independent group here in Austin called ATX ATX Winterguard.  So if you have been wandering what I am doing all weekend here it is! 

Here are some pics from a resent rehearsal to give you a better idea of what we do :)
