Hey everyone! Today the guard accomplished a lot! We finalized the production part of our show by adding more dance and more stick work. It's a little rough now but it should be getting progressively better. We put our ballad together for the first time tonight and it's looking really great. I'm so beyond excited to see how this show is going to turn out. The final touches keep making it look better and better and individual performance will only help with the quality of the show.
Unfortunately, along with all of our effort comes some injuries and illness for our members. This week we have had more girl feeling sick and pulling and popping things that I have ever seen before. Although it's very unfortunate, in a way it's very telling of how much work we put into what we do. Let's hope that everyone is feeling healthy and strong by Friday (and the rest of the season) so we can have a great show! That's all for me today, I'll keep updating this week.

Colorguard Update- Monday, August 15
Hello, everybody! I am Anna Burton, colorguard captain and blogger for the section. Things are crazy and exciting for our section, there's a lot going on! Today we completed our opener by ending with a great flag feature that is looking really good. We also began working on our soloist Becca Swick's solo in the "production" part of the show. Dancers began learning work for the same part, and flags began their choreography on "jungle sticks" as we like to call them, but in actuality they're just large poles. We will continue to add dance work and fill in the little spots and transitions that we have open, but otherwise most of our show is done!
Also this week we have a lot more staff in, which is giving us much more individual time and more experts on certain areas of colorguard work. We are progressing so quickly, and it's awesome to see how well everyone is doing.-- the freshmen especially. Look for more updates this week from me, and have a good day!
