Omg you guys hardly move! My band directors and guard directors literally make our drill so difficult. We have to move across the field running just to make it to our spot and by the end of a runt through I’m soaked in sweat. It’s totally worth it though at championships.
Yesss same. We have to jazz run soooo much just to get to our spots. I was on the 25 yard line on side 1 (of our field) and had to Make it to the 45 yard like on side 2 ( the other side) on 12 counts 😬it’s annoying at times but TOTALLY worth it in the end for the football games and competitions
shaterrica spearman holy cow that’s crazy! We were lucky enough to get 19 on our team this year, they’re mostly freshmen but all of them are catching on pretty quickly
milkteas Once I had to be there at school at 5 AM. 😂😂 We also had a football game a day before too, so we only had barely 6 hours of sleep. Oh that is a competition day too.
Ting Zhang our call time was legit bc our school is in the mountains so anywhere we go for a competition is 45 minutes to 2-3 hours. and where we had to go was roughly two hours
Killer Raspberry yes Ohio band pride!!! What band are you???? Anyways for this tread, mine is a B band because of our school size but we have 92 band members and 20 guard members this year.
So I’m a freshman and I auditioned to be in the top band in my school and I made it!! But it’s actually harder than I thought because they have high expectations from us since our band is one of the best in the state, but after I got used to it now it’s pretty fun
My band does not trust out Color Guard enough to have Guard members with flags so close. We literally are such a small Guard too! Only about 14 people. I would kill to have our own closet as well. We have 2 closets with only 2 slots each and it’s within the band closet (where they are annoyingly playing 4 square all the time) so it’s a struggle. I hope y’all continue to do well at competitions!
I am in the color guard also! When I saw you guys get first place and just get so excited it really gave me goosebumps lol i love that feeling. i am so very excited for this year’s season. I also loved the golden silks and you all were so together!! Have a good 2018 season!!
Yooo at 4:28 that sounds similar to my marching band show this year. It’s near the end and called “Juliet’s love” Clark high school. you guys sound great!
We have a male colorguard. I’m a majorette but I participated in winter guard last year( not only was it the schools first time doing winterguard but it was also my first time being able to participate in anything. I’m going into ninth grade now) and this is awesome
Winter guard looks so cool! I don’t know why our school doesn’t do it! But it’s really great that you got to try guard out so early... we don’t start until 9th grade
OMMGGMMGMG i used to go to Prairie Heights Elementary when i was younger! ahh what a coincidence! i remember that football field very well. had some good times living there :) and great job on the Romeo and Juliet, i played that in a youth orch last year.
oh yeah, i remember waking up around 8am in the mornings when i was little and going outside to hear the drumline echoing to my neighborhood. CR has some great bands!
what division are you guys in? also it was nice to see a vlog of marching band haha I haven't seen one before and it's strange seeing what we do summed up in a video
In Florida at least, the biggest division is AAAAA. It's also the most competitive... And my band is moving up into it. Rip. No trophies for us this year.
We preformed at 5 seasons! Im apart if the guard for THE MARCHING BOBCATS.. aka benton community. We are 3A and u guys did sooo good!!!! Did u get to see us??
My dad is a band director and I’ve been dragged along to band competitions and football games lol Now I’m in 7th grade honors band and play the clarinet :) nice vid
I am from Independence and I heard you say Prarie in your video but I didn’t think it was the same Prarie competition I attend with my band every year😂😂 I love watching Linn Mar perform every year and yes - your guard is always amazing. Hopefully you do well this season!! I know Independence is ready for competition season to start!!!
Lol I wish my schools guard wore capezio Jazz shoes. They have “outdoor guard shoes” or something. As a dancer I prefer the capezios but it doesn’t matter since I march flute 😂
We have the smallest guard room... we have 9 or 10 people and we can barely change in there. Today we got or costumes and tomorrow is our first comp. This is my first year of being in matching band.
I’m one of the two guys in our high school marching band and we’re gonna be doing our first performance of the year in a few weeks and it’s gonna be so much fun
This is random lol y’alls performance was on my birthday lol but u guys did so great from what I saw and IM IN COLOR GAURD TOOOO FYI im a guy lol IN COLOR GAURD IM VERY RARE😂😂
I wish my band was bigger but that's the only thing since we've gotten 1st or top 5 at all of our comps we have maybe 50-60 kids just in the band and maybe like 20-30 in guard
Lucky for you that when your break is over you can kind of just mosey over. For us two whistles is 2 minutes 1 whistle is one minute and a quick 2 whistles is 30 seconds so if you aren’t back by the time we’re called to attention that’s pushups 💀😂
At my school, Best guard who? 😂 That's going to change this year FOR SURE, last year our captain we're not pushy at us at all. Smh. They even cause drama. But hopefully we get that this year ❤️
Omg lol im from the Wash band, may i ask, are we good? Ima freshman so idk, someone said we got last place last year lmao didnt realize u where from iowa till u said linn mar
Omg you guys hardly move! My band directors and guard directors literally make our drill so difficult. We have to move across the field running just to make it to our spot and by the end of a runt through I’m soaked in sweat. It’s totally worth it though at championships.
Anya Deising saaammeee
we are like throwing roses no stop
while like it fells like running everywhere
And their 5 minute breaks mean 5 minutes. It’s crazy
Yesss same. We have to jazz run soooo much just to get to our spots. I was on the 25 yard line on side 1 (of our field) and had to Make it to the 45 yard like on side 2 ( the other side) on 12 counts 😬it’s annoying at times but TOTALLY worth it in the end for the football games and competitions
i cant believe yall put on makeup before rehearsal. i would sweat and accidentally wipe it all off
Shayne Medina IK omg I have to do it before we leave
Blue Rose on game days during school days, we dont even go to the afternoon rehearsals bc getting ready takes too long for us😂
Shayne Medina OMFG YESSSSSS. My makeup gets put on partially at the school and the rest on the bus💀😂
If I have a football game Ill sometimes do like my base makeup thankfully we have morning practice
the band directer gives us barely enough time to get ready lol
Damn, our Color Guard only has a closet lol. And how’re you guys so goooood??? Our Guard needs to know your secrets lol
Serina Hooper We only have 4 😂
shaterrica spearman holy cow that’s crazy! We were lucky enough to get 19 on our team this year, they’re mostly freshmen but all of them are catching on pretty quickly
We have like 15 but half of them don't care :/
Serina Hooper wow shook. this is only our second year since our school opened but we have 39 members
Same. Our guard is so out of Sinc at times and it looks so bad.
So happy seeing some one VLOG what REALLY HAPPENS at comps,
wow your band and guard is huge! ours is sooo small. and your guard room in nice!
Also ur costumes are flippin gorgeous ours are usually ugli
Alisa M I Relate so much..
Alisa M Same!!!😫I hate my Colorguard uniform!
Lmao same we were supposed to be majestic birds but we looked like chickens😂
Alisa Majarova I relate wayyyy to much.
Same! All we have is glittery shurts and normal black dress pants 😂😂
Yall are complaining abt only having closets while we just have to keep our stuff in the hallway outside the band room like literally in a corner
i had a parade a few days ago and competitions last season where we had to jump the fence to get into school since calltime was so early lmao
milkteas Once I had to be there at school at 5 AM. 😂😂 We also had a football game a day before too, so we only had barely 6 hours of sleep. Oh that is a competition day too.
LOL we had a call time of 5:30 and our director didn’t show up till 6:15
Angel Rae I heard that few years ago, my school's band had a call time of 2 AM. I still think it's a lie because nobody, NOBODY would be awake.
Ting Zhang our call time was legit bc our school is in the mountains so anywhere we go for a competition is 45 minutes to 2-3 hours. and where we had to go was roughly two hours
Angel Rae My 5 AM was legit too, but idk about the 2 AM. We have to arrive before 5 AM, but our director was there, so it wasn't all cozy.
If my band had two performances in one day I would literally die 😭
Kayla Nicole I’ve had 3 ( pre lims , finals , and an encore ) 😂 I’m surprised I didn’t die
My band does MPAs the same day as our hosted competition. At least we're at our school so if we have extra time between, we can just leave.
And yeah semis and the finals is the grand finale to the season on the same day.
one time i had 2 comps in one day and homecoming was the same day and the day before we had our homecoming parade. it was crazy.
My show is 11 minutes long ... I would fr die
I'm in colorguard to and I understand that behind the scenes is honestly just a whole bunch of memories and Its amazing
Im in a AAAAA band but our band is like 10x smaller than that, we have 40 winds and 5 bases 3 snares 1 tenor and like 14 color gaurd
We were a 2A band and our bd put us in 4A in our last comp last year
damn we are a 3a and we have 5 bass drums, 4 snares and 2 tenors
In Ohio, it’s based off of school size and the Max is AA (C,B,A,AA)
@@KillerRaspberry no that is boa
Killer Raspberry yes Ohio band pride!!! What band are you???? Anyways for this tread, mine is a B band because of our school size but we have 92 band members and 20 guard members this year.
At my school when I describe guard I tell people it's coreographed flag and weapon dancing
Our guard room is literally the size of a janitor closet.
So I’m a freshman and I auditioned to be in the top band in my school and I made it!! But it’s actually harder than I thought because they have high expectations from us since our band is one of the best in the state, but after I got used to it now it’s pretty fun
Congrats that super cool!!
what state are you in?
Aww this makes me miss marching band ☹️ I just graduated and didn’t do it my senior year
It's really interesting to see how different it is at each school
I can't believe y'all have your own room. My guard has the bands uniform closet that is full with all their stuff and it's not even half that size
At least you have a guard room we have a bathroom and a girls locker room in our middle school in the district
I’m in color guard too! We just did a performance today and I’m tired XD
My band does not trust out Color Guard enough to have Guard members with flags so close. We literally are such a small Guard too! Only about 14 people. I would kill to have our own closet as well. We have 2 closets with only 2 slots each and it’s within the band closet (where they are annoyingly playing 4 square all the time) so it’s a struggle. I hope y’all continue to do well at competitions!
Your color guard looks fun mine was shitty so I left lol
I am in the color guard also! When I saw you guys get first place and just get so excited it really gave me goosebumps lol i love that feeling. i am so very excited for this year’s season. I also loved the golden silks and you all were so together!! Have a good 2018 season!!
I’m trying out for color guard next year in high school and I’m excited !
We did “how are your feet” during band camp!! Honestly it’s great but also hilarious cause no one in our band ever remembered the words
"Tricks with flags" yeah that sums it up lol
Finally, I see someone who vlogs about colorguard or band!:)
Awww this was so good! Your costumes were amazing!!! Loved it!!
Yooo at 4:28 that sounds similar to my marching band show this year. It’s near the end and called “Juliet’s love” Clark high school. you guys sound great!
I’m not in guard but I’m in the band part of Marching. Congrats!!!
wow, your band is so big! we only have 4 guard members. but I'm happy we at least have some bc I was in a mega tiny band with 0 guard
I wish my school had a big guard.. I’m literally the only guard because everyone else quit.. so much for having “Best Guard”
so cool! I’m in guard as well, so I can relate to this exact routine too well HAHA, competitions are the best!
We have a male colorguard. I’m a majorette but I participated in winter guard last year( not only was it the schools first time doing winterguard but it was also my first time being able to participate in anything. I’m going into ninth grade now) and this is awesome
Winter guard looks so cool! I don’t know why our school doesn’t do it! But it’s really great that you got to try guard out so early... we don’t start until 9th grade
We don’t have Majorettes because they cost mad points off in competitions
OMMGGMMGMG i used to go to Prairie Heights Elementary when i was younger! ahh what a coincidence! i remember that football field very well. had some good times living there :) and great job on the Romeo and Juliet, i played that in a youth orch last year.
oh yeah, i remember waking up around 8am in the mornings when i was little and going outside to hear the drumline echoing to my neighborhood. CR has some great bands!
oof i went to Prairie Creek Intermediate too, it's the school in the background at 5:00
that’s so cool!!! hope it gave you some nostalgia;)
Senior this year! 😂😂✌✌
My school always have that tradition of making the seniors go down and get trophies.
Aww that must be nice... the captains just get ours
Desi Squared I guess since we are a tiny band, so yeah.
our preformance is about a circus type of thing, we have a soloist ringmaster and others are animals: peacocks, zebra, cheetas and reptiles.
Our band does the same cheer for posture. The drum majors are always mad cuz we don't participate other then the section leaders. 😂
I’m from Independence!! Glad to find another Iowa band!
OH MY GOD HOU GUYS DO A SIMILAR SALUTE TO MY SCHOOL AND NO OTHER BAND IN OUR STATE DOES THAT HOLY SHIT THAT MADE ME HAPPY
what division are you guys in? also it was nice to see a vlog of marching band haha I haven't seen one before and it's strange seeing what we do summed up in a video
We’re in the biggest division... haha it’s been so long since a comp I forgot what our division is actually called😂
If it's the biggest y'all probably are in AAAA
True Blue The biggest I think is AAAAA
In Florida at least, the biggest division is AAAAA. It's also the most competitive... And my band is moving up into it. Rip. No trophies for us this year.
in SCSBOA we have 6A 😂😂
y’all band and guard is so good!
but I've always wanted to be in guard. at the moment I play the trumpet. I'm trying out next year for my senior year
Your high school competes. We go on one trip a year and compete but we usually just do games and parades .
plus your guard room is so nice, ours is literally a closet
We preformed at 5 seasons! Im apart if the guard for THE MARCHING BOBCATS.. aka benton community. We are 3A and u guys did sooo good!!!! Did u get to see us??
I’m also in guard! My band is a group 2 open class, West Deptford Highschool !

My dad is a band director and I’ve been dragged along to band competitions and football games lol
Now I’m in 7th grade honors band and play the clarinet :) nice vid
That was so cool!! We’re playing The Greatest Show!
I love breaking it down! :))
YES BAND KIDS DOING VLOGS, I subscribed so quick 😂
we say the same chant at the end of rehearsals but it’s so intense lol we literally stand in position and have to yell loud
In my school’s color guard there are at least 4 guys right now
I subscribed as soon as I heard color guard!!
my guard room is a closet haha but i love my guard family haha. im gonna be a freshmen next year thats when i start! i just already saw the room haha
I would love to see our team against yours. We've been winning every competition and never got anything under 90.3
I am from Independence and I heard you say Prarie in your video but I didn’t think it was the same Prarie competition I attend with my band every year😂😂 I love watching Linn Mar perform every year and yes - your guard is always amazing. Hopefully you do well this season!! I know Independence is ready for competition season to start!!!
omg!! We loveeee independence! You guys are always amazing
hey i’m on colorguard for my high school!! and comps are so much fun but we only have 1 during the day. we have 2 all season
Lol I wish my schools guard wore capezio Jazz shoes. They have “outdoor guard shoes” or something. As a dancer I prefer the capezios but it doesn’t matter since I march flute 😂
Gongrats on best Guard and first place!!!
I'm the only boy in my Color Guard
Me too
What is it like to be on a happy guard? We hate each other.
hey girl i love your video! Yesterday my guard and I were performing our first movement for field season!
Wow i wish i could relate about having a guard room cus we have a guard closet
You guys are so lucky, our guard is just a closet to put the flags and other equipment
Haha yes we are lucky but we also get in lots of trouble with the band directors for leaving our stuff in there!😂
Hi... I’m also in colorgaurd!! I’m pretty sure y’all march and twirl better then my hairs does!! 👍👍 if you read this... I love you!!
We have the smallest guard room... we have 9 or 10 people and we can barely change in there. Today we got or costumes and tomorrow is our first comp. This is my first year of being in matching band.

Desi Squared thank youu
We don’t even have a guard room. It’s a wall with hooks in the storage room where we keep all of our instruments. I’m not in guard tho.
I wish my band was bigger but that's the only thing since we've gotten 1st or top 5 at all of our comps we have maybe 50-60 kids just in the band and maybe like 20-30 in guard
Wait is that Sunnyvale 😂 if so clark was there but I’m going to plano next year so state!!!!

You guys look amazing!
Thank you
Lucky for you that when your break is over you can kind of just mosey over. For us two whistles is 2 minutes 1 whistle is one minute and a quick 2 whistles is 30 seconds so if you aren’t back by the time we’re called to attention that’s pushups 💀😂
We have the same purple flags for our show!!

You guys sound amaizing. Try to compete with SHHS Band in Tennessee
Guard sister here!!🙋🏾♀️❤️🏳️
your band and guard is so big- we only have 8 quard members and we have only about 70 or less in our band ;oI think we're a 3A
At my school, Best guard who? 😂
That's going to change this year FOR SURE, last year our captain we're not pushy at us at all. Smh. They even cause drama. But hopefully we get that this year ❤️
I start marching band next year
Omg lol im from the Wash band, may i ask, are we good? Ima freshman so idk, someone said we got last place last year lmao didnt realize u where from iowa till u said linn mar
