Our winterguard is pretty small this season.

We have a girl out with mono for the first little bit of the season, and i'm on and off the floor as my back spasms allow.

A lot of the girls just.. aren't up to full health.

Our song is "Take 5" by the Dave Brubreck Quartet.
For any who haven't heard it, which I assume is most, as I hadn't heard of it:
It's in 5/5 time.
It's pretty fast, as far as shows go.
A lot of our work is kind of awkward.

Our guard is kind of getting at each other's throats, because of people sitting out or taking a breather or whatever.

This is unusual to my guard, as far as my experiance goes.
Is anyone else's guard creating much more drama than it seems capable of because of sitting out or anything?

If so, how did you/are you dealing with it?

My opinion on this is:

First off, my guard has a ridiculous amount of passion for what we do and none of us sit out for any reason... other than one girl who had her wisdom teeth out the day before- ouch!-, which was perfectly understandable.
Second, I think that if you have a group that enjoys what you're doing, you should check into your individual problems. Like with your back, see a chiropractor. The girl with mono should sleep while she's home and get some more advice from a doctor... if there's someone who isn't physically fit enough to last a guard show, have them start excercising to up their stamina. With each moment any girl sits out it is detracting so much from the group and the show. A lot of people don't realize that every single girl controls exactly how well the show ends up. sad

i am not in Color Guard, but There are only 4 people in it....4 girls actually, their Trainer is from a College and they don't have a problem, although we wish we had more people, other huge bands have a lot of Color Guard and they do really neat things...*sigh* oh well no personal/emotional problems in ours, just lack of people...

I can understand that. It does cause problems. Like this year our section leader person.. who was a first year flag, but a senior.. but anyway she'd always make excuses about stuff.. It was really retarded.. I'm hoping that this year I can get some power to whoop these girl's' butts into shape.. So anyway I totaly understand.. I hate drama.
