Welcome to Gaia! ::

hey im still in color guard. but what i want to know is why you quit??????????? i mean like thats just letting you whole team down plus what else are you going to do you stayed in it for 3 years and you liked it through out but then you just quit. they probably won't be able to find more members before marching season starts up again. so basically your just giving up. hope you join back up with your band. heart

i almost quit last year. our instructor quit after the fourth of july parade, and we didn't have one til a week in to school. they got a really good guy who PWNS but the work he wrote sucked and was too repetitive. then we got a tech to sit in class with us, but it turned out being a group study thing. fish year i lettered in guard, but last year i barred in band. i really wanted to quit, and we didn't even have a winterguard. but now our tech last year is our instructor, full time :3 so waiting payed off. but the band seriously almost lost all of it's upperclassmen guard members. and a team of fish would really suck. XD

I had to quit this year because it wasn't giving me the fine arts credits I need to graduate... crying

I miss it though.
My coach said they miss me. 3nodding

There has been a time every marching season so far that I have thought about quitting guard. It's always a time when tempers are high and things aren't going right and I'm sad that I have to miss out on having a life because there is always practice or a competition. I was actually at that point for the last week or so. But yesterday at practice we were all sitting around laughing and our coaches were making vague references to our winter show which we will be taking to Nationals this year and I realized that I would miss this way too much if I quit and it's worth the stupid petty stuff you have to go through first heart

Its always normal to have that handful of members that quit, but their motives are exactly up to us to question, I mean its your life right? :]

I've been in both band and guard since the 8th grade, and I've had my doubts about both. I've come close to quitting band, but decided to stick with it for a while longer.

Sure it does effect the rest of the team, after a member quits, but it effects the team in worse ways when they still have someone sticking around that doesn't want to be there and drags down the others. Guard isn't exactly cheap either, so why pay to do something that makes you unhappy?

I was going to quit the Drumline this year because the person who is capitan fails at life. she is a total B*#%h and doesn't know how to play any of the drums on the line accept bass (thats what she plays) she tried to have us march to a cadence thats in 3... thats how bad she is. she has absolutly no respect for anyone on the line and expects us to hang on every word of hers. she doesn't let everyone know when things are happening, then gets angry at us for not showing up. but i decided that I wasn't going to quit because my sister is the Drum major and if the capitan ever did anything really stupid, i could let her know and she would take care of it. and she did the few times that that did happen. we finished our last game, so all we have left in the marching season is the parades that we will be in (only 2 left) then the band is handed over to the director (who is the capitan's mother, but is way better about stuff. she actually knows the instroments, and doesn't pretend to know the ones she doesnt.)
Its my senior year as well, which is exactly why i didn't quit. its my last year, and the under classmen in the band look up to the seniors, what kind of example does it set if i quit because of a feud with one person? section leader or no?

i couldnt quit. if i did i would have no life what so ever xp
