So our guard has a list of ssuperstitions:
Don't split the pole, car, walkway, etc.
Don't eat Taco Bell before a performance.
Don't watch other guard's perform, in your class at least.
Kissing your weapons before you set them for a show is good luck.
and before a performance we say the Lord's prayer and do the hokie pokie.
anyone else do anything like this??

We don't split poles either (or if we do... you have to say "bread and butter" "come to supper")
We also kiss our weapons (and have the rest of the weaponline kiss them)
Don't ride Bus B.

Split poles? What?
We prayed before competitions last year. But it got awkward since our coach is part of the school system and couldn't be around when we prayed.
Our traditions:
- do makeup before calltime... but always end up doing it on the bus to comp's. (now i can freak out my mom by putting on eyeliner in the car =])
- group breathing. lol idk what its called, but the birthing breathing haha (lemaz? something like that i think)
- for the last 15-20 minutes of the bus ride to comp's we pull out a boombox and listen to our show.
wow, this is making me wish i wasn't leaving them after this season. <3 =(

superstitions:
-don't watch the band/guard performing before you
-don't drink pop on a show day
traditions:
-we used to sing "Build Me Up Buttercup" when I was a freshman
-group breathing when we're on-deck
-secret buddy which is similar to secret santa, but you get something (usually snacks and stuff do do on busrides like coloring books) for every show
