We have never had a guy on guard, but I think that would be really cool. Our school's sort of stereotypical in that way, we've only had like, two guy flutes, and a few girl trumpets and trombones.

our center drum major, tuure, started guard this wg season. he's great. he's on flag line. the judges were astounded when they heard that he like just started. =]] our director thought that she might lose him to the color guard when fall comes around.

Well for winterguard this year we had 5 guys because we needed some to look military because our show was Pearl Harbor there was only one guy that was gay. So i don't think all guys in guard our gay i think it's pretty cool

I've marched with at least 8 gay guys over the years. I'm not really sure what the big deal is. They are talented individuals just like anyone else.

I have nothing against gay guys, I just don't like the stereotype that any guy who dances or spins (or a slew of other things) must be gay.

we had a guy on our winterguard last year. he was our band drum major... he decided that he wanted to try it out, and no, he is not gay (that we know of. lol) he could do things a LOT easier than the rest of us, but the hardest part for him was looking graceful. that seems to be the hard part for most straight guys i have seen learning guard. that takes practice for anyone, but guys have to work a little harder. it seems fair to me, if the work is easier for you, surely there has to be some sense of balance... congrats on your five. be sure you are working on technique also. a lot of guys can throw tosses once they try, but be sure that they are solid. it is a lot more impressive.

we have a guy in my college guard. turns out he's not gay (we sort of asked him awkwardly). the band has dubbed him Color Guy Brad.
