yeah, we've had better shows than finals, but i think there was some benefit of the doubt given.

My girls got second.
Not to be offensive or anything to anybody, but I was in the audience and I thought my girls should have gotten first, or second without the multi-point spread. :-\
I think our judges are biased, because the same thing happened to us last year. Except this year there were some past WGI judges that thought the same as us. yeah, some of the guards in our group got jipped too. There were a couple judges who's scores were not even close to being the same as the others. For example on guard got a pretty much undisputed first (all 1st except for a couple) and then there's this random 9th.

yeah, i'm not sure how the breakdown went, but we beat bandmutt's guard by quite a bit. we had the same thing last year when we took second and the 1st place guard move up to SO. oh well, both guards had really good seasons.

I went to gaurd comp recently and saw a gaurd with really awful uniforms. They were wearing torn fishnets and shortshorts with sports bras.They had things like "siktso""serial killer"and "self mutalator" written on their bellys and had their wrists made up to look like they had cut themselves befor the show.It was really disturbing.
I was wondering if this is OK for gaurd uniform.I know i would neve consent to dressing that way.

well i think it kind of depends...first off, was it a high school guard? independent? college? second, if it was fitting for the show. and finally (and unfortunately this does matter to a lot of people), were the girls skinny or bigger? i feel awful saying that, but guard directors have a habit of putting uniforms on people that makes them look awful.

How did you guys do at WGI? didn't even make semi-finals, but that's ok because our coaches said we probably wouldn't since we didn't go to any regionals. ROCORI, Irondale, Eclipse, and Chops didn't make their finals either. got to see some pretty cool shows though.

Hey. I'm going to try out for winterguard. [again..I tried out for winter twice so far and fall once..anyway on from my failures.] I really want to make it this time. We're getting a new coach. Thursday we have this practice thing with her so our BD can see how she works with guard. One of my really good friends is captin [and the only boy on guard] and I have other friends on guard. Is there anyother tips you can give me for trying out?

our wg show is to a male version of oh holy night. we're looking at it fro the view of light/candles instead of religeon. [[cause everyone knows religeon aspect would get us eaten alive.... ick.]] it's amazing. our first competition is early january.
oh and heepwah, don't be nervous. before tryouts really try and get a hang of the basics. [[right/left drop spins, speed and peggy spins, a single stir toss, pull-hits, the angle exercises, and a lot of body work.]] be prepared. maybe get with a couple of your guard friends to train you beforehand so you go into tryouts really confident. =]] that's what i did three years ago.
....and as much as i like the IDEA ofa show like that Frodos, you're right, that is really disturbing. what was the name and class of that guard??

nice crissxcross!! awesome!! we're doing footloose this year =) i love it =] haha.
warning: complaining - we had two girls miss a major practice (not their fault, one had a college audition and the other was really sick) on saturday, we got snowed out monday, and half of the guard is missing tomorrow for band festival. we have a competition saturday. stressing much? we made soooooo many changes, ugh! ok. i'm done. =]

officially two competitions left in my high school career. 4 performances altogether (praying for 5!) (2 competitions, 1 exhibition thing, and we're opening for Special Olympics =D and then I'm praying for finals.)
hey btw - my friend is going to ku next year. =]
