Spin it to win it

Some people call us guardies, some call us spinners. Its just whatever you prefer I guess!

Of course I will! I'm really sorry that happened. IHope she gets well soon.

Gloves are mainly used to protect you from hurting your hands while spinning weapons. (Because they hurt more to catch than flag) in my experience, they don't make too much of a difference when spinning flag

I have never marched drum corps before and plan to next summer, but I do have some general color guard tips for you! Don't go a single day without spinning, even if its only for a few minutes. You don't want to get rusty, and even skipping a single day can make a huge difference. I would try to learn as many different tosses and tricks as you can because drum corps are very hard to get in to. I think rifle is probably the trickiest piece of equipment to spin well, but even if you can't spin rifle, most corps have flag lines that are just that, so audition for the things you feel most confident about. I don't know a lot about sabre, so I can't really help you there. Also I would  recommend trying to build up strength and stamina by running everyday and making sure to spin everyday because you will need the muscle and stamina to march with a corps! I hope this helps and if you have any other questions don't be shy!

Me: Arms, meet death... I know you guys are familiar with each other
