This time of the year has officially become the hottest and busiest time of the year for me... yet again. You see, I was asked by a friend to assist her with the local high school color guard earlier this year. It's been awhile since I've worked with color guard, but I did get really excited at the offer.

I think once you're a guardie, you're always a guardie. It doesn't matter how long it's been since you've picked up a flag, the spirit of color guard stays with you. Just mention drop spins and jazz runs and watch the eyes of anyone who has ever twirled light up.

So I thought for this WTF Friday I would share some color guard humor with you all. For the next three weeks, I'm going to be suffering on the band field helping with drill and tweaking routines. When I'm about to collapse in this scorching heat, I know I'll be thinking of this post.

Ha! I was a band weenie and we were also wondering why the football team was on our marching field!

Have fun. Stay cool.

I was a band geek. Oh, how I hated those hot practices in the summer. Have fun!

I played the flute in fourth grade and marched in the Memorial Day parade. Did you ever try marching and playing the flute at the same time? It's harder than walking and chewing gum.
