At my guard we just have a 64 count routine, and at one part we did a handstand from our knees, and there was also a roll with a flag, and our show has 0 rolls so I was sad... we didnt have any rolls bc our costumes had white skirts
At my school, we don’t try out for color guard. Anyone from 6th grade to 8th can join our Cadet guard. Anyone above 8th who wants to join guard is put into our A guard, or kids from the cadet guard that are good enough to be in the A guard. Then for our world guard, it’s any high schoolers who are good enough to join. However, we have had 2 8th graders join our World guard before.
Emma Leblanc Tryouts can be different in any school team. They're not going to be exactly like yours. And as this is JUST a youtube clip of it, they probably do know the basics.
Just because they do simple work doesn’t mean they suck. They could be a beginning guard. Or trying to climb themselves out of a hole their former instructors/captains dig them. Just because you’re guard is more advanced, does not mean they suck. Have some compassion when you see guards like these.
