You are partly right - Relámpago is the spanish word for thunder. It is the name taken by a comic book hero of Mexican-American descent. Emiliano Zapata Salazar also had a horse by that name - this is one of the Mexican revolutionaries who were aligned with Pancho Villa. There is a Puerto Rican wrestler who once use the name El Relámpago but he now goes by the name Konnan.

Research the symbol for the Water-Bearer which we westerners identify with the constellation Aquarius... Your studies should provide you with sufficient inspiration.

Spoke with a college administrator friend of mine about this proposal. He said if WGI initiated a Collegiate-only division or class then his school would more and likely field a competitive winterguard and other schools would also. Otherwise, any groups that march which have his students as members must remain purely independent.

I would amend that to read "Competitive color guard changed drastically in it's first 20 years (~1960 - 1980). The second 20 years, now approaching thirty, not much has changed." What I feel is very few attempt to exist outside of what is considered rubricationally safe.

Fold!

I see your Identity, and I'll raise you Mariah (ca. 1987).

It's the same story in virtually every judges community... We're all human.
