I know this is kinda late but I'll share my opinion.
You are in a GREAT position for a guard. It may not seem so, because there's not many to help you out, but that just means everything you do will be from ingenuity, not repetitive boring cycles that a lot of scholastic guard get stuck. (I know, I was in 2 such guard myself.)
Get a lot of videos together to spark ideas try stuff. Learn all the basics and then expand on them. In a couple months of determined practice you'll start seeing that everyone is skilled at different things.
Remember that guard is based on a large part from dance, so if you can try and learn a little from a guard or dance instructor (a good one, there is a lot of crap out there.)
How I learned=Practiced my basics so many millions of times that I got bored with it and started try much harder and crazier stuff.
Practice at least on rifle a little so you have some weapon experience, not necessary but it adds a lot.
DRILL DRILL and have fun.
I know this was a while ago and I sure hope I get to hear how everything is going.
