To play (an opinionated) devil's advocate:
I believe having an all-female colorguard in a corps that is co-ed is not 'fair'. I was searching for a word other than fair, but couldn't think of one.
Of course it offers an overall different vibe and I think either way, the guard will be talented. However limiting a co-ed corps to an only female guard is forcing young men who have always dreamed of performing there, to audition somewhere else. The fact being 'we are only auditioning females' seems unfair to me.
As someone who dances, why would I not want to be with one of the most 'graceful' colorguards of the activity. A little far fetched, but it is the same as saying 'we are only going to audition those who weigh in at 110lbs or less'
What do you think?
Fair has less to do with it than tradition. The best guards that PR ever put out were all-female (with the possible exception of 08). Regiment is one of the few premier groups that is actually trying to maintain SOME of their traditional roots, and it works for them.
The ladies on the guard are not all "110lbs or less" either, by the way. Truly, some are. But the average guard member now is about 5'6 and likely closer to 140ish lbs or so.

In the video from Akron, they just kinda' stand there and drop the red coats to reveal the blue ... then they carried the red coats over to the right mid-filed and laid them down in what looked like a circle ... hard to tell from the low angle of the video ...
do you have the link to the video? I haven't found one of the actual performance at Akron yet.

You couldn't have gone to Cardinal Stadium and not been impressed. It's one of the best facilities in the US, bar none! Crown had 2 great days of practice time there and improved their show immensely...
