Also, perhaps give BOA a call? Maybe they have an average on what a BOA band rehearses? What about your own guard experiences? Look at your rehearsal schedule and figure it out. Good luck!

SBrancheau Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 Mason: If you can, go to an individual drum corps' website and look at their rehearsal schedule (most are probably online) and do the math that way. C'mon! You gotta do some leg work on your own! Sal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DutDutOut Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 Hey Mason, I would start by asking yourself, what defines a sport. You need to make a list of requirements that an activity should meet in order to be considered a sport. Then put colorguard into those questions and show how they meet those criteria. It is hard to find a definite history about the development of the winterguard activity. I know because I had to write a 15 page paper on the topic. Also Catina Anderson has a website that is really helpful. The name escapes me at the moment but she is the director at Broad Run High School and you are competing there this weekend. See you there!

xXThRowTHeFlaGXx Posted February 19, 2008 Author Share Posted February 19, 2008 (edited) Its cool no hard feelings :) Sorry sometimes you cant hear peoples tones over the internet. But I got a issue of WGI Focus from Fall 2007 which has really helped cuz it had the amount of people at Dayton and a big artlice about the history of WGI. I have found some news articles from DCI member interviews and such so yea. Everythings going great! Thanks for the help :) Oh just one question I wasnt sure. Was the first winterguard an all male guard? I cant find any info on the very first colorguard/winterguard -Mason Edited February 19, 2008 by xXThRowTHeFlaGXx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
