ATXGUY Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 Man, if I were a guard member and reading this, I'd at first maybe feel somewhat flattered but objectified at the same time. Then seeing all the comments about 'corps goggles' and '50 yard Fakeout', I'd feel truly offended. I think more and more attractive girls at high schools where they have great/winning guards are choosing guard over drill-team these days. They realize you can be beautiful and do something with more mental demand and skill required. Just from personal observation, it seems that we are progressing as a society, and girls and women realize that now the cool thing to do is to be pretty AND smart and empowered. I think you are accurately seeing beautiful guards these days, both guys and girls. Sorry to be a buzz kill. But seriously, there are corps members that read these after they go home from marching a summer. We want to welcome them back with positive things to say. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were just on tour for a whole summer.... they've hear much worse. Probably from their instructors. It's just a bunch of fun. And everyone knows about tour goggles. And if they are coming on DCP they should know already it isn't all sunshine and roses on here. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What part of the country still has drill teams? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATXGUY Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 What part of the country still has drill teams? They are certainly still alive in Texas, and I'm sure in many other states. Question, in what state do you live? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skevinp Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 I'm sure guard members get hit on all the time. The least people could do is use theme-appropriate pickup lines, such as: Spirit - What are the odds of you and me getting together? Blue Knights - You're not from around here, are you? Madison - Wanna see some pictures of an exhibitionist? Cadets - When can I unwrap my present? Phantom - Is that a sword or are you just unhappy to see me? 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ElSuarez Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 They are certainly still alive in Texas, and I'm sure in many other states. Question, in what state do you live? California. They were never big in Northern California and have pretty much have died out in Southern Califonia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grandpa Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 Blue Devils - My hovercraft is full of eels. I wonder how many non-dinos will have to look that one up? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
