Colorguard is a feeling. Not neccessarily one that can be explained, like happy or sad, good or bad, but it's a feeling. It's the feeling you get after stepping onto that floor for the first time, and it's the rush that goes through you when you're performing. It's the feeling you get when you come in last place and the tears flood your eyes, and it's the feeling you get when you receive that standing ovation that you've always dreamed about. It's the way you feel hearing your music for the first time, and imagining the way the finished product is going to look. It's the way you feel knowing that you are a part of something GREAT. That regardless of the judges scores or opinions, you have the best guard because of the PEOPLE in it. It's how you feel when graduation comes, and whether or not you are graduating, a piece of you and your guard is missing. It's the feeling you get when you FINALLY get it! When everything finally clicks. When you feel that true sense of unity in everything you do, and knowing that hard work pays off. It's how you feel when you KNOW you're doing what you love, and that even when your guard career is "over," a large part of you will always remember the friendships, the performances, the memories, the good and bad times, and the FEELING that you are a changed person, and that you could never be who you are now without colorguard.
