The Very First Young Lady To Pick Up A Flag SCV 2009

Can anyone tell me who is the very first young lady to pick up a flag in SCV’S 2009 WGI performance? I have been totally captivated by her performance (thank you Fan Network)!!! In my opinion her technique is outstanding AND HER INTERPRETATION (as far as that goes in a performance/activity that is judged on ensemble) IS TOTALLY RIGHT ON!!! This is a young lady, in my opinion, who has a very promising future. My wish is that she can teach as well as she performs. Any CG staff would have an ass… Continue

QUASAR VIDEO BLAST FROM THE PAST,LOVE IT!

Color guard competitions aren't what they use to be. It's clear that today they don't write drill's like they use to, for example I'm from the old-school day's during the 1970's.That's ok, not a shame to reveal my age when color guard was truly color guard. From the Phantom Regiment to the 27th Lancers, Guardsmen etc. My point is that a video like Quasar during the 1978 W G I competition was very exciting and every since Mr. Patrick Vicari posted it on the web I've been watching it over and over… Continue

Same Time, Next Year...

I stepped off the plane just as I had many years before. It was the same time last year it's been the same time for many years. I wonder what experiences I will have what passions I will share. I've been thinking what we mean to each other and what the years have brought. We have shared our lives and our dreams; and passion has been our mantra. Our fears we have shared as we stood together holding hands in the tunnel we call hope. I can't wait to see you my friend and although time will be the v… Continue
