It's REALLY been a while...

and I have a bit of a story to tell. I recently was presented with the opportunity to become the Color Guard director at a high school near my college. I thought over it and decided I need to start somewhere and this is a GREAT place to start. It's going to be their first year of having color guard so I get to start from square one. 

Oddly enough, it is already a bit of a challenge. I am super excited to get started to I have already been looking at uniforms and silks and poles, etc. And I realized I have so many unanswered questions and things that go on behind the scenes that I have no clue about! Luckily, I have my mom and a lot of color guard friends to help me out. 

Long story short, I realized, though there are many helpful blogs out there about teaching color guard, none of them really tell you everything about starting up one brand new. I get that most high schools already have a colorguard and equipment and everything so I get why there isn't a fair amount of "How to get Started Blogs" but I think there should be. It would definitely help me. SO, I am going to make one. And I think it may be partially a "vlog" to be all futuristic and what not. 

So, sorry for disappearing for a year, it's been crazy, but I will be trying to keep up now.
