#ColorGuard

[feedingsquirrels]

band camp isn’t learning drill or music it’s blacking out for a second when you stand up too quickly because you haven’t had water in like 13 minutes

Cinder's Romantic Fantasy: BULLSEYE

Adam: (Strangling her) I'm going to fucking murder you, you worthless, human slut!

Cinder: NGH! H-HARDER~!

Jaune's Romantic Fantasy: Colorguard

Ruby: (Eating homemade cookies)

Weiss: (Talking about her day)

Blake: (Snoozing in Jaune's lap)

Yang: (Having her hair brushed)

Jaune: (Enjoying their company, Smiling) Every single one of you is someone I will always love and cherish.

Jaune: *Colorguard Relationship* Sorry for being late, some of the girls were ... uh, rambunctious.

Neptune: Okay, fine, but hearing you talk about your relationship makes it sound like you're drowning-

Jaune: Sometimes it feels like I am ...

Neptune: but I'm dying of thirst over here, How the FUCK do you do it!?!?

Jaune: Well, The Fuck is only part of the relationship-

Neptune: *Flips table, leaves*

Dude I found this video that was making a joke about band directors not letting kids get water after doing a full run of the show etc etc and SO MANY people just wanna feel the need to tell you that baseball and football and basketball and every other sport is harder. A) it’s not a competition B) not saying band (colorguard) is harder but band lot heat is a different kind of heat. When it’s a hundred degrees outside and you are standing on a concrete slab that does nothing but absorb heat all day for hours and every time you make a mistake you have to do push ups on the ground that’s too hot to touch and you have to sprint to your water breaks and resets (and the guard has to sprint to like eight different spots to reset flags). I’m not saying we work harder, but I am saying that it DOES take a physical toll and to think twice before calling it easy. I wanna see you walk to a coordinate that isn’t marked on the ground based on a tiny piece of paper and memorize like a hundred of them, March specific steps in time with 200 other people while playing an instrument/throwing things in the air in a lot that feels like 115 degrees for three hours at a time

Marching band IS a real sport

[lynsstrange]

the marauders as color/winter guard performers headcannons

(For the enjoyment of me and the probably one other person on the platform who’s two niche interests somehow overlap)

James:

Section leader during marching season, team captain during winter season

Takes it VERY seriously

Is the reason they have twelve hours of practice a week, but also the reason they score very high

Everyone hates him the second conditioning comes around, constantly yelling at the team (Sirius) to try harder while they’re doing suicides and across the floors at seven in the morning

Rifle prodigy (he cannot stfu about showing off how many rotations he can do)

The overzealous upperclassman that scares off incoming freshmen

Always the one lending money at competitions for food. Also has first aid stuff, electric tape, hand warmers, and just about anything else the team could be in need of packed

Basically Team Mom ™

Mary:

TECHNICALLY co-captain

Her and James are constantly bickering over whether her position is official (“That’s Mary, our FLAG SERGEANT” “WHAT THE FUCK DOES THAT EVEN MEAN”)

She’s much more involved in flag, doesn’t like weapon as much

A good teacher, but brutally honest to anyone she sees as not meeting expectations

Resident playlist-maker, and has dominion over the speaker in the back of the bus

Is constantly critiquing the show design and advocating for aesthetic cohesion (“the rifles would look so much better if the bolts were taped blue, just saying”)

Sirius:

Is good at weapon, more so sabre

Doesn’t like flag as much, but always gets stuck on solos on it because he’s talented

Manages to miss his drill dot EVERY FUCKING TIME by just a little bit and it sends James into rage

Never really knows the counts, but always in time

Manages to look good even in the shittiest of costumes

Trauma dumps and tells wildass stories in the back of the bus on the way back from late night comps

Constant guard terminology sexual innuendo (“Remus, I need you to strip- your silk, Remus, mind out of the gutter 🙄”)

Remus:

He doesn’t know how he got here

Meaning he got dragged into it by Sirius and James

(Mostly James)

Is basically being held hostage because of his skill- that being that he’s a lot stronger than he looks, so he’s good at rifle when he actually tries

Always has some dusty ass beat up novel in his competition duffle (me)

Late to practice or gone often because he has so many other academic commitments lmao

Always covered in bruises from getting whacked by equipment

Competitive only when it comes to Sirius. (Sirius can do a one handed forty five?? Remus can do a DOUBLE one handed forty five)

Lily:

Marching band historian during fall season

Runs the guard’s social media pages

Organizes all team parties

A STICKLER for team traditions, and makes sure they’re continued on each year

Pretty well-rounded, but prefers flag

Like Remus, only truly competitive and spiteful when it comes to James

All the freshmen love her because she’s a good teacher, and she has a special talent of talking just about anyone into auditioning

Always mad about the state of disarray in the guard room

Peter:

Like Remus, isn’t sure how he ended up here

Isn’t really that great at anything, but he tries real hard

Plays trumpet or smth during marching season lmao

And somehow ended up in guard by peer pressure and a crippling fear of being left out

Marlene:

Weapon NERD

And honestly all around guard nerd

Is almost as enthusiastic as James

She even did baton for a short period of time for fun

Is one of those people who can just whip rifle around in that effortless way (you know the type of person I’m talking about)

Constantly coming to James with feedback about choreography, and they’re always either getting along very well or at odds

Definitely on her way to DCI

Resident makeup helper (she can do a mean cat eye, even on a highway in a school bus)

Maybe at some point I’ll do the skittles or other various characters lol but for now I’m imagining just the in-universe Gryffindors/marauders as one team haha

Sun: Man... It must be nice having a harem. Having a bunch of beautiful women literally & metaphorically throwing themselves at you. How'd you do it?

Jaune: Ahahaha... I haven't slept for the past 3 weeks.

Sun, concerned: A-are you ok-?

Jaune, desperate: Please send help.

Ruby: Wait, why can't we go inside?

Sun: Dude needs his rest.

Weiss: He can get plenty of rest with his girlfriends next to him!

Neptune: Actually, the only one not getting plenty of rest is him. You're all on different cycles and Jaune is awake during all of them.

Blake: That's not right, is it? I mean, he gets a nap in the afternoon, right?

Yang: Er... Not really, since that's when I usually get him during our "workout" sessions.

Pyrrha: And I take up most of his evenings with our nightly sparring, but we're both in bed by midnight.

Blake: ...

Ren: Blake?

Blake: (Sighs) And then I come in for a quickie.

Yang: Really gotta get your midnight snack in, huh~?

Weiss: Honestly, you're all just deplorable!

Sun: Actually, he says you take up most of his time. He feels like you need the most attention out of everyone.

Weiss: (Scoffs) That is not true!

Ruby: Well, I usually have coffee with him in the morning, and that goes on for about an hour. (6-7)

Blake: I spend most of the night with him until about dawn. (0-6)

Yang: I'm working out with him from 'til about dinnertime. (14-18)

Pyrrha: And after dinner is when we're training. (18-0)

Weiss: ...

Nora: So... How long do YOU spend time with him, Weiss~?

Weiss: ... (7-14)

Yang: (Whistles) Damn, you really do take up his time, don't you?

Weiss: I HAVE PARTICULAR NEEDS, OKAY?!

Sun: Hey, hey, keep it down! A man is trying to get his sleep!

Meanwhile, inside Jaune's bed...

[itskandykane]

today was our end of season marching band banquet and there were paper plate awards for like band superlatives AND GUESS WHO WON BEST SECTION.. THATS RIGHT THE GUARD DID WHOOP WHOOP! i’m a liittleeee bit happy that our hard work got recognized, a little. Guard also did our own little paper plate awards and I got Chronic Smile 😁☀️

But like this means it all officially over… and that’s kinda maybe a little bit sad. I’m stoked for next year though!!!

[talkorsomething]

Just curious if anyone knows - for jazz runs (/walks/walk+passe(??)) is the ball of the foot or the heel of the foot supposed to be on the ground on the count?

[angel-wrights]
