My thirteen year old sister called me a few hours ago.
She wanted to know my opinion on the colourguard in a marching band, since I was in the marching band in high school. She is in middle school currently, and plays the clarinet in concert band. She is curious about trying out for colourguard, and potentially doing colourguard in high school, instead of marching with her clarinet.
More importantly, she wanted to know if colourguard members are just “fat girls in spandex”.
I cannot lie. I had to say yes.
