Flag Basics

[@xoxoanirenee]

when they aren’t doing color guard try outs this year so you’re automatically in but you have no idea what you’re doing so you binge a bunch of these videos on youtube a week before you start update: i’m in my third year of color guard now and i’m so in love with it. i have a small solo this year and i’m so excited.

[@arlyn6310]

LMAO ME TOO OMG I should’ve joined freshman year last year but

[@xoxoanirenee]

Arlyn BAHAHAHA i’m currently in it and sucking so bad

[@arlyn6310]

ani? They told me they’ll let me know when I can pick up a flag so I guess I’m in? But I literally know nothing and idk where to start HAHA but like what’s going on with urs?

[@xoxoanirenee]

Arlyn honestly not doing the best but the vets are very helpful and i was considering quitting a few days ago but i’ve decided to give it another shot i’m just hoping enough practice will make perfect. also my band season literally got cancelled so we’re doing no competitions but the band director is still making us learn a routine

[@bvnny1379]

I have a class in a few hours, and I forget everything so fast. I dont wanna bring the team down. I dont even have my flag yet, I have to use my broom 😩

[@agapelove1111]

My son is 4 years old, Autistic, and nonverbal. He is playing with a flag from our bicycle trailer, and he just did a maneuver that was impressive. He flipped it around, and tucked it under his arm, keeping the flag in the perfect angle, in a military fashion. I am totally floored! Where did he learn this? 🤔

I just started color guard and was having trouble learning. I learn better at home through practice instead of in groups, I looked for videos but this is the only one that helped. thank you so much. Hit the subscription right away!

[@Tbh_notsinjin]

Thankyou so much for ths tutorial because im gonna join flaglet next year and if i didn't find this vid i would be struggling with the flag!

[@ollie2111]

This is a very helpful tutorial! I dropped out & was never athletic or sociable or anything but I'd always thought color guard with flags and all that looks so pretty and fun. Would love to get a pride flag and learn some of these tricks someday.

[@so1arsystem866]

You totally should!

[@ollie2111]

@@so1arsystem866 aww thank you :) well I've put the tutorial in my crafty playlist so hopefully someday

[@meow.-meow]

i'm 2 years late but that's exactly what i'm doing!!!! omg

[@ollie2111]

@@meow.-meow that's okay, I still haven't done it. But it's nice to think about how cool it looks again. You should totally go for it!

[@nikki_3109]

Imma be honest give u, I’ve been practicing this a lot, but still kinda hard for me cause all the moves are right handed and I’m a lefty T-T

[@carinasanchez300]

Nikki ಠ_ಠ you usually start with your right hand then you start learning with your left hand. So you’ll be fine.

[@rachaelernst4966]

I'm a lefty too

[@Kelpoflakey]

in the end you’ll need to be able to do everything with both hands so don’t give up

[@Arcane_Industry0420]

This is interesting so see cause the way my coach is teaching me these is so much different and harder to do but these are much easier to work with, so glad I found this video

[@DaWeirdoKoala]

I went to my first guard practice ever tonight and I'm super excited to join my new school's color guard! I brought home a flag so I'm probably going to try out some of these techniques tomorrow :)

[@Juppy_ter]

Freshman trying out for winter guard next week // this video seriously is helping me with the hand and arm movements tysm🙏

[@RosePichay]

Theese steps are so easy 😂❤❤❤

[@josh.ronquillooo]

Hello, I'm trying out for color guard this spring and this really helped thank you :)

[@PanFroggo14]

I hope you made it in! I just tried out for mine and made it

[@LemonDrops_]

@@PanFroggo14 is it worth it? I got invited to do it for marching band season and I have little experience

[@saowerpatchkidzz]

ik probably nobody will see this, but im rly confused with the maneuvers around 4:25 . I can’t seem to get the whole direction thing right, if anybody has any tips plz give them !!! Thx!!

[@delia5737]

I’m trying out for winter guard and I have no prior experience with it. I have marched before but I don’t know how to spin a flag.

[@marymccabe5774]

Young, but a very good teacher!!

[@rofaye8777]

Can you list the names of the basic moves?

[@margowilson3065]

I just started rebuilding the color guard program at my local high school and this is going to be so helpful to them

[@chair547]

I'm a pitling and a music theorist, I even have some experience marching cymbals, so I have at least a cursory understanding of what's going on basically everywhere on the field but the guard has always been a bit of a mystery for me. I'm trying to learn what the deal is with color guard so I can write an entire marching show.

[@RosePichay]

Omg thank you I did it❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩😍😍😍😍

[@Micahyujinofficalhuzz]

I am going to do color guard in high school but I wanted to practice early lol

[@victoriahatch2022]

Hello I don’t know if anyone will see this but I just got my first practice today and I think it’s really heard dose anyone have any tips for how maybe I could do better i am having trouble with moving the flag around with my hand

[@katrinatalei9004]

It will get easier with practice, it was probably hard because you’re just not used to it yet

[@1keico]

omg thanks so much i’m gonna the only sophomore beginner and I don’t wanna look silly 😭

[@Addyskates09]

Very helpful for beginners but I do have to correct some things. First of all your butterflies…. You did something called a double butterfly not a butterfly. When you go into one you step to the side and turn your entire body and stay in something called your toaster for a smoother and proper butterfly. Next your “mace” it is properly called an extension.

[@victoriabennett8558]

every guard is different and calls things different things, she is not wrong

[@karsamr9196]

Thank you.... Color guard isn't a thing in my country but I'm learning to teach my students a short routine. What advice do you have for the flag size and material?

[@TrillJohnnyVlogz]

Hii I kinda want to learn how to do colour guard but I don’t know where to get a flag/pole. Any suggestions that are relatively cheap or reasonable?

[@Mr_easybake69]

Ebay is a good place to start but there is no guarantee that they are in good shape.

[@sporksarelife8617]

I got myself a flagpole flag and gloves on bandshoppe for 50 dollars including shipping

[@bvnny1379]

What are the names of the parts of a flag poll again? I tried looking it up, but it seems like Google/KZbin doesn't know what I'm asking 👁👄👁 Edit: Nvm, google images got me 😌

[@PanFroggo14]

Do you have any tips on dropspins bc my flag always wraps up when I’m doing them

[@harper.la.vegano]

Stop twisting your wrist when you grab it.

[@jfjfjffifieofwfos]

i have to do color guard for jrotc and i have no clue what im doing

[@crystalorbs3668]

all i can notice is the broken window in the backround and the fact her window is low to the ground...assuming her house is partial "buried" 😅🤣🤣🤣🤣 But tysm for the basics this really did help me

[@ana7icia]

thank you for this :)

[@lotsofbeansroundhere]

This is HARDDD! Thankyou, I’m trying out for 8th grade. (My local Highschool is letting 7th graders try out for next year!! We get to be in homecoming and everything. Prayers that me and my bestie will make it. 🩷🩷)

[@savanalindsey6822]

What size pole do you use?

[@yikes4501]

I'm gonna guess 6ft because that's what most bands use;

[@sid4346]

So do you think I could tryout with having little experience? I really want to be I don’t wanna make a fool out of myself.

[@margaretcook2567]

How tall is your flagpole?

[@alyssamckinnon3012]

You did a inverted flourish idk if that’s how you do it that’s just from my point of view

[@makpowell8550]

How long should a pole be?

[@harper.la.vegano]

6 ft

[@zlexkr]

[@blaizedrose9886]

at my high school, butterfly is different....?

[@rachaelernst4966]

yea her butterfly was horrible

[@yikes4501]

Then do it the way your school does it?

[@itsminee_neyeon]

I want flag for sale what name of the flag

[@emilydominguez9333]

omg why is my flag so huge :(

[@trinsheppard2690]

I hate how it is mirrored so when her left hand is up I think it is the right 🤦

[@KatieHurst]

Your butterfly is very different from the one I learned, which is alternatively a Windmill, looks like your first trick but your second hand mirrors and takes it from behind the head. Cool to see the differences!

[@katrinatalei9004]

Literally exactly the same

[@barbaraburleson7166]

[@luciaescobar596]

your doing the butterfly wrong

[@luciaescobar596]

after you bring it to the side, you do extensions left to right and then you bring it to the side again.

[@gjenkins2726]

Some people do them different according to how they were taught. I did mine differently. So maybe there's no wrong way. I was in flag corp/ color guard for 6 years and did it the same way every year. My senior year, I was made captain and I continued to teach the new girls the same way. It seemed easier.
