Color guard works just as hard as other sports, so it really hurts when people hate on color guard. Not only people who aren't in band hate on us but also people in the marching band hate on us. It seems like they think we don't work as hard or care enough. They seem to think that we purposely try to pull down the band score. Well, we don't. We try just as hard as the band, sometimes more than the band. It is hard for us. You can usually only start in guard when you get to high school. Most schools start offering band in middle school and sometimes even before. So, we have to stat from the very beginning and learn everything in the same time as you. You would think that after all this work we would be thought of of just the the band. Well, sometimes guards do but sometimes we don't and it hurts when we don't. I am not saying that the guard deserves extra money or extra recognition but it would be nice if our own band thought of us as equals instead of kind of equals. I would just like to be though of just as good as someone in the band, not less. I might seem like I don't care or I let my section do whatever but I am trying as hard as I can to be a good leader and if you don't think that is good enough then you are not worth my time. All I am saying is treat the guard just like you would treat the band members.
