BDCP and Drum Corps

[Fezz CB]

I did Color Guard most of the time and was a Twirler for one semester.

Yes, that's right, I twirled a baton... anyone who laughs will get their a$$ kicked!

When i was in band, we had some serious hotness in the guard. So cheers to guard girls and twirlers!!

You are a female, so this is acceptable. If you were a male, we would probably have some serious issues

Plus, I looked cute in the little outfit.

While male twirlers are the pinnacle of non-manly-ness (the antithesis of, say, drum line), male color guard often ROCK. Yes, they can be fruitier than a nutcake, but SO talented. I saw a guy do a rifle routine to "Danger Zone" from Top Gun - I know, I know, but stay with me here - that was freaking amazing.

Why, thank you, Fezz. I'll take this opportunity to lump myself in with the "hotness."

Good luck drumnum... sounds like you get the best of all the worlds, college, DCI, and a commission.

I rolled them all into one, eight years of tuba/sousaphone, then four years of contra for the USNA D&B.

I held a tuba my junior year in high school. Note, I didn't say play a tuba. I can't play a lick of music on anything, let alone a tuba. My only purpose was to keep in step and look good. While everyone else learned their steps to the music, I counted. Kind of like painting by numbers. Anyway, it got me in good with the girls on the color guard.
