Hope you don't get lonely here. We're a friendly bunch. Just one quick question, what is a colourguard?
BTW the flower of England is a red and white rose.

You seemed surprised at the red and white rose of England. It was a merging of the symbols of the House of Lancaster and York after the War of the Roses. Lancaster symbol was a red rose and Yorkshire was a white rose. Henry VII merged them and started the Tudor period.
Lost Kosmonaut said:Awesome, colorguard! I'm new here too and it seems everybody here's really nice and provides a great welcome, eh? Anyway yeah about colorguard- you're captain at 15? That's great; I did (and will do when I get back) drumline at my high school in the US, and all of us were really well acquanted with the colorguard, 'n supported them at all their competitions.

Erm naw I wasn't captain. I was just ON the drumline, and we were acquainted with and supported the cologuard. But to answer your question, I suggest being kinda tough in telling them what to do, but when somebody has a problem, just take them aside nicely and show them how to fix it. If anybody gives you lip just tell em that you're not really mean but you gotta be strict.The-Beautiful-Roses said:You were a captain? Wow. This will be my first year. How do I get people to do what I want and still make them like me in band camp?
