After years of wasting my time with nothingness (actually alot of junk like
soccer, basketball, softball, NHS, class secretary, VP of Drama Club, chairman
of JR/Sr. Prom Committee, etc.) I discovered a sport that brought new meaning
to my life. COLORGUARD!!! Now I was late getting started but when the captains
came up to me at the end of my freshmen year and asked me to try out I thought
"sure, why not??" So I went to the first instruction session before try-outs
and started learning from my great friend Sarah. Well turns out I was a natural
and before long I was on guard and moving up in the ranks. Well Senior year
came and co-captain I was with Sarah and we wrote our work like pros. With
years of winning best colorguard and best bandfront and such, in festivals
around the country and parades around the region I thoroughly enjoyed my years
in East Windsor's Marching Band (EW, CT) as a member of the guard. I went
off to college at Elon College in North Carolina where there was no marching
band and was a little disappointed. It looked like my guard career was over.
Well it turns out with the construction of a new football stadium and the
new name of Elon University, a brand new band was formed, "The Fire of the
Carolinas." So I'm a charter member of the guard at school and hopefully I'll
leading the way again with some position but either way I'm just glad to be
back in the sport. CKA!!!!
