WHY DID MY HANDS DO THAT 😭 And I tossed it so much higher than needed lol #colorguard #winterguard #marchingband

A knee 7 to start off your week 🕺🏽 ft. @Halima doing her hair in the back lol 😂 SUCH A FUN SPIN SESSION WITH JASON AND HALIMA LAST NIGHT! 😭 Always so refreshing spinning with people. Thank you to everyone that came and chatted on the livestream! #colorguard #winterguard #marchingband #drumcorps #guardtok

trick (series) tuesday 🌀 #NOTafailthistime #colorguard #winterguard #marchingband #guardtok 📚 Tutorials, courses, and tons of educational colorguard content available on TGWS Academy! 📚

#onthisday so many years ago, Hailey’s strap was broken lol Still one of my favorite videos, to this day. 💀😭 These students were so fun, so driven, and always so ready to learn new things! Though every student in this video has now graduated (since this is actually back from like 2019), it’s always wonderful when things like this pop up. The trips down memory lane are always so scenic. 💚 #colorguard #winterguard #marchingband #trick

Hope you’re enjoying your Sabre (hilt) Sunday 🤪 RIP to my left hand. 🫲🏽 Colorguard be hurtin’ but it’s so damn fun 😩 Lol Tomorrow starts 11 weeks (😵) of traveling between lots of private (& some public) spin clinics, corps camps, choreography camps, technique camps, band camps, and some shoots. 🕺🏽 Gonna be a wonderful summer! ☀️ Also, an audio editor, metronome, standalone AI Guard Box, and team feedback (for instructors) has been added to TGWS Academy to enhance your learning experience. Enjoy the fun tools! Much love to everyone learning how to spin! 🏳️ Soak up the last bit of May 🌸 and best of luck to everyone who has moved in for drum corps already! 🏳️ #colorguard #marchingband #drumcorps #winterguard #sundayfunday

some flag for your Sunday 🏳️ 45’s off the left feel weird af lol 🫠 wanted to do a lil something after recording some client choreography. Having a lot of fun diving into characters this year for choreography too; some really cool styles & themes that I rarely get to spin within! Hope every instructor, choreographer, and designer out there in the start (or maybe even the trenches already lol) of writing season is finding themselves inspired! 💃🏽🕺🏽🏳️ #colorguard #marchingband #drumcorps #choreography

#onthisday last year we were doing ASMR 🎧 #colorguard #winterguard #drumcorps #marchingband

Happy Trick Tuesday! 🕺🏽🏳️ #colorguard #winterguard #drumcorps #marchingband

#onthisday I was twirling to @Yung Gravy 🍯🤪 #colorguard #marchingband #dance #rotc

Replying to @Charlotte Hewlett same 😭🤺 #colorguard #marchingband

“a man does a 10 over a sign but doesn’t catch tip 😕” #colorguard #winterguard #marchingband #drumcorps

#onthisday I was twirling with @Zachary 🥹🏳️ Still one of my favorite phrases ever with one of my phavouret people ever. Miss these spin sessions and seeing those nails every day! 💅🏻🖤 Hope you’re having a blast at 👻🤍 #colorguard #marchingband #drumcorps #winterguard #guardtok

#onthisday we hit ourselves 🥴 #colorguard lol

A moment from the Mountain West Leadership Institute last week in Utah! 🖤 All the performers were SO fun to work with and this is just a small snippet of the class as they were starting to learn this skill. 💡 One of the hardest things to do when adding a more advanced skill onto something you already know, is NOT changing the base skill. 🤔 In this case, it’s a lever toss; the toss itself is so, so floaty, but adding the catch under the leg makes everything feel like it NEEDS to move faster, when in reality it’s the body AFTER the toss that changes. 👨🏽‍🏫 Instructors, when you get to something of this nature, because it happens A LOT, it's important to have this conversation and instill this mindset with your team so they have the correct tools to work on things at home; the less (surprise) variables, the better. You will inevitably have tricks that you DO have to change something about the base skill, but this is not one of those tosses! This is a great trick to start talking about this on though, since it's base skill, the lever toss, is relatively small! (And thank you so much to Rosie for capturing this moment! 🥹) #colorguard #marchingband #drumcorps #winterguard #banddirectors

Throwback Trick Tuesday 💀 #colorguard #winterguard #drumcorps #marchingband #onthisday

After LIVE session roll 6! 🕺🏽 So ready for outside colorguard 😩👏🏽 Thank you to everyone that came on my LIVE tonight— it’s been a while! 🖤 Was fun chatting with y’all! #colorguard #winterguard #marchingband #drumcorps

it didn’t have to hit me twice though 😭 @Jason Mathis #colorguard #winterguard #marchingband #drumcorps #fail

I highly recommend trying this with any standard toss! 👀 It’s been a PHENOMENAL week with Choctaw! 🥹 Excited for one more day with this team. Also, this was some technique work I did after Choctaw’s colorguard camp today. Really working on my shoulder dip, not moving so fast out of my plié (hence my defecation stance 😭), and the LEANNN to catch (which happened a little in that first one 🥴) I try to do tech work every couple of months to reset my technique and flush out the bad habits that may have formed. #colorguard #winterguard #marchingband #drumcorps #guardtok

you already know what equipment this was from 😭 My last day of Tech Camp with Yukon! So proud of all of these wonderful students for pushing themselves so much these last 3 days. Pushing through (minor) injuries, bruises, and pain is literally one of the hardest parts of this activity— but knowing when to sit down and give your mind, body, and space a second so you don’t injure yourself further, is sometimes even harder! To everyone spinning through tech camps this week, you got this! 💪🏽 1 more day of getting better with them! 🏳️ #colorguard #winterguard #marchingband #drumcorps

Can you tell spring is my favorite time of year? 😂🏳️ 👋🏽 This is when we meet new spinners, start learning new skills, and get ready to welcome the new wave of performers into the activity! ➕ Your program is most likely holding some type of audition, and this is where those first moments of peoples time in colorguard begins! I challenge you to find ways to help support your new friends and teammates as they learn the ropes! This could be offering guidance throughout auditions, helping them rep things on breaks, or even just offering an eye at any point! These things could be a game changer for someone stepping into the room for the first time! 👏🏽🏳️ Also, this video is a whole mess. 😂 YES, that is a mini flag. Lol so much laughter always with my love. Shenanigans with @Halima are the highlights of my days. 💕 Hope everyone is having a wonderful start to May! 😁 #colorguard #marchingband #drumcorps #fail #challenge
