Colorguard!!!! It's my absolute love and I'm so glad I was introduced to it because I'm pretty sure I would've offed myself by now if not for guard.  Also dance, I did it for years when I was little then had to stop when my dance studio moved locations and my mom didn't want to drive an extra 15 minutes for my dance lessons, but the experience I did have helped me a lot on guard and this year we got a dance director who's the daughter of someone who's danced and taught in the Houston Ballet so it feels like my dance years all over again. Love love.

I did marching band in high school (pit percussion) and college (alto sax), by far my favorite outdoor activity ever. Now the only way I could still do it if I wanted was DCA cause I'm too old for DCI and graduated college. I got to march in Macy's and play at Penn State and Fenway Park which were unreal experiences.

I would absolutely LOVE to do DCI and WGI and I've had my director and a few others offer to sponsor me some money but there's just not enough funds for me to march, its the one thing in the world I absolutely want to do but I just can't afford it at the moment, I'm hoping to save up enough money during my first year of college to march and I'm gonna beg and plead to my mom to spot me some money because it's just something I've fallen in love with and I don't want it to end this year.

There is an open class DCI corps based near where I grew up, so I've had a lot of friends who have done that one. Open class would be a good place to start, and you could possibly get sponsors through that if you wanna go WC. I'm not sure if you've chosen/applied to college yet but plenty of universities/colleges have great bands too.

Omg update, my mom agreed to help me pay for DCI fees so I’ll be auditioning in October to hopefully march in 2019, and there’s only two corps I know of in Texas and they’re both world class and I’m hoping to make it into Crossmen
