I was planning on having a conversation with guys about this on Tuesday, but this is just so you REMEMBER...
Varsity told me some things that you guys were doing during the competition (including those of you who have done this before....SHUN) that were completely inappropriate for competition etiquette.
1. Absolutely NO food fights. You guys are well beyond that age. You cannot be making messes for someone else to clean up. Be mature.
2. NO spinning outside of warm up areas. The only time you guys will bring your equipment with you around the school is when we're getting ready to warm up/perform. We could be disqualified for spinning outside of the "transit" process.
3. On a side note of the previous, I NEVER want to see you guys use rifles as "guns" or sabres as "swords"....like I said at the competition it SCREAMS "NEWBS"; honestly, I've seen guards/bands do that with their weapons, and I completely lose respect for them...they are not toys. We use them for our art, not to goof off with...you may as well be some jerk who decided to raid the guard closet who thought he was funny. It's not funny. DON'T DO IT.
4. There is to be NO screaming around the hallways of the school, no goofing off of any sort. Other guards/WDLs notice this. Think about what that says about our guard. What it says about Lulu and myself. You think that's fair?
5. Remember to travel in groups of three, I know Lulu and I aren't Mckee, but it's for "safety purposes".
6. ALWAYS respect other WGs/WDLs and their property. They work just as hard, if not harder, to put on their shows too.

And your actions follow the Varsity and Drum Line. How is it OK for your actions to affect the other 50 people involved in this organization? Think before you act JV. You are not the only group from Tigard.
ReplyDeleteIf you can't behave like young adults, you will no longer be welcome on our trips without your parent with you at all times. Think about that.
