Color Guard Academy
United States
Приєднався 16 кві 2020
Welcome to Color Guard Academy. I’m Bryanna, and I’ve been a color guard instructor for over 10 years with middle school, high school, and college color guards. I have had the privilege to learn from some amazing instructors and fellow color guard members who have all influenced my technique and choreography style. However, I know that many band programs do not have the budget to hire full time (or even part time) guard instructors. Part of the reason I decided to create this channel is for it to serve as a resource for color guards without an instructor. In addition, this channel is meant to provide beginners with a way to learn color guard at home, give veteran performers a tool to perfect and grow their technique, and provide a reference of basic skills and exercises for instructors. The art of color guard is an amazing gift to the world, and I hope to inspire and share my passion with others through this channel.

Hello I'm new to color guard and I really love your tutorials, please Continue ❤
We always called it “pull hit” because you pull your hands apart to make the 360 flip and arms stay in position 😊
That makes sense! I like that! Lots of moves have different names with different instructors. ☺️
Thank you for making these videos! My 5 year old twins wanted to know what I did in high school, so I'm showing them color guard. It's been over 2p years, so this is really helpful!
So sweet! You can start them young! 😉 My mom was a color guard instructor when I was born, so I grew up with a love for color guard from a young age too!
mine keeps rolling up😭
Is anyone else just unable to let go of the flag
Me lol we are just now learning our toss for our show and it’s difficult
Try focusing on the toss and release first before you start thinking about catching it. Try tossing it and letting it hit the ground in front of you several times before attempting to catch it. You can even run away or wear a helmet if that would make you feel more confident in releasing it! 😉

Hi! Please post more, your tutorials are really amazing and they help me more :)
i’m new starting color guard and ur videos have helped me a lot
I’m so glad! I hope you fall in love with color guard! ♥️
@@colorguardacademy Had my very first day of tryouts i really hope i make the team
Good afternoon! I am a choreographer from Ukraine. I want to teach children this art. Where can I buy such flags, what standard should they be? And in general, I am very interested in any information for beginners.I will be grateful for help in this matter!🙏❤️
From Bogotá Colombia, thanks for share your talent, you are an amazing teacher, your videos are clearly and funny. Thanks a lot !!!
Thank you so much! I’m glad they’ve been helpful for you! ☺️
At my school we call those flourishes (don't mind my spelling)
That is a common name for this move! ☺️
Those are windmills, back scratchers, or country roads.
Cool names! Many instructors have different names for the same move. Usually each instructor has his or her own unique set of terminology that is important for each guard to know and understand. 😉
As a fairly new coach- some of my teams silk were rolling up and I could not understand why- the epiphany I just had when you explain why. Amazing video. Thank you very much!
I’m so glad it was helpful for you! ☺️
Hello how can I connect with you please
thank you for these videos! I was a sax player and never had anything to do with color guard until my husband got a band director job and he needed me to teach color guard!
Wow! I hope you guys have a great season! And I hope you enjoy it! ☺️

We call it a carousel, in my 8th grade year our routine was mostly these lmao
We call this a toaster turn, for me an around the world means a carousel/backscratcher type thing w an extra spin behind the back. Its my favorite :)
Thats neat cause my school always called it a bagel turn since it stays inside the toaster
I love that name! 🥯
I’ve always struggle with the 1’s in draw spins! This ready helped me understand!
I’m going into color guard next year for school and you vids really help
i hope you enjoyed your first year of flag!! much love

A nice basic move. Thanks!
You’re welcome!
Thank you so much this helped me! I’m a beginner and I’m trying out for color guard in the spring of 2023. Thank you so much!!!!

What a fun name! Many instructors have different names for the same move. Usually each instructor has his or her own unique set of terminology that is important for each guard to know and understand. 😉
So glad I found this channel I'm a freshman trying out for wintergaurd these really help!
Good luck with auditions!!
This is really making me wanna join guard
Do it! You won’t regret it! ☺️
@@colorguardacademy all my band friends have been telling me to and it looks so fun so theres no way im not gonna join
Thank you so much! My silk was getting rolled up and i’ve always wondered why, you helped me so much, thank you!!
I love color guard but i love indoor guard more than outdoor but they are both fun 😂
GREAT video! I love the explanations. I'm sending this to my new students who I can't be with on the first day of band camp.
Can you do a video on a windmill exchange?
I love the video within the video. Very helpful. What video editor was used? Could you do one for speed spins?
I use Adobe Premiere Pro for all my video editing. I’m hoping to do a video for speed spins soon! Thanks for the input!
Got colorguard tryouts today, thank you for the recap!
I hope auditions went well!
@@colorguardacademy they did, I made it!
@@instruellaI need some tips I’m so stressed abt it
You should make tutorials on tossing! I just can’t get my color guard to look the same
I am working on adding some tossing tutorials this summer!
At my school we call those windmills except we keep our arms straight
same
That is a common name for this move! Many instructors have different names for the same move. Usually each instructor has his or her own unique set of terminology that is important for each guard to know and understand. 😉
I miss color guard so bad
You're amazing! Please do more videos, it is very helpful. <3
Is it just my color guard or does any one else’s do present and left slams completely different
Hey I have 20 days to learn everything I need to know to get into JV my first year so thanks for helping
I am so glad I found your channel. My daughter is in the 8th grade and she will be trying out for winter guard and color guard for 9th grade. She has learned so much already
did she make the team ?
Everytime I try this my flag hits the ground I'm also 5ft tall so how would I fix it with it still being correct?
Try holding your arm up a little higher. I’m 5’2,” so I understand!
