This is my last season of colorguard after 2 years of it... what are some of the best memories...
- that buzz you get during a performance, a crawl of coolness across your skin when you know you're being watched.
- actually feeling the music pull you into a sensuous draw, being swept into the undertow of notes.
- catching a perfect toss, that HA! feeling when the music bursts and you feel like your heart is slamming 90 miles a second.
- being part of such a group of being, from all different backgrounds and thoughts and trials, and having a connection with each one that's unique.
- the injuries that fade but the stories that go with them that don't. "Hey, remember when I got that scar on my back..."
- spinning everything in your spare time, even without realizing it.
- the excitement of trying on new uniforms, whether or not you're pleased with them.
- that plunging despair of a low score or that infinite high with a great one.
- holding hands with a teammate whilst waiting for the scores to be announced, tense, anxious, only to scream and hug ten seconds later when it's announced we've moved on.
