And the way he discussed how a HS guard should move down. He went on too long about it and the tone was less humble than how he normally comes across.... more

When you rewatch some shows afte... more

    I’m new to listening to podcast but having this amazing ColorGuard podcast just makes me so happy. I say I live, sleep, and eat guard. Now it’s complete. Love the fun energy the podcast always gives. Love the different topics and people who you have on.

    Thank you for also reminding all that A CLASS IS THE BACKBONE of our sport. #TeamNY #WinterSkyIA #MYCGC #MAIN
