Western Carolina color guard track

Jenna survived 5 days of color guard camp.  There was a lot of dancing, many steps, and countless tosses during this week.  The camp was held on Western Carolina University campus.  They got to sleep in the dorms and eat at the cafeteria.  There were 459 students at the camp.  In the color guard track there were local  schools as well as out of state students totaling 49 campers. 
They started each day at 8am for breakfast and ended it with lights out at 11pm.  They played games, had a dance one night and on Tuesday Carolina Crown came and played for them.  Carolina Crown is a drum corp band that placed World Champion International 2013.  
Today we got to see the showcase that spotlight all the tracks.  We got to see the drum majors, brass and woodwinds, 2 drum lines, and the important track the color guard.

Jenna is using the hours for her senior project and a few new tosses for this coming marching  band season. 

She did sleep all the way home after getting her hamburger and large sweet tea.





Western Carolina Summer Symposium

We took Jenna today to Western Carolina University for a 5 day color guard camp.  The Pride of the Mountains Marching band is hosting this summer camp.  This week will be packed full  of life changing experiences and building meaningful relationships all through the outstanding power of music.  During this week Jenna will learn choreography in flag, rifle, and body/dance.  The goal of this camp is to have students leave as better colorguard performers and leaders in their own guard program.  Jenna is also using this as part of her senior project.  She is working on choreographing a part of a song for  TC guard this coming marching band season.  She hopes this camp will help her learn new steps and ideas that can be used.
