No pain no gain is an understatement Pushups are a form of punishment You respect your captains every single day And trust your choreographer to lead the way You leave the field sweating, makeup in your eyes A fire burning in your heart... and in your thighs Practice every day, dripping with sweat That six-foot pole no longer a threat Working hard to be the best Every weekend is your test   You gain new family and friends With each other till the very end Bonds that last all year People to project all your fears This is where you throw it all down Because in the band, you're the crown You make the show And you need to know To hold your head up high And don't you dare be shy Cause the countless hours you have spent Can't be bought with any cent Cause Denise's bleeding hands And Beave's constant demands Always changing Always rearranging Working hard to make the show great Making sure to keep your posture straight This. Is. Colorguard. Which will always have a place in my heart

This was a prompt from a good friend of mine. Colorguard is also known as Flag Corps and other fun names.  Beave is our band director and Denise is the Colorguard sponsor/choreographer/guard mom.
