Save The Guards

guard is a relatively misunderstood sport/art as you all may know. It is made up of an underground organization of band geeks and guard chicas. Many of the "normal" people (as we refer to those non band/guard people) have a twisted view of what band and guard is all about. Odds are if they dont know somone that is in guard they have noidea what goes on ,,, the hard work,,, the dedication,,, the pride. People think its just some dumb club that a bunch of loser do. Well THEY ARE WRONG!! the time to just sit back and ignore the ignorant haspassed !

SAVE THE GUARDS!!!

How do we do that??? We need to spread the word. The more people who know about guard the better. People fear what they dont understand! and the only way to break the barrier between us and them is through education.


this was an entry in my guestbook,

This entry inspired me to get all you guard people out there together and get involved. Spread the news about guard!
