A challenge that I over came was tossing a flag in the Color Guard. I had to learn how to toss my flag from my teacher Mrs. Tomas. She had to teach me how to toss it high enough, so I can prepare to catch it. She had taught me how to toss it right so I can catch it and not hit anyone, and I had to practice a lot, so I can learn the moves, and do them right. It was hard, but I caught on very fast.

I have to go to practice with my Guard group twice a week, and then practice at home for another hour. So the days are long, but worth it in the end when we preform. Mrs. Tomas Said," There are two different kinds of performance That we can do. There is Marching season, which is when we march with the Marching Band in parades. Also There is Winter Guard, and they preform on a stage with flags and riffles." It's hard, but it is
