My teammates and I were all scattered
around a large field along with the entire

the instructors stood on a large podium
and spoke into microphones to direct
us around in formation; rehearsals were
taken very seriously.
As the color guard instructor,
Amanda, barked corrections and insults

to stay focused and attentive. Before I

Suddenly I heard my name: “Andie,
what is wrong with you? Why do you
look so mad?”
Embarrassed about being called out
in front of everyone, I yelled back, “It’s

The whole corps erupted with
laughter; Amanda was not amused. That
