Having been in colorguard myself, could have knocked her out and muscle memory kept her going. Lol. Soooo many hours of doing the same thing
JimmyTheJackal
As someone who's busted his head open twice like that, you don't realize how bad you're bleeding until you touch it or look in a mirror.
skribbly
As a Canadian, I had to google colour guard. Fancy flag waivers. Right?
SwaggedOutCustard
Yeah, usually, in this case, they're used to give the band/corps some more visual appeal.

A crazy dangerous sport. I did it in hs- I've broken bones, constant bruises, and stitches but no regrets!

One of my friends marches sousaphone for crossmen, they are no joke

I auditioned but had to drop because of money. These fuckers go hard.

What is the crossmen colour guard?
SwaggedOutCustard
Crossmen is a Drum Corps which is like pro marching band. Color Guard is a section no the ensemble that focuses on visual performance
whybother
Spinning said flags and sometimes weapons such as rifles or sabres
whybother
They only take brass, percussion and color guard which in a traditional military unit was the people who branded the flag has evolved to 2/
whybother
The crossmen drum and bugle corps is a group that travels the country each summer sorta similar to marching band but at a higher level 1/
mineovermatter
Crossmen? They made imgur? Holy cow.

I knew a captain at the sheriff's department who was honor guard at a funeral and got his face stung by a bee. Just kept on holding the flag

That seems incredibly irresponsible and dangerous for no one to stop her.
MerToo
1, she screwed the entire football team 3 years running. Don't touch her blood. 2, it only takes about a spoonful to look like that, np.
PastaPriest
Flag girls don't date football players, dude. They date the drummers.
MerToo
that doesn't sound like much more guarantee of biosafety.
diregamer
Yeah but you are not a doctor so why should we listen to you. We should just wait for her to run out of blood, wait for it to heal and

replen the blood lost.

Jesus. Fuck marching band. I respect the fuck out of everyone who's in it, but I hated being in it.
WilliamKeith
There is "marching band," and then there is "compete against entire nation for opportunity to spend entire summer marching 8 hours a day."
randomscrubtookmyname
Only 8? Must have been a show day.
TrickyChlovers
Why did you hate it? Color guard for me was one of the only things that made it worthwhile to get up and go to school most days
atgx97
Yeah it's a really enjoyable thing about highschool
Janglex
Me too with pit honestly
wafflesismycatsname
Mostly because of the shit that went down with some people, but also because it can be verrrrry intense and people can be very judgey

Repostradamus
Was it worth It? I knew a guy who was always begging for money sobhe could do it every year. Seemed miserable having to ask for the help.
PastaPriest
And would love to do it, but you're paying in to something so you can work your ass off. Seems like slave labor.
SendMeYourOtters
It's 100% worth it to do it once, but you have to stay grounded when you come back. At the end of the day, it's just band.
YouAreNotYourFuckingKhakis
Payed $1600 when I marched, was worth 1,000 times that...
whybother
My tuition was twice that
ixnay26
I paid almost $1000 just to audition once. Flights and all that, even the audition experience was worth it haha
CreamOfFeast
Completely agree
TryanysaurusRex
100% worth it. Marched Crown, changed my life. Spent most of the season with a pinched nerve in my hip, and wouldn't have quit for anything.
TryanysaurusRex
That was 14 years ago, and I'm still close friends with people I marched with. The work ethic never goes away either.
Repostradamus
I really wanted to do it but couldn't afford it and played the wrong instrument.

Impressive, but realistically she should have stopped.

people saying she should have stopped haven't put hundreds or thousands of hours into one thing.
TheAlmightyThundercunt
Agreed.

Nonononono. This is marching band. *Ahem* This is Drum Corps. You don't stop for shit. You finish the show. then you can vomit/bleed out

TheAlmightyThundercunt
When you put so many hours & effort into a show, the last thing you want to do is stop. I once severely busted my lip and my ass kept going.
FckyourselfSarah
Marching band isn't a contact sport, those rules don't apply.
CharlieSheensSTD
One of our tenors busted his nose when a bass drum bumped into him, kept on drumming with a full flow for 3 mvmnts... this was HS

One of our trombones did that!

grimreapper
I would keep going as well because I know exactly how she feels performing. Just on pure passion for Drum Corps, nothing stands in your way.
ragekritz
Yeah i think everyone watching is going pls stop bleeding from the head is not something to ignore
LukewarmBeans
Be it marching band or drum corps, our band director told us not to stop even if the audience burst into flames.
LukewarmBeans
We once had a kid get a real bad nosebleed on the field and he kept going. You stop, you forfeit.
LukewarmBeans
I puked once two minutes before we went on and decided to play anyway.
BenjaminUDover
There was a player years back who broke their ankle and still marched the finals sets. It's Drum Corps. You leave it on the field. Always.
Ispentthelastfewyearsbuildingupanimmunitytoiocanepowder
Head Injuries bleed profusely regardless of how bad they are.
kcgingerbeard
Yup. Just watch some wrasslin. Small razor blade cut to the forehead instant bloodbath
GrandpaRossysOldManDongs
Eddie Guerrero vs JBL is a prime example. Or any time Ric Flair gigged himself.
NotMyUsualOnlineName
Stone Cold vs Bret Hart. Jericho in his SMW days the night he broke his arm (practicing moonsaults, kayfabe was riding a motorcycle).
Vadered
It's not about how bad the injury is; it's about not getting blood and the associated pathogens on the field/nearby people.
HellomynameisSatan
You missed the part where spreading blood on the feild of battle is bad for millenials.

She may not even have known she was bleeding that much.

Her entire face is red with blood. Her teeth are all red. I'm sure she had an idea
potatnia
Might've felt like sweat.
xanthio
That was my exact thought. Absent lots of pain, you're busting ass in the sun, your first thought isn't going to be blood. Until you wipe it
DahPrincess
I think the rule is; if there's blood on the field, activity stops. You could spread diseases or infections.
hungitalianohwaitthisisntgrindr
dude drum corp is intense as fuck. if you CAN perform i.e. you're not actually dead, you hit every mark until you march off.
DanOrtega
First world thought... Here blood is not regarded as a contaminant that much.

Serious question, not making fun; Where is your "here?"

Mexico; in theory we *are* first world, in practice, we are one accident away from Soviet Russia.

Wow, I can definitely see that. And also how there are more pressing concerns in your country than the bleeding face of a ColorGuard member.
CANADIANMIST
I thought the rule was; If there's no turf on the field, play in the mud.

medicine or something that'll push the whole of humanity forward. Beating the drum just doesn't seem all worth while to me, please show me

Well, my life consists of more than marching band. However, learning music has been proven to be beneficial, and it's a good workout.
KeeleonOhms
Spending time on imgur isnt very "worthwhile" either....
IWasFatOnce
In this sense, treat it more like a competitive sport. They train for hours on end, compete, and earn a final score. Any pro athlete would
IWasFatOnce
Do the same for the team and to ultimately win. Plus drum corps peeps are fucking intense people.
