What I do.

Some of my friends wonder what i do during the weekend. I would say I go for practice, when they ask what kind of practice, I would say, "hmmm... dance", afraid that I have to explain more. No, I don't do that now, because I need to let some of them know what is that exactly. I spin flag, we call ourselves flag bearers/twirlers, talking about what we are recently preparing for, is a charity performance in Negeri Seremban, with a marching (music/brass)band and flag bearers ( color guard ). Live music!! and movements. Oh yeah, I just broke an instrument during rehearsal, I was squeezed in between the trombone and a timpani in front of me. Luckily that could be able to put back together. It happened when I was swinging the flag to the back, when I swing it back to the front, it was hooking a piece of the brass instrument thing, the slider, from the player standing behind me, I think I could have hurt his lips too. It was embarrassing.

They are amazing, see those flags? I think they are having bigger flags than ours.

Irondale High School Marching Band. If you realize there are white gun-like items, they are wooden mock rifles, one of those marching band equipments.

Besides, in our group Kotekitai, twirlers, we have metal baton as well.


My younger sister twirls that.

I have just started playing flag this year, for age of 15 -2 years ago, I was in another group, additional apparatus for the twirling group - hoop. Adopted from rhythmic gymnastic.

Of course I am no where near that standard.
