Saturday Photo Scavenger Hunt, June 27th
This week's PhotoHunters' theme is flags. I know we'll see a lot of patriotic submissions this week! My mind went a different direction, though.
I was on the flag corps in high school, and I loved it. It's one of the fondest high school memories I have, to be part of the big moving organization on the football field Friday nights. So I submit two flag photos related to that idea. This first one is a pre-game flag tunnel we made as the rest of the band would file into the stands. Imagine a drum cadence playing in the background while we flag girls stood to the sides making a pointed arch overhead. I think that's me---the first flag on the left.

This second one is in the parking lot in front of the Winn-Dixie (I think Brookshire Brothers now). I don't know why we were performing there! We had these pink flags for a certain song, and the yellow shirts we have on were our Friday uniforms for school. They say Color Guard on them, I think. My hair is weird in this one---I think it's in a braid in the back. Thanks to my parents who must have taken both these shots!
I hope you'll go see some more flags on TNChick's website. Next week will be pretty in pink!

My daughter is going to be in Color Guard when school starts again. I had thought about it for flags but since she hasn't started yet, don't have any photos to post. I'm glad you posted yours. I'm excited for her because I think she'll have fun.
Hope you can visit my flag

My daughter was in the band, so when they traveled to competition, the Color Guards were a big part in the whole thing. Great photos, brings back memories.

What interesting photos.. I would have never made it in that.. Those flags would simply tangle all around my legs and arms... no coordination here. My flags are here.

Mom says you are welcome. We tried to make most of your local performances. Hard to make away games when I had to work many FRiday nights. You seemed to be having fun and so did your sister. It was a happy time for all.
