==="As we walk into the gym, I hear the announcer introduce our guard, “Next is Milford High School! Performing their 2011 show Turning Tables!” As I’m setting my equipment I try to give off a relaxed smile. After giving my rifle and saber the traditional pat and kiss I walk towards my spot on the floor. While I am standing there I try to become accustomed to the atmosphere of the gym. The stands are full! An exciting chill is sent through me. It starts at the very tip of my head, tingles my spine, and travels down my legs to my toes. I am starting to feel more and more relaxed as I smile at passing friends on the team. The announcer starts talking again: “Milford High School Winter Guard you may take the floor in competition!” I relax and my smile becomes a natural grin; I am ready to give this crowd a great performance."=== ==="Old Holley House" envoked the feeling of excitement someone gets when the first snow comes and covers the ground. It is a beautiful sight and it is the same feeling of excitement I get when I am about to perform at a competiton. The second piece of art I chose, "Toward Crepuscule," explains what I see while I am performing. The large crowd becomes a blur, except for the select people I choose to make eye contact with and perform to. I stay focused on our show and what we have to do instead of the people in the crowd. Everybody at a competition has their eyes on you, and this piece of art really pinpoints the focus. Lastly, I chose the "Arch" becuase it makes me think of the swooshing of the flags being in sync with one another and the pretty colors flying through the gymnasium.===
