We recently watched the movie Ballet 422 and were required to take some simple notes on it. We were given no special instruction for these notes, except to simply write down things, or events, that stuck out to us in the movie. I am now aware that these notes were made to aid us in comparing color guard with these ballet performers. I realized that we both are always aiming to perform better, are able to adjust to overcome obstacles, and we all make mistakes, no matter how professional we are. One
retreat. Arriving at my caveman fashioned fort, I realise something is odd. My sabre had been moved! I take another step onto the crispy, autumn leaves. Within an instant I’m jerked up into the air by a rope constricting my foot! Captain Jack emerges from the brush. “Where have yey put it?” He barks.

Failure is what I felt as soon as I dropped a four-rotation toss on sabre. Failure is what I sensed when my instructor told me to pick up a flag when everyone else had a sabre within their grip. Failure is what stared back at me every time I looked in the mirror. That was weapon tryout day for my school's colorguard team.
