Favorite Discipline

• • Rifle

Favorite WG Shows:

• • Corona 2007 - "A Fist Wrapped in Blood"

  • Paradigm 2005 - "Typical Situation"

Favorite part of Who. What. Where.:

• • Oh, there are too many to list... The character introductions, the sabre chomp, the orange flag 45, the final ensemble dance feature... I could go on and on.

Why FIG?:

• • I have always believed in making color guard more accessible to performers after high school. FIG is a place where performers can still get on the floor but also work and go to school. We're about creating art and friendships and lifelong memories.

Why FIG?:

• • FIG is always going to be the spot to encourage people to continuing spin in a fun environment. I love seeing members find that “click” when they get a new skill or seeing their personality shine through the silly moments. FIG allows the members to be who they truly are and lifts them up.

Why FIG?:

• • I was initially drawn to the happy irreverence of the name “Flags In a Gym.” A colorguard can mean a lot for its members: fun, exercise, art, escape, a safe place to be yourself and enjoy community. I love that such beautiful, human things can be our priority, and those flags in that gym are the way we achieve them together

• • The sabre chomp, but the orange flag 45 gives me goosebumps every single time. 

Why FIG?:

• • I was lost after I decided to leave teaching to pursue my career. I missed teaching, but knew I couldn't commit to a scholastic schedule. I took a leap of faith and reached out to Jenney. It was one of the best decisions I've ever made. I get to spend my time with a staff and performers who make me a better person, all while I get teach some cute twirls!
