Blythe's Blagh

High school was not a fun experience. Up until high school, I was a crazy little girl who loved everyone. Let’s just say I was naive to the abilities of someone to be sarcastic or mean. I had grown up with a certain few wonderful friends. When we got to high school we stayed pretty closely knit, but made new friends as well. Some of my friends were in this group called “Marching Band.” This is how I found my love for Colorguard.

 After my freshman year at Morton High School and my first year as a part of a guard, my family moved. Not just a town away like before, we moved all the way to Tennessee. I wasn’t going to continue my career in colorguard, but my mother is very wise. Over and over again colorguard was a way to express myself, stay in shape and make friends. It was how I made it through my mundane experience at Wilson Central.

After high school, I decided to venture into the world of college and Middle Tennessee State University welcomed me with open arms. Once again, I thought school work would be too much so I wouldn’t continue my colorguard career and, once again, my mother is very wise. I thought colorguard in high school was fun, But college band is so much better!


 I’ve found life-long friends, roommates and not to mention I met my fiancé, Marty McCarter. I’m sure my future children will continue our tradition of Marching Band. I can’t express how much gratitude I have towards the band experience. And a special thanks to the Band of Bluuuueeeeee!
