Color Guard Leader Analysis

On Monday May 16th, 5 girls from our very own Chino Hills High School color guard came into the Journalism room to be interviewed about their past season this school year. The five girls that came into our room were Kaitlyn Parsons, Mallory Williams, Ashley Kearns, Nina Penzo, and Hunter Adams. They placed first in the Western Open Class Champions and the Westcoast Winterguard Open Class Champions. They each told us that the World Championships take place in Dayton, Ohio which is considered to be the color guard hub of the United States of America. Hunter Adams told the journalism crew that they practiced about 16 hours a week with a competition on Saturdays. Nina Penzo is a captain as well as Jenna Quijano who is a senior captain. They

Being a leader is being a role model and striving to make a positive impact on those around you. In order to be a successful leader, you have to put yourself second and your peers first. For example, my younger sister and I both play softball. I have played on several travel teams during the summer and this year, she tried out for her first competitive travel team. I was asked to aid her by helping her with the mechanics of the game. During this time, I sacrificed my time to put the needs of another person before my own and it paid off, because she made the team and I got to witness the results of my

What is a leader? To me a leader is someone who takes charge, someone who makes intelligent decisions and listens to the group that they are leading. If I am elected Beta Club President I will make sure that everyone has a chance to voice their opinion. If elected I will make Beta Club meetings interactive, informative, and something to look forward to. I am a hard working, goal oriented person and when I set my mind to something I get it done. However I know that we are stronger and will accomplish more with everyone working together. If you elect me your Beta Club President, together, we can make this the best year Beta Club has ever had.

To some people, leadership means to lead a group of people but in cheerleading, and to me, it is so much more. In the community, on the sidelines, and even in school, you are representing the team and the school you cheer for along with your reputation. You have to work the hardest, encourage your team, always keep the smile going and stay positive. Even at or not at practice or a sporting event you have to think of the team and how your actions will rely on the team and affect the team, everyone relies on the leader.

Being a leader on a sports team meant that I had to be physically and mentally strong in situations where others might be weak. Physically, I had to be an example on my team by never quitting and never giving up when things were tough. That way when my teammates seen me pushing through physically adverse situations they have someone to follow

Leadership is being able to guide other students into being the best they can be. I am a leader who is always positive and cheering others on to achieve their goals. At my school, I have a position as the Vice President of Academics in National Honors Society. Since I have obtained this position, I encourage other students in this group to participate in service projects which is where one volunteers to help out the community in some aspect. These volunteering opportunities are good thing to do because it builds character and it is always fun helping others out. As a leader, I bring new ideas to the table on where we should help out in the community and anything that we could do in school that would fun and helpful. Along with participating in National Honors Society at my school, I am also involved in our Student Government Association. Although I do not have a leadership position in this club, I still engage in the activities that we do. For the past two years, I have gone to an annual meeting for leadership where multiple schools attend. At this meeting there are fun activities where you learn more about leadership and how to be a good leader. As a leader, these meetings help because it is always good to learn new

I have exemplified leadership in a couple different ways through out my high school career. One way of this is through leading my team members in cheerleading. I look out for my new team members, especially since they are learning a lot of new material. This can be stressful and difficult at times. I know this feeling since I was once brand new to the Mason Cheerleading Program and didn’t know any of the material. If I

During my sophomore year especially, I did my best to be a leader in my definition: dedicated, helpful, and authentic as a person. In our band, I was the leader for the twenty-odd flutes we had in our section. As expected of an officer throughout the marching season, I helped

Believe me, being a leader is not an easy job. If you can accomplish all these things then you can be a true leader. From my own experience, being a captain is not easy. Even I struggle with these qualities. The pressure of being a leader of is overwhelming, and takes hard work to accomplish. “Leaders are made, they are not born. They are made by hard effort, which is the price which all of us must pay to achieve any goal that is worthwhile,” by Vince

I have been the president of my school’s Junior Civitian club for 2 years now and I was color guard caption for two years also. I have learned how to become a leader. I also went to Girl State where I learned how to become a better leader. Becoming a leader is challenging, especially in high school, when you want to do what everyone else is doing. I have learned that being a leader you should be fair and treat people as if they are your peers and not lower than you are. As a leader I am the first person their and the last person to leave. I also have made myself available to the people in Junior Civitan and the people on the color guard team. I also have an ambitious attitude, as should ever leader. I will always try to keep everyone cheerful

As a leader, one must be kind and firm, making sure what needs to be done is done. As a leader, one must inspire their charges to finish the project completely and to do their best. I have been a leader in our school’s Journalism (Yearbook) class as an Layout Editor. I have made sure my staff has been consistent in their work and make their deadline on time.

The Groups Dynamics of a team can be effected if the category of leadership is not in place. Leadership means “the activity of leading a group of people or an organization or the ability to do this.” In order to be a good leader you must have a strong value that you can give to your team. A good leader must have strong values to pass on to their team. At the top of the teams hierarchy is a leader, so that the leader can put input towards everything the team does, so that the team would be successful because the leader controls and guides the team.

Leadership is a trait that many people misunderstand. Some people believe that leaders need to be mean, assertive, dominant, and have overwhelming control over a situation, however, this could not be farther away from the truth. Often times people confuse being boddy with being a leader. Personally, I think that in order to be a leader you must be nice, as well as showing the way by example instead of orders. In school I try to help all of my friends with any schoolwork they need help with whenever I can. The most important role as a leader that I have is for the school’s junior varsity baseball team. This school district is a lot smaller than many other school district, so we face many teams that are able to have all junior and sophomores on junior varsity. We are about half sophomores and half freshmen and I feel that it is mine, as wells as the other sophomore’s, responsibility to lead the team through example. Even in tough situations I still motivate the team with encouragement, constructive criticism, and positive actions in order to keep our heads

The job of a color group leader to make sure that your color group stays together, has fun, and learns cool stuff! You may want to develop a cheer, chant, or saying that brings your color group team together. J

Leadership is something that we are all born with because we are all born. Therefore, who is a leader and who is not depends on who really wants to be a leader and who does not. Leadership is a skill and so it can be learned. As anything that is learned it demands practice and practice to be the best. It would not be something that will happen in a matter of a day. There are multiple elements that make a leader. Collaboration is a key element for successful teamwork. Therefore, a leader must always be in the look for ways to foster collaboration. Creating trust within the team, support face-to-face collaboration, transfer responsibilities when making decisions, and ultimately teach other how to be leaders. All of this is not done if it is not done from the bottom of your own heart.
