Dealing with Drama: How to color guard

Drama is the plague. (Not really but seriously, treat it like the plague). 

Any place where a lot of girls gather (and some guys, 95% of the drama in my guard comes from one guy lmao) is going to get some drama. Especially if you have to deal with the same girls for an entire year, or multiple years. If you need reasons to stay out of drama, and how to avoid, keep on reading.

- Don’t say anything behind someone’s back that you wouldn’t say directly to their face, context is irrelevant. Things get passed around. Things get shared. You’d hate to lose friends or create enemies just because you wanted to add some gossip to a conversation.

- If you know someone is notorious for causing problems, maybe don’t hang out with them all the time?? If you do, don’t let yourself sink to their level. 

- Instructors do notice who picks on who. They notice who is sassy or catty. And when the time comes for leadership, it shows real maturity to be above all that gossipy nonsense.

- If your instructor is the type that punishes everyone for the actions of a few, do you really want to be the reason that everyone has to run? (or do any other punishment).

-  Being nice to others is always the way to go. It’s hard sometimes, especially if the crowd is doing the wrong thing, the mean thing, but it’s worth it in the end.
