Can this be possible? Can it really be here? The thing that every Pride member dreads!!!!
The Cursed Nixa Show!
For many years the amazingly wonderful, kick butt, throwing babies off the balcony, Independent Open Class, Pride of MSU Winter Guard has been cursed with a really BAD performance at the Nixa show! Every year we would swear to break the cycle and never really seemed to do so!
I remember my first year having a guard perform at the dreaded show and wondered if the bad ju-ju would follow me and haunt my sweet Middle School and later Regional A guard.
It didn't seem too!
Then I started looking at my fellow Pride age outs and their guards...the curse didn't seem to follow them to their guards either! Whew! I guess the panic can be over!
OH BUT WAIT!
This isn't only the Nixa show this year. This is the WMS WG first show EVER. Before, when I brought my guards to the show down in Nixa, MO I had the Eureka show prior to it to get out the first time jitters.
But not this time.
What is it about that place that makes me worry so? Is it the bad ju-ju, the curse, the memories of poor performance past whispering to me? I just don't know! What I do know is, come Saturday I will be a wreck on the inside...calm in front of my wonderful guard girls...but still holding back some crazy!

I know why Nixa is cursed.
ReplyDeleteI actually Laughed Out Loud in the middle of my 2nd hour class when I read your comment!
ReplyDeleteBut the curse happened before "that"....so its probably not why....
Whew, glad I made you laugh...rather than wanting to punch me! ;o) That's progress I tell you...lol!
ReplyDeleteI believe a curse is in the mind itself...if your Willard MS girls have no clue; there will be no curse. I know how you get kids ready to perform..this will be no different and they will do their very best Saturday..I have not doubt in the way you prepare students. You are an awesome guard instructor and teacher!! Believe.....
