Color guard checkpoints?

Question

I'm trying out for color guard and i had to leave tryouts early today and they were going over "checkpoints" for color guard. It was like different ways to hold the flag or something. What are they? And where can i find out about them online?

Answer 1

I was in colorguard in HS....I think the checkpoints were

first is called top check point,- grab the flag at the bottom and with the other hand put it under the material. then put the hand with the bottom paralel to your hip. this should put the flag vertical.

Second would be left check point,- with your hands in the same spots with the flag, turn your body slighlty to the left and drop the flag to the left. this should make your hand holding the bottom, next to your face.

Third point would be the the right, do the same as second but to it to the right....

there are many more, but it depends on how they name the checkpoints,but most of them are the same , just the name is diffrent, my school called them slams, as your school calls them checkpoints...
