“Just smile” is not a performance strategy.

When Jordan asks how to help beginner performers commit to the show instead of giving full deer-in-the-headlights energy, Nicole breaks it down in a way every color guard, winter guard, and marching band instructor can use:

Start with what the music feels like.
Give performers a character.
Let them build a backstory.
Help them understand that performance is more than a face — it is ownership.

Because confident performers are not created by yelling “perform more” from the sideline. Shocking. Revolutionary. Someone alert the judges.

This clip is from the full Pro Tip Besties Design Analysis episode from On A Water Break, in collaboration with Guard Closet and the Design Closet.

Featuring Nicole Younger, Dalton Stout, Preston Copas, Annie Stegall, and Jordan Fontana.

I got influenced and I’m starting my Queen era now! I love being a mom but I miss having the energy I did pre-motherhood. Full unboxing video on YouTube, and I’ll check back in with y’all in a few months for an update after band camp season is over!
