Lori Valenzuela, Steps to a Great Color Guard, June 2009: Teaching young students the proper way to stand is always difficult. They would rather slump at the shoulders and keep their heads down as if walking to class. To teach them to stand up properly I tell them to imagine there is a string attached to them just below the front two notches of their collarbones and someone up in the press box is pulling the string. By imagining that, their rib cages lift up off their hips, and the students immediately look a foot taller. Of course the head has to move with the chest, so I tell them to look at the press box with their chins, not with their eyes.
