Flag throwing (color guard) is an art and sport mixed all into one. Flag throwing tends to coordinate with marching bands all throughout the world. It has become a competitive art that takes place in schools all over the world.
History
The art of flag throwing dates back to medievalguilds (principally in Italy, Germany, Switzerland, Flanders, and Southern Netherlands). A guild's banner or flag was considered a symbol of purity, and as such it was not allowed to touch the ground.
Types
There are two major categories of flag throwing: classical and acrobatic. In classical flag throwing, the flag is turned left and right around the body in a standing posture. In acrobatic flag throwing, the thrower uses both hands to move the flag in a sitting, lying, or kneeling posture.
