Taking our flag to Sonora: Flag Escort Competition

Hi!

We are 6 mexican kids (plus our trainer) and we conform the "Oficial Alianza B.C" flag escort.

A flag escort is a group conformed by six people that take pride in protecting and guarding our national flag, we take our job very serious and train three days a week 3-4 hours. We also have a militar like training.

In Mexico, every single state has a lot of flag escorts, every school has one, some are conformed by pre-school kids and some (like ours) is formed by people from 15 to 23 years old.

Like any other discipline, there are competitions to choose the best escorts it can be a National contest or a state one. In these competitions they choose the best commander, standar-bearer. guards and rear guards.

This time around, the next national competition - The Desert Cup - is in Sonora, and even though is not that far by plane, all of us are mere students and three of them are minors, we really need to raise money to pay our ticket from Tijuana to Sonora, hotel rooms and food expenses.

We've been working really hard but still have a long way to go.

Help us take Tijuana pride to Sonora!!!
