Favorite 15 seconds of Color guard:

[SerpeR]

"I think that sense of American space, scale, size, had a tremendous impact on
Pollack's work.
I also think the mobility itself- the speed, the energy- was all part of the
American experience, and I think it's not unique to Pollack although I feel
that his particular imagery expressed it so well"

...and so did BK '96

When Aimachi was done with their finals performance (99) and they were jumping
up and down all excited :)

[Gina Nye..formerly WGIna623]

I SOOOOOOO agree!!!!

[Stephen Alia]

Nease 99, their final shot close up when they knew they had won! Gave me
chills!

[JetsToRich]

here are a few of mine!

Norwalk 98 : the rifle preps into the unison 5. WOW.
Pomona 99 : the yellow flag feature when they all toss a transverse and walk
thru their wooden structure and catch....
Chimeras 97 : the two pottery wheel turn around peeps
St Ann's 96 : the yellow flag feature
Escapade 93 : tournament of tournament or tournament of lies.
South Brunswick 98 : ending flag feature.

I like in Shen 99's "psycho" show at the end when the girl falls with the
shower curtain at the end and the rest of the guard crawls toward her and the
voice over goes "we all go a little mad sometimes, haven't you?" and everyone
turns around and the rocking chair is moving by itself... but nobody would see
that from the WGI tape because it got cut off...

i wouldnt call it bitter, leah...i'd call it fishing wire( central square did
the same thing with a rock and saber a few years back...but at the begining so
it wasnt cut off)

[Tigge58450]

Nease99 " i got lost on my wedding day" the dance feature all the way to the
all flag feature.

[RHCPGrrl01]

>Northmont '97, when they hang that girl... Cool cool!

hehe, you are talking about jenny (Generoll!!) that was a cool show..i was
only in 8th grade though so i missed it by a year!

[cotto...@yahoo.com]

Here's mine.

First, going back aways:
1) The end of Quasar 1983...can we say the use of color way ahead of
it's time?
2) The beginning of Skylarks space show...the parachute was way too
cool.
3) Cavaliers 1983...talk about several snapshots there
4) Those crazy Antron rifle exchanges
5) The all flag feature at the end of Sac's show, 1989.
(For all you color guard youngsters, grab some old tapes and learn
your guard history.)

And the present for a few that haven't been mentioned:
1) Emerald Marquis, 1991..."I put this moment here".
2) Emerald Marquis, 1994...as they introduce the flags and the
gradations go from pink to dark purple.
3) Sonnor, 1991...Kate Bush is wailing, the dyamics of the flag work
build intensity into an incredible climax. (yes, it was almost like
sex.)
4) Emerald Marquis 1992...the final yellow flag work with break neck
drill, resolving into a single line
5) Tate 1991...the disco show. The flag block rotates around in a
small block as the weapons line weaves its way through while the disco
diva is just screaming.
6) McGavock 1996 (? I Can See Clearly Now)...blue/gray flags to
yellow in an instant.
7) Bucanneers 1999...the flag feature from the silk at the
end...sculpting, into the ground while all the time holding on to the
silk
8) Palm Desert 1998...sabre double time while doing the pony, head
gestures and into a toss. Go girls!
9) Any San Marino body roll that defied gravity and basic physics.
10) Forte 1996 (Here's to Life)....They start in the upper left
corner and in 15 seconds or so, give you the whole life cycle of
modern man. Also in that show, the history of color guard in 15
seconds. Love it.

Well, there's a few. Enjoy!

[CrewcutPA]

Wow, what a well-written post!

>5) The all flag feature at the end of Sac's show, 1989.

Wonderful show. A show that pretty much changed colorguard, truly innovative.

>4) Emerald Marquis 1992...the final yellow flag work with break neck
>drill, resolving into a single line

Also an incredible show, and my personal all-time favorite. They used Kronos'
Amazing Grace, I remember seeing that drill at the Norristown Regional and they
didn't quite have it down yet -- they were bumping into each other, which is
understandable when you see that drill. At Dayton it was phenomenal.

That was a great moment, incredibly well thought-out. What ever happened to
that guard, anyway? The next year they did the homeless show with the cool
equipment -- eight actual weapons, the rest were all precision-weighted well,
THINGS. A giant sword, a piece of pipe... but when they did that six, they all
rotated exactly the same.

Thanks for the great post, brought back some good memories!

>9) Any San Marino body roll that defied gravity and basic physics.

Hey you are the first person to mention the Academy (well besides me). Those
rools were definately hard to learn, and make look good. Thanks for the
appreciation. I am glad some people enjoyed the weird stuff we did =)

NO NO NO..thats not why he got fired. hell, I'm on Northmont's guard and was
there when this big fiasco with intructors happened. None of US even know if
he was even fired or if he just quit..it's a big experience we would ALL like

Daniel, Sean, Carrie, and Sabrina!!!! :)

Pride of Cincinnati's all-guard unison rifle toss in 1997. How big was that
toss? I could'a swore it was a quad, but my friend says it was a 6 or a 7.
Anybody know?

[KCSun...@infocom.com]

I believe it was a 7

[Dancebeet]

1. Clovis West Riverdance '97 (the whole show!)
2. Bishop Kearney 95- "and the fog", " I loved dreaming of ballet, but my
mother wouldn't let me!". Bishop Kearney '96 the whole show Bishop Kearney '96
anyone who said they didn't like that show should check out those rifles...
5. BD 98 gorgeous flag halt
6. Pride 97 love those boys!. Pride 98 and 99 also awesome
7. ALL of James Logan 97-99 not only can they dance and spin, but they are some
of the nicest kids around! I love and miss all of you!
8. Patriots 99 when they eat mud and do all the crazy stuff I love!
Beta
Clovis West 96-99

[Bronze4ever]

it was a seven...except for Neil who (accidentally) threw a double...and Benny
who threw a 7 and a half at finals...:-) but it was supposed to be a seven. I
was with them all season.

[MIK69E]

Your such an idiot. But I have to agree on that one. I love Pride and Center

[Beatles781]

I love the 15 beginning seconds of the Underdawgs sgow. Oh wait- that was their
whole show.. My bad.

[Whoruit]

Prelims of Pride 99 color flag feature to the end....speechless....if you were
there you know what i am talking about.

[PRIDEOFCIN]

Yeah BABY!! That Pride show was memorable... the whole thing in my opinion....
but after the third line's 45 toss... WOW! I remember hearing the "Ah's" and
"Oh's" from the audience...

Cedric
Pride 98 99

[RobiBoy]

Yup...definitely have to agree. I just remember being spellbound the entire
show. Actually, I'm listening to the music right now! :)

My favorite 15 seconds of indoor guard is every 15 seconds of the
Buxmont Raiders were on the floor for both years they existed. Boston,
"Classical Gas", "White Rock".......damn! How awesome!
Gary, how great were you guys!!!!

Thanks NJNurse!

That was without a doubt one of the most outstanding guards I had the
pleasure of working with. A rare moment in color guard. It is always a kick
to see guards today doing some of the old stuff that we took flak for
introducing to guard YEARS ago.........like 77-79.....

I enjoy and respect the new age of colorguard, but those moments with
Bux-Mont just ROCKED.

Deb G., Lou B., Abby L., the Neelys, the Christys, the Lamberts, Terry,
---wish I knew where you were..........

ASAADEWEAHA--- I can't spell it, but I remember...

Thanks NJN for the reminder...........

..and Donna, I know you are with God, show him how a quad is REALLY done

[John Owen]

My favorite 15 seconds of color guard would have to be either the Blue
Devil's yellow flag feature in 1996, the opening seconds of Shaktai's show
last year or the part in Fantasia's show last year when most of the guard
came together in the really tight form and were doing kick butt equipment
work. All three of those moments were AWESOME!
