Does anyone know where photographs or drawings of the flags for the 1991 Star of Indiana show might be found? One looked like a stained glass window, and the other had the Greek letters chi and rho.

"He pulls two people out of the group...He asks the boy, "why is it that she
cannot make this pass through?" The boy says "because she isn't doing it
right"...the girl kinda puts her head down...George looks the boy dead in the eyes and says "No...She can't make the
pass through because you don't care enough about her to get her through it."
The two sit down..."This is from the old conversation thread linked above. Maybe someone can help me get this. I think I am getting the big picture (help you fellow member), but I don't understand the particular example. Thoughts?

Are the flag designs for the 1991 show available anywhere? Here is a story about the 1991 show (it may have been linked previously). IDS
Zingali lamented to Mason that he “didn’t have it.” Finally, Zingali returned to the corps, and in sudden inspiration, he turned the tables. He had them separate into groups and choreograph themselves. Mason recalled the subsequent moments as something truly special.
“What I saw that night, it was like a classical musician suddenly learned about improvisation in jazz. And it was a magical moment,” said Mason. “What they created that night was something I had never witnessed. (Zingali) was like a young boy that night.”
The link also said that the two crosses is an allusion to the old and new testaments of the Bible.

Somewhat tangential, but some of the flags in that show look like stained glass. George might have been referencing Respighi's "Church Windows."

Was George a religious man? I am curious because of all of the Christian imagery in the 1991 Star of Indiana show. I can't think of anything to say about the closing moments of that show--I am too much in awe.

"1983 Garfield Mello in Simple Song" Was that Barbara Marony? The last note of her solo in 1984 West Side Story (Somewhere) just fades away so nicely... I second the baritone solo from the 1987 Phantom Regiment show (Swan Lake and Nutcracker). I think the show was called Songs from the Winter Palace, and the solo was from near the end of the first act of Nutcracker.
Best slow solo ever?

I cannot recall whether or not this has already been mentioned, but the french horn player from the Madison Scouts has a very nice solo at the beginning of "Looking Through the Eyes of Love" the love song from the movie Ice Castles, the closer in 1981. I wish I had a DVD with that show; it was the first time I had seen a championship-level corps live, and it was awesome.
