  1. http://chromotive.blogspot.com/2008/12/not-being-able-to-create-art-they-will.html regarding onyx,reference the work of poet charles bukowski.
  2. "we were "hungry jacked!" screamed sebastienne convalescence was DISQUALIFIED for throwing mashed potatoes at the audience at a local VFW show last weekend!
  3. the indy regional this weekend should be interesting,the first time carmel and avon will be seen together and also the first live viewing of onyx by a wgi panel.
  4. if you enjoy strong training,beautiful lines and fully supported phrases the superb dance qualities of opus X are abundant and duly noted.they move with exquisite elegance and understanding.
  5. i know i must sound mean and bitter but i foolishly invested heavily in wgi technique futures in the late 90's and now i'm left penniless,all my stock practically worthless! ....and while i'm on a rant all you people who think you are exploring the triad by running around the floor doing an occasional saute while cradling and tucking your rifle/sabre/flag are sadly mistaken.
  6. as an aside...this is one of my personal favorite shows from karl lowe's fantasia and will be remembered fondly for decades!
  7. i understand the judges declined to wear their 3-D classes.
  8. also seen are horrible fuette turns performed with little or no understanding or demostration of proper technique and heinous "dinoasaur" free hands under tosses!
  9. great reply's from our community! even more egregious[or humorous depending on how you see it ]some audience members start their screaming and shrieking the moment the equipment is released from the hand! another observation in the world classes are super talented performers being given substandard show design and poor programming choices.
  10. regarding the world classes,one thing people in the audience are doing is screaming wildly and applauding like trained seals for simple tosses that are caught poorly and without technique.haphazard catch positions,misplaced and over-rotated tosses [often involving even the most elementary of skills] are greeted with hysterical screeching,clapping and approval.can we please put a stop to this?
  11. like viewing a film in split screen i understand gold medalists and world champions onyx [world] have two shows that occur simultaneously. fan favorites south shore drill team has most definately benefited from the assistance of michael letnz and look great at this time of the year,much improved! also the beloved and endearing father ryan h.s. will only show at the nashville regional so make sure to take notice.they are using music by mirah including "pollen" and "words cannot describe" and are crafted by the fantastic damon padilla,michael shapiro and k.c.perkins.
  12. if ya wanna make it,twinkle while ya shake it...... i understand alter ego has implemented lighting into thier program and my sources inform that SCV may be using this effect as well. ......i'm electrifying and i'm not even trying i don't have to sweat to get paid.....
  13. batteries included! a few groups are using battery powered lights and several are considering the idea.it should be interesting to see how clever,creative and smart our designers can be.
  14. after this year they will cease to be.....in other words they are done,throwing in the towell,finished,kaput,no mas.

  16. thanks for this review jeremy.appreciate your insight and opinions. sadly and bittersweet this is the last season for the late great eastern mass color guard circuit and as you know blesssed sac has won numerous championships throughout it's existance. it should be duly noted that this circuit has included such iconic and standard setting groups like Quasar,Erte' productions,st.ann's,st. joeseph and of course emerald marquis to name a few.
  17. perhaps "stay hungry stay foolish" implies that as life goes on we should continue in our desire to remain ambitious,keep learning and never lose our sense of humor. apply that message along with looking back and connecting the dots of your life experiences,reflecting on paths taken and choices made. i believe it is their intent to use parts of the famous steve jobs speech over the music track.
  18. fight breaks out at "convalescence" evaluation Evacuation show! police and SWAT teams responded to 911 calls when inept event planners "ran out of cake". cake was promised and many were turned away from the buffet tables empty handed,furious,irritable and many with dangerously low blood sugar. a staff member who asked not to be identified said,"it was awful,like the end of "day of the locust" or open class finals,only worse"! one source reported seeing a trail of buttercream icing leading to sebastienne's dodge windstar mini-van then suddenly it disappeared......
  19. trend spotting "faster pussycat overkill,overkill" :the three speeds of winter guard are now fast,faster and fastest!
  20. oy gevalt,i'm still sitting shiva from last years program!
  21. the 37 performers of zydeco world guard are using a high energy jazz piece from the early 70's with a great deal of tempo/meter changes.raw and fast paced staging,high speed velocity movement and motion paired with very demanding skills for all apperatus by a star studded cotiere of writers[michael townsend,j.c. caceres,sheldo apo and tommy allen].well known pageantry coturier and z teams director bryon valentine has designed villanous looking costumes that will have us all seeing red. original artwork/floor design by scott winter.
