Congratulations to Fort Wayne Snider!!

This led to a rifle feature of the performers in the middle row. Well executed. Though there were just a couple of minor performance issues, the recovery of this unit was fantastic. There was something written on the dashes which wasn’t quite clear. The ending moment of the performance each performer had calla lily and placed it on their dash. The narration in this performance is extremely important to listen as it explains the purpose of the dash. Great Job and Congratulations on your First Gold Medal in the IHSCGA.

Owen Valley – Road Trip – Coinciding with the narration various road sign formations with “Yield To Nothing”, “U Have Choices,” “DO NOT GIVE UP,” are used to assist in traveling the road of life. The music is from August Rush with writings from Ira Glass. The narration adds greatly to the performance value and of the various silks used through out the performance.

Good Luck at WGI World Championships in two weeks!!

Homestead – Come Sail Away – Performing in elegant brown uniforms that helped shape the performers in the presentation of the program this ensemble took the floor.

The gold flag statement led into the transition for the ending copper silk statement that brought the program to an outstanding conclusion. Congratulations for capturing the Bronze Medal!!

**Just a note of interest here, there appeared to be individuals who didn’t realize that flash photography was not allowed. As a flash went off a rifle was dropped. Therefore this is the reason that flash photography is NOT allowed. Thank you!!

Kokomo - Sposason Disprezzata – This ensemble interpreted the music of this piece in an artistic fashion. This groups moves impeccably and transitioned smoothly. The opening movement sequence into the transition of the seafoam green silks, was great. The tarp is a rust, copper color with half archs on the floor. The white silk feature is performed with perfection. As the ending movement brings the program to a close a passionate kiss occurs and ends. Very nice program!! Congratulations on capturing the Silver Medal this year. Good Luck at WGI World Championships in two weeks.

Lawrence Central – Amazing Grace – Performing a great version of Amazing Grace by Ani Difranco, this ensemble put on a fantastic program. There were a few miscues throughout the program but recover was great. From the opening movement statement and rifle statement, this talented group of young people rose to the occasion. From the silk ensembles to the ending rifle soloist…WOW what a great performance. The purple silk ensemble was fantastic. The musical choreography of the program was great. Congratulations on winning the Gold Medal this year.

Northview – Young Person’s Guide to the Zodiac – With thirteen performers, one may wonder why with only twelve zodiac signs, there is an odd number of performers. There are two Gemini performers, which represent twins. With the zodiac on the tarp and multiple constellations coinciding with the signs this ensemble displays great equipment work. There were minor performance issues, which were quickly overcome. The starting pose is that of the zodiac, as is the symbols on the uniforms, as well as the ending pose. The blue silk ensemble begins with the four water symbols of the zodiac. This is a talented group of young ladies, who perform this program with grace and elegance.

Well Done!!!

Center Grove – Here Comes the Flood – On a bubbly blue tarp, sporting sparkly fringed various colors of blue uniforms, this elegant group of young ladies take the floor. With only thirteen performers there is a lot of exposure that can be had either in a good or bad fashion. This however was exposure for the good. There were a couple of performance issues but recovery was outstanding. The opening movement sequence was eloquently performed leading into the white silk ensemble. This ensemble is certainly on the move up as the Grove typically rises to the occasion each year. The talented performers are graceful and elegant as they perform. What a beautiful program. Great Job!!!

Warren Central – Chaos Theory – Various numbers are on emblazoned on the tarp, which if looking at closely can create chaos. The narration is extremely important during this program. As the explanation of numbers is explained in the narration, with the driving music, during the performance the show progresses. The guard looks as that of chaos has been created. The opening movement sequence is intricate and detailed, which leads into a rifle ripple from the back left to the right front and is performed flawlessly. The double spinning that occurs with the green silks is fantastic. The last silk used, maroon with golden curves is reminiscent of snake fangs (which is a reference to rolling snake eyes); as more performers transition to the maroon silk the music continues to pick up the pace and comes to a climatic finish, with a greatly executed toss. What a great performance!! Congratulations on capturing the Bronze Medal!!

Carmel - Good Luck "Find a penny, pick it up, and all day long you'll have Good Luck – In copper colored uniforms, on a floor resembling brush with a copper colored four leave clover this talented group of young ladies take the floor. The opening movement sequence coincides with the whistling on the sound track as these young performers move wonderful. As the whistling stops a green flag soloist begins transitions into a silk trio then into a sabre solo. This ensemble executes perfectly with the musicality choreography of the program. Congratulations on capturing the Silver Medal!!

Avon – Release – Performing music from Mahler’s 5th this graceful elegant ensemble takes the floor on a simple tarp with a diagonal strip. Simple yet elegant uniforms grace the performers. The opening movement statement alone shows the training this group possesses; this leads to a perfect sabre solo. In trying to totally understand the translation of the show title “Release,” it could be release of equipment, release of letting a loved one go, or a few other things. Nonetheless, this ensemble performs in dramatic fashion with great expressive qualities. Congratulations on a job well done and on winning the Gold Medal for World Class. Great Job!!!
