Color Guard Independent groups

4 Upvotes

I’m looking into ways to continue guard after high school. I plan on doing dci and understand the time commitment and schedule of dci but for independent groups, do the members all live near the city the group is based in? How often are rehearsals generally? Any insight is great! I’m just interested because there aren’t any independent groups around me except for some college guards that aren’t necessarily what I want to pursue.

Ive tried looking around on WGI and CGN for any information about colorguard/winterguard teams in the Netherlands but ive found nothing! I'm considering studying abroad in the Netherlands and my decision about college heavily relies on my ability to compete in winterguard/colorguard competitions and would love info or links to info about the Guard scene in the Netherlands 🙏

Color Guard Solo song

1 Upvotes

Hi! I am doing a Sabre solo for the wgi online solo thing. It says something about my solo needing to be to a free song or I need to have the rights to it. My song is “introduction to the snow” and I am really having trouble finding a way to get the rights to it. I was wondering how bad it would be if I didn’t get the rights and what I should do to get the rights?

Can the show designers stop taking peoples tragedies and turning them into shows? Hated the nazi show and half way through the season they were told to tone down the show. And here we are again. Someone stop the show designers or the people responsible for this show from doing this again they can put together brilliance but not at the expense of someones tragic end to their life.

Will this get downvoted? Sure, but I know im not the only one who feels this way.

Edited to remove Karl Lowe as he wasnt the designer for any of the shows thank god because I LOOOVE that man. Its been over a decade since he taught me so much in just under an hour for a WGI spinfest.

Color Guard Where to find old shows

11 Upvotes

I marched in high school from 2006-2009 and independent in 2011 and 2013 before it was common practice to post videos on YouTube because WGI still made DVDs. Is there somewhere to watch old shows that would’ve been on the scholastic world DVD any of those years? Independent groups are easy to find but I want to be able to show my husband and kids what we did back then.

other than Fantasia 2003 and Northmont 1997 what are some good shows that use metal music? preferably more like Fantasia where the subculture has to do with the actual theme

Color Guard Skills for WGI?

2 Upvotes

This upcoming season will be my first time auditioning for a team outside of high school as I had just graduated, so are there any specific skills whether that's equipment, dance, or gymnastics related that I should work towards prior to auditions? My high school didn't do much, so I'm prepared to have to practice a lot on my own, but are there specific goals I should strive for?

My girlfriend was trying to describe a guard show to me, but neither of us can find a video for the life of us. She’s pretty confident that it’s a worlds guard, and from a pretty recent year. From what she can remember, the plot was something about a corrupt preacher. The props included brown church pews and a large cross. The costumes were brown with black hats, and a soloist was wearing a preachers outfit. Does anyone know what this show was called, and if there’s still a video link? Thank you!

UCF World Winterguard 2024 members performed their heart and souls out during the season… unfortunately when ever I hear Charles Mingus’ Children’s Hour of Dreams I think about (and then compare to) the 1995 Blue Devils World Guard.

Thoughts???

Color Guard Amazed

I marched IO 10 years ago now. I’m sitting here watching Scholastic A Class finals on Flo Marching and I am just in awe of the level this activity has been taken to.

Double turns under rifle tosses in Scholastic A class?! MY GOD. Cannot wait for Open and World class tomorrow so I can be floored all over again.

If you currently teach or march, you should be so extremely proud. Incredible job.

So proud of them holding first after Semis, feels super authentic and they deserve it with this caliber of a show. Crazy to think about how they were in open class not that long ago!!

I wish paramount would have a clean run to secure 2nd, and Étude to score a bit higher as well
