@@auralyss cool thank you

We're going to grand nats this year, wish us luck!

Lightning Field by John Mackey

While similar to Lightning Field, this was actually Wine Dark Sea

Wdym? The cartwheel catch was.. rough.. but most of the catches were solid

Me too. I mean, we get it. You can throw an eight, do a cartwheel, a backflip and cook a four course meal all before catching it behind your back while doing the splits. Just give us like a 24 count full guard flag feature because with the talent involved it would be mind blowing!

@@MS-df2fk the problem is for world class judges don’t want to see that anymore, they’ve seen it a million times. The purpose of having a world class guard is to push the boundaries of guard as a concept even more, that’s why flag features aren’t as common because it’s been done before. You see that type of thing in more regional A guard’s because that’s the expectation, for world class the expectation is to be able to do these cool tricks under tosses because they’ve been doing this for so long.

@@briannastanaford5184 That's a shame, then. Having the guard split into small weapons groups the whole time throwing toss after toss means there's no build ups, no climaxes. Everything just feels the same and then it's over. Plus they may as well be spinning clear sabres because the work is impossible to read with no color contrast to the tarp.

@@MS-df2fk I feel like Pride's 2022 show did better flag wise. Like there was at least 2 points where flags were at least semi featured. I definitely feel you on missing flag features in top tier groups tho. I get that yeeting rifles and sabers across the room to someone else is technically a crap ton harder but ....flags are just so great. Flag is my fav and it'd be wonderful if we could have moments of just crisp in time flag features with tricks that we know they could pull off. Extra points for silence if they have it!!!!

Me too! My coach was in this show and I still fan over her lol

What is the theme?

@@jesuspectre9883 the theme is kinda of obvious with their show title “Another door opens”. What I got from this show is that all great things will come to an end eventually. But another door of opportunities will arise for you after. All great things must come to an end, but even greater things will arise for you. Following their 2019 season, they took a year off in 2020 to have a dance ensemble that would perform outside of the Color guard activity. They came back in 2021 for this virtual guard show and they took home another World title just this past season. Like I said, opening doors for new opportunities. This show “Another Door Opens” was hinting the audience for a new opportunity- the dance ensemble in 2020.

Do you get off on passive aggressively bragging about how much WGI trivia knowledge you have?

@@tengod6458 What's wrong with having that kind of knowledge?

@Caitlyn Labuga - OK, boomer.

@@tengod6458 what you mean boomer? lmao I'm only viewing this for school??

I remember that show! That one... sticks w ya. Just gorgeous.

you don't own me by son lux -- it's all music by son lux

LMAO

@@Memesofficaiall ogey

@@Memesofficaiall did i ever say you had no rights??

@@Memesofficaiall that's a lot coming from someone saying "a idiot" rather than "an idiot"

Spinning flag is pretty fun

I occasionally break out the banner and twirl.

I'll admit I don't much about this side of WGI, but I feel like I saw a decent amount of flag work in this show.

What is the subject? What is the theme? How is the end different from the beginning?

I saw this in person and it was amazing

First song is Lost it to trying by son lux but idk the rest.

I believe the second song is You dont own me ft hanna benn and the last song was All Directions. All songs are from son lux

beginning instrumental is from fourth of july by fob

they already have one up

Ava_ry Ace I mean from wgi Dayton

They were catching solid. If they didn’t then they wouldn’t have placed first. Plus, they had a ton of dance choreography to go with equipment, so I’d say they did a freaking amazing job with what they were given.

still don't understand how they judge equipment execution...I marched with cavies in 82' and they would have scored low in execution. by the standards set in 82' Is Gaines still involved with the Pride?

But they were catching solid?? Look at all the moments after a catch of a 5 or above. Most of the time they have a second or two pause before moving. Where are you saying they aren’t catching solid??

Wayne Schneberger ok boomer

Sometimes they did sometimes they didn’t. They really fought for a lot of their catches to begin with. Not a standard of POC excellence but somehow still first place. Guess they judge on other things (right?)

this good enough? i have the high cam on a usb of mine and can upload if needed

Hunter Lewis Oh really? I’d appreciate it a lot because I am a bit curious to see what their staging looks like overall :D You don’t have to though if you don’t want to, thank you for uploading this though!

@@mikasaserket4785 no problem! people upload possibly-illegal clips of dci finals, so i thought I'd do the same for guard pals. ill see if I can get it up tomorrow.
