ensperation and vision emagination.

how so?

that is the absolute best feeling in the world when you hear that crowd roar for your catch or even your toss and a fumble with a bad recovery. i cry after shows sometimes bc i feel so great that people actually enjoy the great things that we do.

This vague WGI "it's up to interpretation" copout is usually promoted lame designers who don't know how to stage a relatable dramatic action with an impactful ending. In the professional arts, that vague approach doesn't fly. So basically it's a disease found only in WGI and Dance Moms. In the real world of professional entertainment, a production's point of view is bold, intentional, focused and fiercely specific. The choreographer is proud of his bold message, not hiding behind mysterious riddles. Professional productions have a specific, bold intent. The meaning of this show is unclear. Make it crystal clear to the audience. What are you saying? Half of these audience members don't get the meaning you're trying to convey here. Professional performing arts can broach much more complex concepts because they can use words, but that's no excuse. This show is just another vague WGI "shrugger".

@@jesuspectre9883 LOL WHAT?!?!?! Guard is a creative medium. Just like painting. Just like dancing. Just like sculpting. All creative media allow for open interpretation. That is quite literally THE essence and point of art. So I find it hilarious you are essentially saying art SHOULD NOT be subjective. When that's literally the point! Like hello? If art ISN'T meant to be subjective, it loses its complexity and nuance and ability for people to analyze and interpret for themselves. Vague is the wrong word. Abstract is a much better word. Think of abstract paintings.

@@FuriedHearts This is not a solo canvas. It's a massively collaborative performing art with music, movement, symbolism, a timeline, a theme, and agreed upon meaning. As soon as you have more than one artist on a project, there must be agreement of artistic purpose. That "up for interpretation" copout doesn't fly when you have a budget of $200,000. Also, music of substance has specific artistic intent, a specific objective, relatable by the composer. An audience can only endure so much vague esoterica before it's time to go to concessions.

I agree! These shows don't have to convey a specific narrative with a concrete outline or meaning. Sometimes the goal isn't to tell a story, it's to evoke a theme or inspire emotion or illustrate a thesis. Color guard is a unique medium of storytelling in that way.

@@jesuspectre9883 I know this is a year old, BUT: I think the guard itself must ageee on the meaning. The audience, however, may interpret it as they like

What was it about?
