[@missserenity1090]

I remember watching this with my guard at our coaches house and everyone was like ??? We loved it though. Only Onyx could’ve pulled it off.

[@rachelchiang3997]

“People won’t cheer for u when ur equipment is on the ground!” The guy at 5:45: hold my baton

[@malloryweber5717]

That was so frickin smooth tho

[@PrinceTYLR]

This is what you call “art”. There’s no such thing as too much or too little. Art doesn’t exit inside a box. I really enjoyed this!

[@PrinceTYLR]

1 Thousand Subscribers No Video if high school kids are old enough to watch PG-13 movies then they can handle watching a show like this. No one is forcing them to watch it. Censorship is toxic.

[@PrinceTYLR]

1 Thousand Subscribers No Video doesn’t matter what age you are people see half naked people all the time. Like I said if their parents don’t allow them to see it that’s their choice. It’s not right for society to censor their art just to satisfy certain groups. They know they’re watching an independent group and not a scholastic group.

[@PrinceTYLR]

1 Thousand Subscribers No Video onyx is independent honey boo boo 😂 well I guess people should stop taking kids to water parks and beaches cuz there is nothing but people in bikinis and Speedo’s so I guess that’s considered porn also cuz there only a piece of clothing from being naked 💁🏼‍♀️ and it’s only uncomfortable because you’ve been conditioned to think that way. Typical American way thinking lmfao

[@PrinceTYLR]

1 Thousand Subscribers No Video 😆 honey... Onyx is an independent group competing in the independent world class and yes it’s a paid show so it’s a choice to see the show or not. And if you don’t like it then get up and leave it’s simple. And nobody said you were American. I was referring to that way of thinking is very American.

[@d33pseacreature]

Moh H imagine thinking this is “porn” y’all just upset about men wearing women’s underwear and heels that’s all

[@chloekilgore5390]

it’s not really “about” anything. it’s sticking it to the man and breaking all of the rules that WGI has

[@alyssabaldwin5842]

Two of my coaches were in this show and I could not be prouder.

[@ollie5969]

two of mine were here too!

[@mentallyvomit]

me too!!!

[@AdaylnTheLifeOf]

The whole show I was like 🤔 and then they cut the flags...😱I love it

[@charpnatl]

THIS was a SHOW! There’s something very infectious and endearing about this show.

[@altnamealt]

my 1st time ever seeing this show. very very interesting show. definitely creative. would’ve loved to see the judges faces as this was performed lol.

[@d33pseacreature]

wgi acting surprised a sport dominated by queer people having a show with queer elements

[@oldaccountfromhighschool]

The entire show was just vibes

[@smartcheeks867]

Very Moulin Rouge-esque... I like it!

[@matthewh9481]

This is color guard sports of the ARTS! Absolutely Stunning.

[@stevenscholze8196]

How dare you?..keep daring. I truly wish I'd been able to see this live. Incredible. Beautiful

[@commemorationvideojack9443]

i can't believe this show is over 8 minutes that so long

[@cloudfox1585]

I wish I knew what the show was about lol

[@Spaciousbow3572]

French Burlesque

[@armand9199]

The show is heavily inspired by Dada an absurdist art movement. The show essentially satirizes the conventions of color guard: utilizing equipment in unconventional ways like when they use the rifles as legs of a table and also put the shoes on the rifles continuing the motif of the rifles as legs, the tarp that is never unfolded and used as a prop, the baton soloist that never does a toss, the flags that are used as clotheslines, and of course the mockery of gender conventions.

[@mentallyvomit]

it was genuinely about just being as bizarre they can be, years before they were told that they did the same thing every year, so they attempted to stray as far away from that as possible

[@brandonmathis1892]

My mans was wearing NOTHING under the leggings at the ens

[@_nichrye]

i still dont know where the wigs came from

[@tjexplorer]

I liked it better when it was called Felliniesque.

[@adrianayala3692]

Yes, definitely bizzare and a bit disturbing

[@neomargs]

Thought I was watching POC for a second.

[@_nichrye]

anybody know the song in french??

[@bobcratchit4207]

La Valse a Milles Temps but I don’t know who does this cover

[@bobcratchit4207]

Just found out it’s by Wende!

[@Peccos]

what the fuck

[@mohfasa]

Maybe a little too much?

[@Briellewatts]

If it was a high school definitely. But this is independent world class these are mature performers. I don’t think anything is “too much”

[@comradedoggie5354]

@@Briellewatts Exactly I can see where it might be "too much" but this is performance art and its expressive well done by these mature performers

[@Sebaastiian]

yeah and let it be too much;-) no validation needed. highly conceptual performance art. just take it with evwrything or dont.

[@nickniehaus1763]

@@Sebaastiian does conceptual =gay/trans? I wouldn’t consider this conceptual this is a very straight forward show

[@Sebaastiian]

@@nickniehaus1763 so there is no concept? All freestyle😀

[@seveenn1894]

Actually, I enjoy everything about it. I believe some of you are overthinking this. I believe the show's title reflects its theme. They performed everything you wouldn't usually see in a colour guard show, including cutting their flags and putting on underwear and I don't think this reflects on their team being regarded as a "gay colour guard" group, but instead just a "colour guard," and while there may be some lgbtq+ members on their show, it doesn't rule out heterosexual males and girls as well. I believe this is ideal.
