I hope everyone involved in this routine can look back at it as something to remember and be proud of, because this is such a beautiful, emotional, moving scene.... I always come back and watch it.

20 years later and this show is still my top favorite. The video truly doesn't do enough justice for how breathtakingly beautiful and emotional it was to see in person.

The person who taught me how to spin a flag was Stacey Wright. He was soooo talented. His flag work he wrote for a guard I was in was so intricate that it would take a lot of time just to teach 4 counts. The most beautiful flag work I have ever been taught. Unfortunately, Stacey died in 1996 from AIDS. The guard members made an AIDS quilt for Stacey that was added to the national display in Washington DC. THIS SHOW REMINDS ME OF STACEY SOOOOO MUCH!!! I would not have been in drum corps or winter guard if it wasn’t for Stacey. I LOVE YOU GIRL!!!! Thanks for giving me the love of color guard!!!

Not many shows have made me as emotional as this one. Even fewer have made me shed a tear. Such a beautiful show.

I've already commented once on this performance, but now it takes on a whole new meaning for me. My dad passed away only two weeks ago. This show has always meant a lot to me, but watching it now breaks my heart open in an entirely new way. Thank you to every artist involved in creating this. it helps give voice to the experience of grief: the pain, the beauty, the love, and all the things that are otherwise indescribable. Thank you all 🖤

I was a Senior in HS the year that this show show came out. I thankfully had the opportunity to watch this show a few times in person throughout the season. I remember the first time I saw them person it the mat wasn’t painted. This show always makes me very emotional. In my opinion a true Master Class in Movement. My favorite show of all time.

this is my favorite show of all time. i remember my freshman year of high school, one rehearsal that winter season our instructor decided we were going to watch old shows instead of rehearsing (i think the gym got taken over by a sports team) and this was one of the ones we watched. it's always stuck out to me as so beautiful and i keep coming back seven years after i first saw it

Thank you so much for posting this video. Tonight marks what would have been my age out if I had marched. While I never got to experience what that would have been like. I did get to have some fun experiences from hs and local independent groups. And none of that could have happened if I never stumbled across this while doing a research project in 8th grade for Edgar Allen Poe. Thank you again for such an amazing vid
