With the use of electronics, a smaller ensemble will sound full and create the wonderful character required of this type of music. Journey through space to reignite our fascination with the wonders of the unknown beyond planet Earth! 6:10

   The timeless music of Vivaldi's The Four Seasons (1725, public domain) is renewed through a fresh and contemporary approach. The Seasons starts off with the hopeful sound of spring evolving into fast and urgent music that evokes the heat of summer.  Movement 2 moves through the gentle breeze of fall and movement 3 concludes with the dark undertones of a cold winter.  This production is geared towards a younger ensemble with smart orchestration and voicings carefully chosen to maximize any ensemble's potential. The use of electronics balances out the ensemble sound and allows a smaller band to create a lush and modern sound on the field!
 
    Visual ideas are a plenty to help bring each of the seasons to life with a great opportunity for a strong color pallet to define the landscape! This show could serve as a compelling soundtrack for a story of your choice, giving your design team some opportunities to explore conceptual ideas unique to your ensemble.

The Seasons

"Our lives are on a pathway. This pathway consists of where you've been, where you are and where you're going." Delving into both a literal and figurative meaning, this production explores the pathways of life and how we navigate them. The obstacles we encounter along the way define who we are regardless of which path we travel.  Staying in line with the other shows in the Beg/Int category we wrote tonal harmonies and brass/WW friendly key centers that help to make this score resonate with a younger ensemble. Marrying this wind sonority with some tasty and accessible percussion writing creates a dynamic sound spectrum.
 
    We like that this idea can be easily represented visually by making pathways on the field with drill design and potentially use large moveable props or other members to create the “obstacles,” but also has a deeper meaning that can be translated to an audience pretty simply through audio/visual coordination.

Drenched in the exotic sounds of India, this production combines a diverse palette of acoustic and electronic textures with a coordinated visual program based on the chakras, the energy centers that keep the body open and balanced. The musical avenues embrace the flavors of India while viewing them through a modern lens.  The percussive nature of Indian tabla drumming is undoubtedly a massive influence on the battery and front ensemble writing. Combining traditional North Indian rhythms with contemporary percussion writing proving to be a very exciting combination! 
 
    Reading the descriptors of each Chakra lends itself to countless interpretations on the field for the visual team.  Each chakra has a physical location and an associated emotion, providing guidance for movement, drill, and color on the field.

Movement 2 is a sleepy ballad for the afternoon lull and movement 3 hits the town with upbeat, jazzy rhythms for an upbeat nightlife.

"You are about to enter another dimension. A dimension not only of sight and sound but of mind. A journey into a wondrous land of imagination. Next stop, the Twilight Zone!" The general plot line of the show is a married couple enters a hotel in the middle of the night and madness ensues like only a classic episode of the Twilight Zone would allow. The incorporation of The Twilight Zone Theme Song adds to the audience appeal making this a highly entertaining show.
 
Visually, the goal is to set the scene of a hotel lobby as the stage with red velvet ropes, lobby furniture, and hotel-type items set around the field. Doors, giant clocks, etc. could all help in creating this surreal and mysterious hotel environment for the show. A clear plot line drives the visual design for this show!
 
Since having huge elevator props is unlikely, this version is set up to have the same effect but with doors.
Permission to arrange and perform needs to be granted to purchase this show due to the inclusion of copyrighted material. There is an additional $180 publisher fee (approximate and subject to change) for the use of the Twilight Zone theme.

    A deck of cards, a game of chance... The Gambler explores the four different suits both visually and musically through a contemporary lens. Each interpretation of the suit image: clubs, spades, hearts, and diamonds, is influenced by the style of the music within each movement.
 
    Clubs – is represented by the use of Earthy, tribal rhythms, and large pounding drums. The visual imagery of large mallets hitting membrane instruments is an explored motif. Spades – uses metal sounds, sharp/angular movement, long spears, and is very combative. This is a high-energy movement culminating in a percussion feature that ends with a massive battle sequence portrayed with the wind players holding a long spear prop (spade) in their hands. Hearts – is a poignant and moving ballad for the ensemble with possible couples pairing up visually here to represent the heart idea. Diamonds – This short segment culminates in a climax of visual/music “fireworks” as we bring the house down! Maybe everyone in the band has a highly reflective square on their uniform that remains covered until the closer, in addition to guard implements and extra props creating literal diamonds across the field.

   "You may say that I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one"  Conceptually, Imagine creates a unique environment that motivates whimsical events to unfold. Pristine, yet contemporary and artistically intriguing, this show can manifest differently with each group's design team using their own imagination to bring the concept into fruition with some possible visual/concept motives being: derby hats, bicycles, umbrellas, and balloons. Musically, "Pure Imagination" from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is woven throughout the entire show, culminating in an impactful arrival of the arrangement with a contemporary musical treatment.

   This high-energy show creates a fantasy universe where the performers are puppets brought to life and manipulated by the Puppet Master. Using music from Carnival of the Animals by Camille Saint-Saens (public domain, 1886), the classical playfulness of the music lends itself to the visual characterizations of the ensemble that will make this show an entertaining narrative production.
 
    Supported through the musical composition, the story of the show is told through the visual design.  The ensemble comes to life as puppets in the opening and in a peak general effect moment, the winds and color guard execute a big unison puppet dance, with elastic puppet strings attached to their hands and feet from above!  The show concludes with the strings getting cut and the entire ensemble dramatically dropping to the floor.

Puppet Master

How do we react to an impending life-changing event as it event becomes an unstoppable reality? A foreboding French horn melody heard in the distance portends the melody that will serve as the leitmotif of this ominous event throughout the show. A dramatic musical buildup of tension and energy represents the fleeting moments before everything changes when the inevitable event freezes all time and motion. The show closes with a restatement of music that represents the fallout of the event and the beginning of the rebuilding process. Uplifting and powerful music brings out emotions of solidarity and strength, bringing the show to a powerful climax! A large minimalist pendulum prop represents a timeline throughout the show, beginning in the far distance and making a journey across the field throughout the show. This large prop is used as a focal point for visual story moments as well as a featured location for soloists. The show can be translated into a unique story specific to your group as it was in the original production, or it can be an abstract show about the passage of time.

   Heartbeat is a production based off of the rhythm inside all of us; the beating of the heart. An accelerando as the heartbeat gets excited, a heartbeat motivating the foundation of the groove, the romantic hints and struggle within, and the inevitable flatline are all woven together seamlessly to create an emotional connection. The "heartless" drum feature with its sampled vocals is sure to be a crowd favorite at any show. This show is simple enough for everybody to enjoy but still has many layers of depth beyond the surface.

   "These are the ties that bind" is the final quote and of the show and the through line the connects each movement. Movement 1 focuses on physical bonds reflecting a dramatic struggle musically, the emotional bonds of movement 2 come to life with music that is hopeful and fulfilling, and the common bonds that bring people together are found in movement 3. 
 
    Bound has great potential for full ensemble integration of music, drill and color guard.  The original production utilized long elastic ties/ropes to bind the ensemble together providing a visual representation to the musical concept.

    A desolate landscape, lost in the desert, nomads roaming the dunes, the ultimate search for water, Mirage brings the audience into this unique collection of images in an unforgiving environment. Warm desert colors throughout set the mood. 
 
    The details of this show could be widely interpreted depending on your visual team's approach, taking the direction as abstract or as literal as you would like. Finishing the show is the epic discovery of water and the idea is to completely drench the field with blue in any and every way possible to totally change the color palette.
