  • I am in love with 2:46-3:14.

  • That was BEAUTIFUL! And I'm glad I saw some guys, most guys where I live would care too much what everyone thought. My school just started a winter guard, and after seeing this I know we have some hard work ahead of us. Once again, BEAUTIFUL!

  • 5:50... rifle catch. enough said.

  • always loved Paradigm and its not just because my color guard instructor is in this show ;D

  • SO much body work with the flag! I love it <3

  • When ever I watch a winter guard show... I always remember the three or four moments that really made an impact. This entire show was a moment. :)

  • I watched this show for the first time when I was junior in highschool and was speechless, I just wanted it and I'm a junior in college who spins a world class finalist team and I'm still speechless. By far one of the best shows ever.

  • Its hard enough to do flag work with my hands, & then they start spinning with their feet.. Its fantastic. (:

  • when you think about how much and how LONG they practice its pretty amazing. they are awesome at what they do and it looks like they love it! :)

    im in colorguard at my jr high and i love it!! and videos like these inspire me so that i can do my best every practice and competition

  • PARADIGM PLANS A RETURN TO THE FLOOR FOR THE 2012 SEASON! Visit our "winterguard" website (can't post the address here but we're easy to find!) for more information!

  • can someone send me a dvd for basic of your step we want to upgrade our colorfuard here in philippines

  • i remember seeing them..oo those were the days..(I loved this performance)..

  • In small words, these guys are fancy. What class are they in?

  • This is one of the songs I want to request for my guard to do next year. This is so amazing and I love how in sync it is :) What class did you compete in? I love how much energy the guard has they all look they are having the time of their lives.

  • There sooo Good!" Amazing" There Overall score is hella high! i love everything in thier routine flag feauture, the dancers, the riffles, they were by far the best performance i had EVER watched! Each part of it was Absolutely outstanding.. i love the part when they threw the parallel and lied down and caught it!!! that took my Breath away!! Duude i wished i was in that guaard,lol!

  • im not suprised that they got first place there really good

  • I can see why they got 1st place. And that flag feature was absolutely awesome! I love how it the majority of it was done while lying or sitting. How interesting!

  • my current winter guard instructor is in this video. (: 

  • PERFECTION!!!!=D

  • I love how even when there's a solo type thing, it still looks like a group. :) I have watched this I think a hundred times and every time it makes me smile.

  • amazing our gaurd is almost to this

  • Go for it man! They did a parachute toss and then a cartwheel buti did a j-toss and then cartwheel cuz it gives the flag more airtime.

  • I'm gonna try the cartwheel toss.....bad idea?

  • summerville high school in South Carolina did a show just like this in 2010. they had the strings and all

  • Whoever wrote the show did simply an amazing job. The work when they were on the floor and spinning with their feet was stunning! I tried it an failed those people are talented!

  • I watch this about once a week just because it is so beautiful :)

  • it should be illegal how amazing this guard is. I have never witnessed a show of this magnitude and I cannot wait to see more. What I wouldn't give to be near as good as any of the members of this guard.

  • This performance is oh so amazing!

  • THAT TOSS WITH THE ..THE CARTWEHEEL IT WAS.. SOOO COOLLLL!!

  • That was one heck of a show. O.O

  • So many familiar faces on that floor. Brings back memories. You guys were always awesome. I still think my favorite on-the-floor flag feature was from 2003 (I think that was the year. Either way, the year of the evolution theme show) Love.

  • you guys need to go on americas got talent i could watch the beauty of your prefomance all day.

  • simply amazing

  • The ground work is amazing in this show!

  • i'm glad they got 1st place, i don't know them and i live in texas ;p love it love it love it

  • This is still my favorite routine ever. I considered moving down to Florida to go to school so that i could join this group! I love Dakota Blue (my current guard) I just wish we were more contemporary and competitive like these amazing performers!

  • Hi all just some facts for you. If you have a question just ask. I know first hand, was on staff.

    Not all girls there were 3 boys; ben, Eric and Joe Joe.

    It is independent world.

    Yes the group did use their feet. ( hell to clean)

    And yes it was a great year for all involved

  • This has to be the best performance ever! It really speaks to me....Great job guys!!!

  • That is amazing. All of the feet work. Wow

  • This has always been one of my favorite shows of all time. I was so happy when my guard medaled in the Paradigm AA division last year. When I was a freshman I wanted to join so badly...but that was their last year. T__T I love Paradigm!

  • how do you catch a parallel laying down on the floor behind your back? awesome.

  • this show still puts me in awe

  • is this a high school guard or college?

  • I think they're an independent or an open class...

  • Jessica Marino you are amazing!! im so lucky to have been taught by you!! You made my 4 years in high school unforgettable! I remember watching you practice for this show in the band room after "our" practice!!!

  • this is the best WGI routine ever

  • what is the name of this song?

  • Typical Situation by Dave Matthews Band.

  • wow. this was amazing.

  • O wow it's sooo weird watching my coach perform!!!!

  • i remember trying out for winter guard and being the best one there but they wouldn't let me in cause of how large my chest is. it pissed me off.

  • that's so unfair. ): if I had a winter guard team, you could join it.

  • what?! oh my god, that's not right...you can report that i'm sure...then maybe my guard would stop making fun of my chest. =]

  • Their so graceful :D

  • :O I'm trying out for winter guard.

  • So pretty!

  • i miss them...

  • Where can I find this live version of typical situation? its amazing

  • I bought this live version from Itunes a couple of months ago - If I remember correctly it was the one that had sold the most thru them.

  • This is by far one of the best performances I've ever seen.

  • oh wow.. the strings are SUCH a unique idea..

  • oh my gosh, the floor is a GUITAR!!! another amazing performance by paradigm

  • freakin amazing

  • OMG you guys are amazing

  • what song is this?

  • Typical Situation live by Dave Matthews Band

  • thank you

    it's a great song

  • damn...i will never be that good...

  • sick foot work <3

  • love this show! and i lie how their weapon line is small. makes it more exclusive. then again, i prefer seeing a lot of flags because it adds more to the effect.

  • Never seen 2:33 before. Awesome Job!

  • i think that was brilliant, when im in older i want to be that good. i suck at rifle.

    but the flag work was great. all matched.

  • It's very hard to criticize this performance! The flag work is incredible, great rifle line (maybe a little small?). I sometimes feel like the music isn't really matched by the performers (when I hear this song, I think of swells of happiness and confusion).

  • virtually flawless

  • that was pretty rad

  • that was soooooooooooooooooo amazing did you see those sick rifles and those ripple tosses omg the flag features were the best holy crap sooooooo great

  • Gorgeous. But how come not everybody's hair is the same?

  • Because it looks cool like that. Not everyone looks good with the same hairstyle. Their uniforms don't match either.

  • and if you listen to the lyrics..

    "everyone is diffrent"

  • thats the most creative thing ive ever seen in my life.. its absolutely amazing!

  • this is amazing! were actually using this song for our winterguard for this year because of this show...freaking awesome!

  • This is probally the most physicaly demanding , most content having beest f ing gurad ive ever seen, great job!

  • It's called typical situation by the dave matthews band. I wish rosemount had a winter guard :(

  • Anyone know the song?

  • Thats amazing! Coming from someone who only does fall guard(we dont have a winter guard at rosemount) its something new and amazing.

    The rifle work is tiiiight! :)

  • WOW! This is the best color guard routine I have ever seen - amazing for sure!

  • wow..<3

  • I love this show.. but the more i watch it, the more i notice that the rifle section is not that strong.... but either way.. amazing show!

  • you dont think that rifle line is strong? Their tosses are definately strong.

    they have amazing ground work too!!

  • That was literally the most mazing guard show evere; the giutar string thign was so creative and I love the part where they all layed on the floor and twirld the flags plus some of those rifle tosses were pretty darm amazing

  • O_O how do you spin your flag with your feet?! THAT'S SICK

  • with your ANKLES....

  • haha with yer ankles not feet =]

  • eeep my bad ^_^ but that's still ridiculous cool!

  • you guys had to have gotten at least 4th cuz east got 2nd last year with a worse proformance

  • I love, love, love this show!!!

  • Thats a very neat floor.

    I love this show so much :)

  • I just keep watching this over and over :D

    My favorite guard video ever!

    The level of comfort and skill the performers have with their equipment (as well as their dance ability!) is truly astounding.

    Now if I could only learn how to do spins with my legs while laying down!

  • this is probably my favorite show from 05, at least in my circuit. i also think it's interesting how much colorguard has changed in just 3 years since 05.

    and it's typical situations by dave matthews
