I'm gonna have to drain my bank account writing "reality checks" to all you choreography haters. The 18-24 year old college color guard captain/choreographer's job is to create a 2-minute-ish routine that effectively interprets the music with respect to it's spirit and style. The routine is intended to entertain a crowd of sober, well-behaved football fans whilst the under privileged football players rest in an non air conditioned shack at the end of the field. My free clue continues below . .
The music is was the theme from a 70's TV show, right? Was the melody brought over centuries ago from ancient Polynesia? PLEASE! It was a fun, campy score from a Friday night TV show. The routine this choreographer created was appropriately fun & campy. Neither standing in military fashion doing drop spins nor traversing the gridiron inserting the occasional la'grande jette would have been appropriate or entertaining. This routine was quickly created, taught, & executed for a 3 week life. Deal
I highly doubt that the choreography was intended to offend anyone as twilliam043 said... and maybe a little research could have happened but at the same time, how many guards, dance lines and drill teams take the time to go read all about a certain dance before performing? It's not like they can change it now. AND the guard definitely does not "suck" or "force the audience to focus on poor showmanship." That is just poor judgement on your part, SO sorry that it does not meet your expectations.
@ShastaDeluka Dude, not only did the guard elicit a "WTF are you doing?" from me too, but it also shows bad choreography and execution. I mean, really, college guards can do better. It's not an opera, @twilliam043, but band, your guard is supposed to support your show and make it better, not suck and force your audience to focus on poor showmanship. Learn to dance! Yeeee.....
@ShastaDeluka I stand corrected...3 people from SFA and a native Hawaiian disliked this. Shasta, it's just a marching band field show not a world premiere of a ballet. There is no need to feel offended.
That was Adam who lost his mouthpiece at the beginning of the show! Atleast I had a spare in my back pocket to give him! lol Great team-work though! And learn how to spell my name!
