The great thing about color guard is it's all up for interpretation. So for everyone asking "what's the story line?" "So is it for Christianity or not?" The show itself isn't meant to give you an answer, it's supposed to inspire you to come up with the answer for yourself

This vague WGI "it's up to interpretation" copout is usually promoted lame designers who don't know how to stage a relatable dramatic action with an impactful ending. In the professional arts, that vague approach doesn't fly. So basically it's a disease found only in WGI and Dance Moms. In the real world of professional entertainment, a production's point of view is bold, intentional, focused and fiercely specific. The choreographer is proud of his bold message, not hiding behind mysterious riddles. Professional productions have a specific, bold intent. The meaning of this show is unclear. Make it crystal clear to the audience. What are you saying? Half of these audience members don't get the meaning you're trying to convey here. Professional performing arts can broach much more complex concepts because they can use words, but that's no excuse. This show is just another vague WGI "shrugger".

@@jesuspectre9883 LOL WHAT?!?!?! Guard is a creative medium. Just like painting. Just like dancing. Just like sculpting. All creative media allow for open interpretation. That is quite literally THE essence and point of art. So I find it hilarious you are essentially saying art SHOULD NOT be subjective. When that's literally the point! Like hello? If art ISN'T meant to be subjective, it loses its complexity and nuance and ability for people to analyze and interpret for themselves. Vague is the wrong word. Abstract is a much better word. Think of abstract paintings.

@@FuriedHearts This is not a solo canvas. It's a massively collaborative performing art with music, movement, symbolism, a timeline, a theme, and agreed upon meaning. As soon as you have more than one artist on a project, there must be agreement of artistic purpose. That "up for interpretation" copout doesn't fly when you have a budget of $200,000. Also, music of substance has specific artistic intent, a specific objective, relatable by the composer. An audience can only endure so much vague esoterica before it's time to go to concessions.

I agree! These shows don't have to convey a specific narrative with a concrete outline or meaning. Sometimes the goal isn't to tell a story, it's to evoke a theme or inspire emotion or illustrate a thesis. Color guard is a unique medium of storytelling in that way.

I think it's about how you have to make your own decision. You can't be half-in and half-out. You either believe it or you do not. At the end one girl refuses to believe while the other chooses religion. It really isn't trying to take sides. "There either is a God or there isn't. There is no other possibility. There is no third option. There cant kind of be a God." I hope this helped.

It's called "preaching to the choir" which means "trying to make believers out of people who already believe, or convince people who are already convinced." It shows us different viewpoints, those from the Christian and Atheist perspective to illustrate that it doesn't matter which we are, the other viewpoint won't sway us, we're already decided on which idea we believe.

This show tiptoes around the argument about the existence of God. But just the fact that the issue is even being addressed in public and with the use of public funds is a sign of the evolution and advancement of the American consciousness. This show addresses the grim truth that religion is used as a means to subjugate people, threaten them and profit from them. The designers of this show must have used a micron weight scale to make sure that each movement and each stage picture over-weighted neither side of the argument. After all, they're using public funds and aren't paying taxes. It's a tennis match between atheist Bill Maher and bombastic evangelists (some of whom are now in jail), and it's coy and ambiguous and evenly weighted and aggravating as shit. We get it. But here's the straw that tips the scale and breaks the camel's back. WGI grew out of Republican-style parade units supporting the military during WWII. You know, onward Christian soldiers, and Glory Glory Hallelujah and all that. That's why guards spin rifles-- they used to guard the American flag. It's true. WGI came from drum corps, which were founded as military-style parade units supporting the war effort before and during World War II. So here we are in a show in an activity that was Judeo Christian military-based, and now WGI is questioning religion and religious wars and the abuse of right wing Republican authority. The activity has really changed. Now we have evolved to the point where we are publicly questioning the validity of the threats that come from the Republican military industrial complex. Last year alone the US spent $700 billion on war and war efforts and paying defense contractors in twelve months. The US military has more office space than twice the amount of office space in all of New York City. It's big business. And amid all the good work that soldiers do to "protect our freedom", the reality hits you on the head when you realize that our nation spends more on religious wars than all other nations combined. Religion is used as a bully for capitalism, against sexual freedom, against the assault on women's right to terminate pregnancies, in support of American wars for profit and in support of the Christian agenda. And that's what makes religion despicable. And even addressing that issue even for a moment is what makes this show so important.
