Various spring intersets to make

Who were the women beneath the sheets? Mourners before the lens, loss captured in a single negative bereft of their primary joy.

FIREBIRD 2012

Winterguard 2010 champion show
The end of the ride was staged to represent the pain and nostalgia that comes with letting go and moving on. A rollercoaster of emotions accompanies the process of saying goodbye, but after all the loops and twists, there is a light at the end of the tunnel that leads us to brighter days.

This is a depiction of the character I had to portray in Winterguard 2011-12. Her name is Natasha, and she's out to kill. The oppressors' red hat of wickedness taunts her and tries to bind her to an eternity of suffering on the red chair. To overcome the oppressors, Natasha must undergo the humility of comradery. She finally escapes from the realm after regaining her strength and showing the oppressors that lives are worth saving. As she walks into the distance, the oppressors are circled around the red chair, paying penance for their evil deeds and deciding for a change of heart.
