Colorguard is Science:
It
is exact, specific and it demands precise execution. A designer's drill is a chart; a graph which indicates x and y coordinates
for constantly changing geometric shapes and forms in both time and space. Our equipment and props are always pushing the
laws of physics with force and speed, action and reaction. All of this with an incredible control of time.
Colorguard is Mathematical:
It is rhythmically and metrically based on the subdivision of time into
fractions which must be done instantaneously. We have angles and degrees, both acute and obtuse, sequences, ranges, and hypotenuse.
Colorguard is a Language:
It is a visual picture alive with message and meaning.
We use interpretive phases, sentences, and words many times with music which creates a most complete and universal language,
to be recorded for others to see, feel, and understand. It is a language which is recited and shared many times both near
and far.
