2022 Digital Program

The Cedar Park Timberwolf Band is proud to present our 2022 production, “MIRROR RORRIM”. Through a variety of musical styles and genres, we transport our audience to a modern and immersive landscape exploring both musical and visual reflection. The field layout uses mirrored props of all shapes and sizes as well as a beautifully designed art piece that serves as an anchor for events throughout the production. Our beautiful costuming is indicative of mirrored, reflective glass and audiences everywhere can look forward to our music, drill, and choreography to take on a “mirrored” identity.

Featuring the music of Shostakovich’s 10th Symphony and Billy Idol’s Rebel Yell, “In the Midnight Hour” will send your imagination reeling. Light turns to dark. Today becomes Yesterday. A mysterious creature walks the earth. Strong as stone, they are the defenders of good from the evils that lie waiting. And in the midnight hour, as the gargoyles begin their watch, a yell is heard in the distance…

Mandalas are created, then destroyed, symbolizing the impermanence of life. In the marching band activity, we work for hours, days, weeks and months creating and performing our show for the entire season, until it just stops. We never perform it again, but we treasure the memory of the beauty we created.

TRAINlapse is an idea that blends the familiar visual imagery of trains and combines it with the idea of time – bringing us an unmistakable sense of time and place.

The musical repertoire translates into a field aesthetic that is both modern and sets the scenes of the great hustle and bustle of city life. We tell our story through time and space, pulling on a high contrast time travel through the lens of the train riders.

Based on the poem Invictus by the British poet William Ernst Henley, the show represents strength and perseverance featuring our instrumentalists on the familiar songs “In The End” by Linkin Park, “Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger” by Daft Punk, and the familiar hymn “It is Well.”

“Illumination” depicts the journey that we go through as sunlight fades to twilight and a Moon Lit dark sky. Darkness shrouds the landscape before sun rays once again lighten the horizon and the Sun returns to Illuminate and complete the journey!

John B. Alexander High School Outdoor Performance Ensemble continues to inspire its audiences with its latest field production entitled “Tipping the Scales”. Our audiences are guided on an aural and visual journey that displays a life of equality, balance, and abundance to a life that is unequal and destitute. In this story we explore many emotions and ponder many questions with the hope that our audience leaves with a sense of not only inspiration, but walk away with the question of how they can make our world a better place?

The law of duality explains that two opposite results are born of the same thing. Nature demonstrates that for every spring there is a fall. In all of life, there must be death. And in a world of light, we will also find darkness. Our program melds this duality into a singular experience by illuminating, and in some cases, personifying the shadows that we cast. Through the use of sonic design, staging, props, costume, color, and sundial gnomons of epic scale, this production illustrates a scenario where shadows experience their own consciousness and “cross-dimensional” interactions with the real world. The 2022 Leander HS Marching Band is pleased to present: The Other Side of Light.

Arranger Ryan George revives the suspenseful music of Bernard Herrmann. Reel of Suspense encompasses music from classic movies such as: Vertigo, The Man Who Knew Too Much, The Day The Earth Stood Still, On Dangerous Ground, and more…

This show is based creating different perspectives with the same themes – music viewed through multiple lenses on the field. The production takes recognizable themes and weaves them in and out of new genres and textures creating a different perspective on the music we can all see “With Our Own Two Eyes.”

A musical representation of riveting melodies to get your heart racing.

In Plain Sight, the Ronald Reagan Marching Band 2022 production, explores the seen and unseen. From visual effects hiding performers on the field “in plain sight” to exploring the idea that we control our reality through the way in which we view the world. Often we miss important moments or details that are right in front of us, until we shift the way we see things.

When we feel connected to the earth, it can become like something alive. Staring at the colors of a spectacular sunset, being awestruck by the view from a mountaintop, standing alone in the middle of a dense forest, listening, or sensing the violent power of massive waves slamming into a rocky coast, gazing in wonder across an impossibly vast desert – we find inspiration, peace, humility, awe and joy all around us. These experiences deeply move us, they connect us to one another and, to the Living Earth.

Luminosity is defined as the absolute measure of radiated light or power emitted from an astronomical object over time. The brightest, most apparent luminous object in the sky is an evident sun…for the Rouse Band, the opposite antonym is the moon. The Rouse Band will put their neoclassic twist on their musical selections: Clair de Lune by Claude Debussy, Mercury from the Planets by Gustav Holst, The Night Window by Thomas Newman, and Moonlight Sonata by Beethoven.

HYPNOTIZE draws its inspiration from the artist Peter Kogler, as it explores the mind bending exploration of the hypnotic state.

Three moods, three palettes – simplicity is key. The Stony Point Tiger Band and Sapphire Guard will take you on a journey through the colors we see and the emotions they can create.

RetroWave has a synthwave aesthetic that draws heavily on visual elements from the 1980’s. The choice of music begs to question the possibility our virtually connected world has created a lonely and isolated society.

The Vandegrift HS Band and Vision Dance Company are proud to present our 2022 production, INTO THE GRID.

The “Grid” is an expansive digital universe that is seemingly endless and beyond our perceptions. We will explore not only what it looks like but also the sounds of this state-of-the art landscape. Our protagonists will travel into, through, and finally out of The Grid on this journey of sound and motion.

“I kept dreaming of a world I thought I’d never see,

And then, one day, I got in!”

We hope you enjoy – INTO THE GRID!

Based on the compositional device of “Divisi,” this show will explore the emotional and intellectual journey of how one idea, one moment, one emotion, can be divided into many possibilities. While these parts, on their own, may appear dissimilar, they are all equally important in creating the whole.

Shockwave is a show about Static sound and color and how quickly communication can spread.

Join the Charger Band as they take you on a stroll through the neighborhood; Mr. Roger’s Neighborhood, to be exact. This is a modern twist on a children’s classic television program. Not only will you will hear familiar music from the show mixed with joyous modern melodies, but you will see iconic colors and images from the neighborhood. Let’s take you back to our early years and we will be glad you stopped by, neighbor!
