The sun is our ultimate source of life. It nourishes the planet, enabling growth and harmony, while it simultaneously wields great destructive power with its intense, searing energy. Burn invites us to reflect on the delicate balance between creation and destruction, reminding us of the sun's profound impact on both our world and our souls. The show begins with the sun rising over a calm morning. It quickly transitions to a darker tone as the sun’s wrath comes forth. Movement 2 takes us to a fiery mood with Night on Bald Mountain mashed up with Set Fire To The Rain, inviting a color palette of bright oranges, yellows and reds to the field. Movement 3 brings in the powerful ballad Burn from the musical Hamilton as we shift into a reflective and contemplative mood. The show concludes with Here Comes The Sun on a positive note to celebrate the balance between creation and destruction and the sun's essential role in the cycle of life, beauty, and transformation.

To The Edge is an inspiring journey of courage and self-discovery. We must push past fear and embrace uncertainty, knowing that every challenge — no matter how tough — is a step toward growth. Despite setbacks and doubts, we learn to leave fear behind, forge our own path, and rise above, proving that true strength comes from daring to go to the edge. This show features plenty of subtle moments in the music to lean into the 'edge' theme, such as the battery having an exposed moment in the opener where they play on the edge of their drums. In addition to being a compelling marching band show, To The Edge is a great vehicle to teach your students about strength and courage.

The world is alive with color! Each of us is a work of art in progress — our own canvas, colors, and inspiration. Green personalities are compassionate and harmonious, valuing relationships and empathy. Red is for the determined and dynamic, always living with passion and speed. Blue reflects those who are thoughtful, appreciating nature’s beauty and seeking deeper meaning. Yellow personalities are creative, optimistic, and inspiring, drawing others in with warmth and positivity. The world needs your unique colors. Fill your canvas with life, and together, we can brighten the world. Never forget: you are the piece that makes the difference! In addition to a vibrant color palette, the puzzle motif will add depth and variety to the visual aesthetic of this show. The Piece That Makes The Difference reaches beyond the yards of the marching band field and can be a powerful vehicle for empowering students to believe in themselves.
