Spring Show (combined version)

The audience watched, spellbound, as the performer threw a flag high in the air. Every eye was trained on the performer as the flag flew down towards her. Will she catch it? The colorguard member easily catches the flag in a graceful movement and flashes a wide smile at the crowd as the audience explodes into cheers. This year's Spring Show was on Sat, May 8 from 5:00 to 7:00 p.m.
World Guard practiced twice a week after school for four hours and constant weekend rehearsals. A Guard usually practiced from 3:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. on Mondays and Wednesdays out on the volleyball courts. Freshman Aileen Ju often came to practice “thinking the worst and how much [she] didn’t want to be there. [But] as practice continue[d], it became more and more enjoyable with all the amazing and fun personalities [that] make[s everything] worth it.” As for Percussion, practices were held twice a week. But each practice was always full of energy because the instructors consistently encouraged Percussion members to try their hardest, so that they wouldn’t be caught off guard at the actual performance.
Starting off the Spring Show was a guest performance from the Arroyo Colorguard. Colorguard's A guard, performed their show "4 Minutes to Save the World," under the theme of superheroes. All the A guard performers were costumed in fitting superhero outfits--right down to a small cape and knee-high boots--as they danced away with Peter Save's Paris remix of Madonna's song "4 Minutes." World Guard showcased the show that they performed at the WGI competitions, "Sensory Garden." The theme for World Guard's show was nature and performers skillfully conveyed those meanings as they painted nature scenes and waved gold, blue, and purple flags, which represented the sun(?), water(?), and flowers(????) respectively. Foothill’s Dance and Drill Teams gave a guest performance as well. A beautiful and moving duet dance was also performed by Colorguard captain senior Katherine Chin and co-captain senior Christine Lee with the song "Redemption."
Our own A Line Percussion took the stage soon after with their performance "The Tread," which was centered Confucius and his philosophies. Fittingly, A Line performers donned red and gold oriental Chinese dresses black and gold decorated Chinese outfits that helped emphasize their Chinese theme. Open Line's performance, "Legacy," revolved around the impact of legacies and how they are left behind. Open Line member, sophomore Alex Stevens explained "Legacy" as a "fast paced, exciting and entertaining show that [he] wish [he could've] watch[ed]." Varsity Percussion (VPR) performed their WGI show as well. Their show, "Legend" embodied elements of destiny. The final performance of the evening was colorguard's "curtain call," where every single colorguard members danced together to the song "Say Goodbye(?)" Especially since this is her last year in AHS and colorguard, Katherine said that she "really enjoyed Spring Show because it showcased everything that we've worked for and it's amazing to bring guard back together as a whole to conclude the year off as a unit with the "curtain call" finale routine."
To junior Varsity Percussion member, Coleen Ju, the most rewarding part of the Spring Show is “the support [given] from everyone.” After years of performing in the Spring Show, Coleen has developed the passion to “love [the] Spring Show." A Guard member, sophomore Johanna Gunawan, remarked how "the entire season has been so much fun, and I'd like to share the excitement and enjoyment we had...with the members of the audience."
All in all, the Spring Show’s audience viewed a variety of performances, ranging from the Serenity if World Guard to the upbeat presentation of Varsity Percussion. This difficult feat of pulling off Spring Show was made possible due to our Colorguard and Percussion; but more importantly each and every individual of each performing arts group. As the stress and pressure piled up, Coleen knows that “it’s the great friends you make in your program that help keep you grounded. Especially Colorguard, [since the only thing] to worry about is spinning for those few hours.”

Of course, such perfection didn’t come naturally, Colorguard and Percussion had to work long and hard for such skill. World Guard practiced twice a week after school for four hours and constant weekend rehearsals. A Guard usually practiced from 3:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. on Mondays and Wednesdays out on the volleyball courts.

Each practice was always full of energy because the instructors consistently encouraged Percussion members to try their hardest, so that they wouldn’t be caught off guard at the actual performance.
Colorguard juniors woke up extra early to “kidnap” the seniors in the annual Senior Kidnap. Colorguard members dressed them up, took pictures, and just had fun while enjoying breakfast. But this day wasn’t just all fun and games, Colorguard members had to arrive at the North Gym at 8:00 a.m. for another two hours of practice. They were given just enough time to go hoe, shower, and arrive back at AHS with their hair, makeup, and costumes done at 3:45 p.m. When they arrived, they had another hour rehearsal.

The final performance of the evening was Colorguard's "curtain call," where every single Colorguard members danced together to the song "This is Goodbye" by Rascal Flatts.
As a wrap-up of the year and show, Colorguard members met at Aileen’s house for a Powwow where everyone expressed their feelings about the year and how they are going to miss the seniors. Freshman Christina Zhou even recalled everyone becoming “really sentimental, and atone point almost everyone was crying.” There were just so many feeling and emotions to be expressed, the Powwow didn’t end until well after one in the morning!

A guard theme isn't Superheroes anymore.
Its "4 Minutes to save the world."
(It says so on our winterguard sweaters)

Par. 3 (I think)
Practice started at 10 am.

World Guard-the three are: sun and birds, waterfall, and a temple.
and all three also include mountains

Kat Chin and Christine Lee's song is "redeemed"

and finally;;
The powwow actually didn't end until 3 am x___x
i just left at 1:30 ahhahhaha xD
