Bordeaux Varsity 2015 Show Announcement

And last.... but certainly not least.....

Bordeaux Varsity will be performing SHATTER ME for the 2015 Indoor Season.

Show Track:  "Shatter Me" by Lindsey Stirling

Because this show is designed for our top ensemble, it will push and challenge our performers in the best and most effective ways possible.  We will explore new areas of body that we haven't visited before, and we will start getting heavier into weapon work.

We are also going to spend the season learning all about projection and how to sell a show to the audience.  This is because....

WE ARE GOING TO BE BALLERINAS!!!  (and I do mean literally).   The concept for the show is taken directly from the music video for the song.  Take a look and see what I mean:

You can go directly to the YouTube page HERE.

The floor will be split in half:  The first half represents the crystal ball the girls are captured in, and the second half represents the world outside of ball.  We'll start the show on pedastals, just like Lindsey is standing on in the video.  As the show progresses, we'll slowly break free from the crystal ball until it no longer remains and all the girls are free to be who they are, without the confines of a crystal ball telling them who they can and cannot be.

The girls will wear this costume:

Go big or go home, right?!?!?

....I am SO STINKING EXCITED about this show!!!!  It is going to be unlike anything the Bordeaux Winterguards have done before, and the production of this show is going to ROCK THE HOUSE!!!

Bordeaux JV 2015 Show Announcement

Bordeaux JV will be performing VIDEO for the 2015 Indoor Season.

Show Track:  "Video" by India Arie

You can link directly to YouTube HERE.

Bordeaux JV will be all about self-discovery and appreciation this year.  The show will focus on being true to oneself, and it will take the audience on a journey from trying to blend in to learning to stand out.

The girls will wear this costume:

The work will continue to mature and develop each performer, and will include body, flag, and weapon elements within it.

This show is all about being who you are and loving every part of yourself.  I cannot wait to share it with you once it hits the floor!!!

Bordeaux Cadets 2015 Show Announcement

he Bordeaux Cadets are going to be performing GOODBYE SHOES for the 2015 Indoor Season.

Show Track:  "Good Girl"  by Carrie Underwood

The girls are going to stay true to the sassy style of the Bordeaux Cadets, and there is NO better way to do that than with a Carrie Underwood song.

As with last year's show, Goodbye Shoes will focus on the continued development of those fundamental techniques learned in previous years and will push the girls toward more advanced levels of performance.

We will use this costume, paired with black leggings:

Bordeaux Beginner Guard 2015 Show Announcement

The Bordeaux Beginner Guard will be performing THRILLER for the 2015 season!

(The show track is THRILLER by Michael Jackson... just in case the title isn't clear enough!)

The show will still showcase all of the fundamentals we'll be learning through the course of the season, but it will be done with a little bit of MJ flair.

So saddle up and get ready to learn!!!  We're going to THRILL the audience by the time the showcase arrives!

So.... Since I'm WAY TOO Excited....

.....I'm going to do our show reveal a day EARLY!!!  :D

...Yes.... I know you love me!!!

So hold on!!!  I'm about to blow up your notifications!!!!! (although I highly doubt any of you are complaining about that....)  :D :D :D: D :D :D :D

Update

A quick update on our upcoming show announcements:

Due to the cancellation and subsequent postponing of the State Marching Evaluations at Tupelo this past weekend, I'm going to postpone our show reveal so our focus stays where it needs to be this weekend.  Remember that we must qualify for Championships before we get to go, and this has to happen at Tupelo!  This is why I'm pushing back the date.

With that said, your 2015 show announcements will happen on Friday, October 24th!!!  That'll give us this week to focus on our Evaluations, and it will give us a weekend to get the excitement out of our systems, so we can then (hopefully) refocus our attention on finishing our marching season with a strong performance at Championships!

Thanks for being patient with these show announcements.  I know you are excited!  I cannot WAIT to share them with you!!!

.....but, please........ let's get through State Marching Evaluations first!!!! :D

The 2014 Show Reveal!!!!

Band night is NOT the only good thing happening on October 17th!!!!!!

You've all been asking, our costumes have been approved, and I'm working on finalizing all of the details that make our shows what they are.

All 5 show concepts will be announced on October 17th.  This includes Bordeaux Varsity, Bordeaux JV, Bordeaux Cadets, Bordeaux Majorettes, and Bordeaux Beginner Guard.

Each ensemble will have their own blog entry, and I will post them separately, starting with the Beginner Guard and working up to Bordeaux Varsity.  Each post will include the show title, song selection, costume photo, and story line of the show the post is for.

I hope all of you remember how EXCITED I was last year about the shows we did!  They were wonderful, and you guys rocked them!!!  BUT......

I am TWICE as excited about this year as I was about last year!!!!!  As we grow and develop together, the types of shows we are able to do become more and more limitless.  This year is no exception.  All of these shows have been designed with YOU in mind, and I cannot wait to share them with you!!!!

So mark your calendars, ladies and gents!!!!  The 2015 Indoor Season will be here BEFORE YOU KNOW IT!!!!!

A Change in the Winds

Big changes have happened, and big changes are coming!!!

As I mentioned on the new and improved New Albany Auxiliary Blog, this is now the designated blog site for all things Bordeaux!!!  This includes:

Bordeaux Varsity Winterguard
Bordeaux JV Winterguard
Bordeaux Cadets
Bordeaux Beginner Guard
and
Bordeaux Majorettes

Since we are working to establish a very supportive and inclusive auxiliary environment, this seemed like the next logical step in integration.  I'm excited about how far we have come, and I am even more excited about where we are going from here.

Here's to the future of the Bordeaux Winterguards!!!  Stay tuned in the coming weeks for updates about auditions and your show designs!
