I've spent a lot of time thinking about what shows to do, and what specifically I want to spend our season focusing on. This year, I've decided to keep all of our shows happy and sassy, with an emphasis on weapons, movement, and toss technique. Each ensemble will approach these 3 things in its own way, but these will be the primary elements our shows are created around.
With that in mind..... here we go!!! :D
Bordeaux Winterguard - SAA
Show Title: His Eye is on the Sparrow
Show Music: "His Eye is on the Sparrow" by Lauryn Hill and Tanya Blount (From Sister Act II)
This show will focus VERY heavily on movement, both with equipment and without. Part of bumping up to SAA is upping the ante with our body incorporation. This is the perfect song and show to do this with. We'll use a plain white floor and this costume:
We'll use mostly cool colors for our silks: purples, blues, and hints of magenta. Our goal is to move with the same grace as the flight of a sparrow. This show will be beautiful from start to finish, and for the first time in 3 years, my varsity girls get to SMILE!!! :D
....although.... let's be honest..... you know it will still be highly emotional.... just of a different persuasion.

Bordeaux Junior Varsity - Cadet/Novice
Show Title: That Smile
Show Music: "That Smile" From the Broadway Musical That's Only Life
I'm not 100% sure which class this group will compete in. It will depend on how many students will audition, how many I take, and what age these students are. If I wind up with all middle school students, we will compete in the Cadet class. If I wind up combining high school and middle school students, we will compete in the Novice class. Even if we compete in the Cadet class, this ensemble will still be called Bordeaux JV.
Regardless of which class this group ends up competing in, this is the show the JV group will do. It is charming and upbeat, and allows us to create a sassy show that's full of life. This show will have a weapon focus. The vocal breakdown about 2/3's of the way through the song will be a weapon face-off with rifles and sabers. It's going to be tons of fun!
We'll take a black floor and cover it in large, multi-colored dots. We're going to use mostly cool colors for these dots, and use neon colors in our costumes and in our silk choices. We'll also wear this costume:
We'll pair these pants and this top with a pair of black leggings and a black camisole. This will keep your bellies and you legs covered, since this is a crop top and the pants are sequined lace. We're going to have a TON of fun with this show, and I cannot wait to get started on it!

Bordeaux Cadets
Show Title: Girl Party
Show Music: "Girl Party" by Mack Z
This show is going to be one giant girls-night-out celebration. We won't use a floor for this group, but the costumes will more than make up for that!
We'll pair the leotard and the leggings, and each performer will have 1 of the 4 skirt colors. This show will be cute, sassy, and age appropriate. I cannot wait to put it together!

Bordeaux Majorettes
Show Title: Labels or Love?
Show Music: "Labels or Love?" by Fergie (edited)
This is show is SASSY!!!!!!! We will use this show to explore the most important question a woman will ever ask herself: What better way is there to get over a break up than with a shopping trip? It is going to be full of life and character, and naturally, sassy beyond sassy. :D We'll wear these costumes:
Black is the only appropriate color for such a sassy show. We'll spice it up with lots of color in our props (yes... PROPS!!!) and in our equipment choices. It will be TONS of fun!!!
