Description:

    Drenched in the exotic sounds of India, this production combines a diverse palette of acoustic and electronic textures with a coordinated visual program based on the chakras, the energy centers that keep the body open and balanced. The musical avenues embrace the flavors of India while viewing them through a modern lens.  The percussive nature of Indian tabla drumming is undoubtedly a massive influence on the battery and front ensemble writing. Combining traditional North Indian rhythms with contemporary percussion writing proving to be a very exciting combination! 

    Reading the descriptors of each Chakra lends itself to countless interpretations on the field for the visual team.  Each chakra has a physical location and an associated emotion, providing guidance for movement, drill, and color on the floor. 

    This show was originally commissioned for Chino Hills HS for the fall of 2016 and was released for the 2018 indoor season as a custom version adapted for indoor percussion.
