Description:

“I see a read door and I want it painted black”

Based off the famous Rolling Stones song “Paint it Black,” we use the imagery of the black paint as a metaphor for our inner demons. The journey of the show revolves around the influence the Visual Ensemble has over the rest of the ensemble and the struggle that creates.

Paint it Black was originally the Scholastic World Bronze Medalist at WGI Championships in 2025 performed by Chino Hills HS. This show was released for the 2026 indoor season. 

*Perusal score available upon request

Permission to arrange and perform must be granted to purchase this show due to the inclusion of a copyrighted material. There is an additional $320 publisher fee (approximate and subject to change) for the use of the song “Paint it Black" by The Rolling Stones.
