Show Title
YEP
Repertoire
The show is a playful and ironic deconstruction of the marching arts activity itself. It starts as a self-aware, overly simple, and almost lazy performance before transforming into a meticulously complex and high-energy production. The overall message is an unenthusiastic agreement ("Yep") that gives way to undeniable passion and execution.
🎵 Musical Repertoire
The music should contrast the simple title by featuring complex arrangements, with a few recognizable, mundane sounds or simple melodic fragments thrown in for comedic effect.
Movement Title/Mood Music Selections
I Just Another Day "The Entertainer" (Scott Joplin) – Arranged to sound deliberately slow, simple, and slightly off-key at the start, like a low-budget parade band. Gradually, a sudden burst of complex, driving original music cuts in, as if the performers "wake up."
II Mundane Magic "Symphony No. 5" (Shostakovich) – Use the driving, repetitive energy of the second movement (Allegro) but intersperse it with very simple, repeated percussive sounds (like a metronome or a single, loud 'click').
III "That's All Folks" Original Composition / Minimalist Textures – Starts with a cheesy, ascending musical phrase (like a major scale) that gets repeated over and over with increasing speed and ornamentation. Builds to a huge, confident, final chord.

💡 Visual and Staging Concepts
Costumes: Start with uniforms that appear deliberately plain—perhaps gray with minimal striping. As the show progresses, performers should reveal vibrant, full-color under-layers or accessories (gloves, sashes, plumes, etc.) hidden beneath the plain exterior.
Props: The main prop is a series of large, simple punctuation marks (., !, ?).
Movement 1: The marks are scattered or lying flat, representing a lack of energy or focus.
Movement 3: The props are dynamically assembled or raised to form a giant, emphatic exclamation point (!) or the word "YEP" itself, backlit for maximum effect.
Drill (Choreography):
Movement 1: Features extremely simple drill forms—straight lines, simple block moves, and basic box drill. The performers' body carriage should be exaggeratedly relaxed until the sudden musical shift, where they snap to a high-intensity, technically demanding set.
Movement 3: A chaotic-looking but tightly controlled visual breakdown and reformation, ending with the entire ensemble hitting a final, powerful company front on the word, "YEP!" (vocally projected or as a loud brass hit).
🎨 Color Guard Storyline
The guard embodies the emotional journey from indifference to total commitment.
Movement Color & Equipment Concept
I Neutral/Gray Flags & Rifles Guard choreography is stiff, robotic, and minimal. They act like they're bored, occasionally shrugging or checking a watch.
II Bright Primary Colors (Red, Blue, Yellow) on Flags The guard sheds the neutral flags, taking up bold, highly technical work that reflects the Shostakovich intensity. The move from simple to complex should be highly visible.
III Metallic/Glitter Flags & Sabres A display of virtuosity. The confidence and passion are fully released, using high tosses and complex exchanges to affirm the theme's final, enthusiastic conclusion: "Yep, we're doing this."
