This year marks the 15th competitive
season of the Irondale Winter Guard. We are excited to bring you our 2004
production.
This year's show is based on the famous choral piece the Requiem Mass by
Mozart. Being in Scholastic World Class for the second year, the staff wanted
to revisit this piece of music and explore it at a world class level. And we
just all really like it!!!
The show will have many of the same qualities you have come to expect and
enjoy from Irondale, incredible performers, great floor and music that we
know you will enjoy listening to! We do not intend to translate the Requiem
literally, rather take this profound piece of music and give it a fresh and
contemporary visual presentation. While watching the show, focus on the
complexity of the show as well as the performance qualities the members bring
to it. It is a hard show but the members are doing a great job!
