WARSAW — Warsaw Community Schools’ Winter Winds group heated up their performance and earned the honor to compete at next week’s Indiana Percussion Association Winds State Finals at Center Grove High School. They qualified by increasing their score by 6.1 points from their last performance and narrowing the gap to first place by one point.
Awarded top placement for Best Visuals at Pendleton Heights High School Invitational and third place overall, this group’s feverish performance was hard to miss. The group utilized 92 different visuals and dance moves all while playing their instruments to illustrate the changes in music. This nearly six-minute performance is made up of nearly 50 different set moves that ebb and flow with the music’s flames and icy cold tunes. These visual moves happen simultaneously, transforming the tarp from flames to cool water. The group has been trained by professional dance instructors to elevate their movements.
