Commissioned by BAM and Luminato Festival

With support from WGI Sport of the Arts Note from David Byrne

I got a request in 2008 to use some music I’d written and recorded for a Robert Wilson collaboration I did in 1988 called The Forest (1988 Next Wave Festival). It’s orchestral music, largely and not that well known, so when what sounded like a dance troupe made up of high school and college-aged kids wanted to use it I said, “Yes, no charge.” All I asked in return was a video of the performance, out of curiosity.

Months passed, I forgot all about it, and then I received a DVD of the World Championship competi- tion—scores of teams at the peak of their form. I sat down, popped in the DVD and was gobsmacked (as the English say)—it wasn’t halftime routines, but something else entirely.

I saw it as a vernacular art and performance form that had evolved outside the influence and pressure of the media gatekeepers in big cities. That by itself was refreshing to me—we get a bit smug and insulated and self-important in our little bubbles. This was an art and performance form of the people—the programs they create showcase their concerns, their joys and enthusiasms. Some of those concerns are, I saw, surprisingly dark and serious; folks out there have a lot on their minds and here is, it seems, a way to express those concerns. At other times it is a way to celebrate beauty, humor, skills, love, and the healing our collective wounds. It deserves to be more widely known, I thought to myself.

As I watched, I saw that all the teams were working to pre-recorded music—mostly montages or edits created by their designers and directors. The music use was sometimes familiar and sometimes inven- tive, but to be honest it wasn’t going to set the antennae of my NY friends aquiver. But, I thought to myself, LIVE music by cool contemporary acts would do that! What a tempting concept!

I let the idea lay for a while, but it wouldn’t go away. I did a test edit on video—using footage from the DVD, I replaced the sound from the competition with some music from my personal playlists and it worked! It appeared, in most cases, to sync up incredibly well. It matched so well that when I used the video to shop the concept, I had to reiterate over and over “This is NOT the music from these performances!” Even so, many of those who saw the video didn’t believe me. The sonic and visual evidence was in front of them—should they believe my boring insistent entreaties or the fun sounds and footage in front of them?

Eventually we found in BAM and Luminato Festival two willing partners up for taking the plunge on this idea. A simple idea, but one that would require 3+ years to execute and put into place (thank you for your perseverance, LeeAnn).

We approached the color guard governing body, Winter Guard International, early on—as we knew we’d need their blessing. I mean, can you imagine Mr. Psycho Killer approaching a high school about working with their kids? As things progressed we brought in a production team for the event, folks who had done downtown NY theater, music shows, and sports events—as well as circuses and other shows maybe a little closer to this.

And what exactly is this? Is it an art piece? Performance art? A spectacle? A pop culture mashup? Worlds in collision? Well, all of the above, really—though if you need a genre or slot to put this in, I’m afraid I can’t help you. I’m writing this before it happens, obviously, so my fingers are still crossed, but from what I’ve seen at team rehearsals and heard of the music as it rolls in, we’re in for something unlike anything else.
