About "Lightsource"
The 2008 Cougar Marching Band show is a harmonic journey from darkness to light. A simple concept,
but there's more to it than that. When we begin we will illustrate the absence of
light. To do this, we will use opaque fabrics, create shadow effects, as well as
dark illusions. By the end of the show we arrive at our lightsource and the band
will quite literally light up the field musically and visually sparkling with intensity.
What does searching for the lightsource mean? That's something you'll have to
Newsletter design done by decide for yourself.
