My child is one of the performers in this video. They have read the comments. The team knows exactly how critical the audience and judges have been. They have endured every venomous comment, the half-hearted applause, and the low scores, to do what they love. Onyx demands the best from its athletes and constantly challenges the audience to THINK and FEEL. And they do it very, very well. If you truly feel the staff needs to know your feelings on the show, please take the time to contact them. But the athletes in the video? Please support their effort with kindness and respect.
For what its worth i liked the show! I also think most people liked it, just a very vocal minority really didnt like it.
I really appreciate this show, and thought it was a tremendous effort. I’m also glad they had a hopefully satisfying great finals run. I hope your kid learned so much this season about the real inherent worthiness of pushing the edge of what’s possible, of controlling the output and not the outcome, and that informs all their future endeavors. I also hope their recovery from the music goes smoothly and swiftly! 🫶 Well done, kid!
@@armand9199 Thank you! 🫶🏻
@@IsitriOm Thank you for your kind words. I made sure my performer got to read them, and it brought a smile to their face. 🫶
People have always protested great art.
I love love love the uniqueness of this group. You can always tell Onyx apart from any other world class team. Their finals run was truly incredible, this should absolutely be a show to be proud of
Greatest 10th place show of all time. If they had somehow managed to get this clean it would be among th most impressive shows I have ever seen
I agree. The minimalism left them SO exposed, such that every tiny thing (and, ok, some medium things) was so unfortunately loud. Brilliant in design in theory (especially loved the acro and thought it was really effective!), but I can’t even conceive of nailing it all the way through, and so the design in practice… leaves questions. Also, spare a thought for the poor performers having to listen to this for hours on end all season. Let the healing begin! 🤪
Well… I just watched their finals run and it really was much cleaner. Maybe I retract some of my earlier sentiments…
Yea…this is not the place to spread hate. I understand ppls thoughts on this show but it’s just kinda disrespectful and rude to openly hate a show like that. Hopefully the performers don’t take it to heart or let these comments discourage them. Regardless of the different opinions on this, the show is still very creative and unique, a very Onyx thing to do.
hugely ambitious, no question about that
I appreciate the risk but I don’t know if it paid off. Not having “music” and just having a single note speed up in tempo doesn’t give the performers any musical signals to begin and end choreography and technical elements. You have to rely on the rest of the group being where they’re supposed to be. I can’t imagine how difficult that is.
Their A guard did their entire show in complete silence.
That's the point.
The whole point of guard is to be able to preform you’re show based off of counts and muscle memory. It’s what makes it such a tactile sport
This is definitely visually artistic and the performers are amazingly talented but I was watching on my flat screen and my sister thought someone left the refrigerator open. It did give me a headache. For finals I’ll watch with the volume down. Again, great performance
I loved the unique nature of this show, really good job❤️
Even if it’s not a show for you, you should still be respectful to the performers and the coaches who spent hours upon hours designing and working on a show. The disrespect in this comment section is insane.
This show made my head hurt. That's about as nice as I can be right now. Good luck everyone, and thank you for sharing this.
There is a reason for that. There is meaning behind this art.
“The show was inspired by a famous pianist who was diagnosed with ALS, a progressive degenerative nervous system condition that causes muscles to break down and lose functionality. He lost his ability to move and care for himself, but when brought to a piano, he was able to play as he always had.
This is referenced by the piano notes and piano bench props.
The tempo of the piano note accelerates, the same as ALS does, and most other health conditions. It can be panic inducing and very confusing. Thats how the audience felt; uncomfortable and confused.
ALS is terminal, and the notes come to a sudden, slow, resting lull in the shows last moments before ending.
We were not told the inspiration of the show in order to keep people from knowing because thats the whole point; being diagnosed with something is confusing to everyone around you and hard to accept. So most people don’t disclose their diagnosis, especially to strangers.”
This show is such a masterpiece.
I like the single note. Great show.
Hard as balls!
It’s always so cool to see what this amazing group can put together.
Even though the track gave me anxiety, this show is the epitome of art.
If people are complaining about the note, just think that the performers probably have some trauma from that note cause that’s ALL they heard for DAYS of rehearsal! Great performance overall!
Wow! The visuals of this show are mesmerizing! I miss it having "music", but it's still gorgeous! Great job!
it’s just that,, even when they are suppost to be in time they aren’t, there is always one person off that ruins the effect. i’m always impressed by how onyx simply does what they do without any care, that takes balls, but i feel like the preforms hide behind the fact that most of the show is a ripple, so when they finally have to take accountability with a group toss it kinda goes south. idk
supposed.
They really like the note Ab
This comment section is crazy toxic, wtf is wrong with you guys? If it wasnt your cup of tea, cool. Move on to a different video.
I know everyone is criticizing the design analysis but we need to focus more on the cleanliness and the fact that a world class guard is having issues initiating together. I don’t mind the song choice or the drill or design but the fact a basic skill of initiation is not being demonstrated in A WORLD CLASS GUARD is troubling. I love onyx but I suggest that the directors and staff look at this for the next year.
I'm honestly amazed at what they managed to pull off though. Considering the nature of their music and the rigor of their choreography and the complexity of the show in general I would not expect any guard to be clean. They had one of the most difficult shows I have ever seen.
@@mattyteeee6944 oh I agree!! It was honestly spectacular and difficult! It was just an odd thing to see in a world class guard but who knows,, they could’ve changed everything the day before and that was why. I’ve been apart of guards where we change everything like 30 mins before
The one-dimensionality of people’s comments here is concerning. I don’t know Jack about the colorguard world, but I at least know art when I see it.
Is this not the whole point of the show ? (Edit; no hate obviously I think the timing and the design is meant to be written like this)
I like the show visuals but I will admit the constant Ab note playing over and over again gets annoying real quick. But performers are really good so I can’t complain too much. Nice show Onyx
i love this show so much. onyx will never stop amazing me with their out of the box show designs!
WHY IS IT JUST BEEPING
Those poor performers. Imagine rehearsing to this all year?
The performers only really have about 6 months with the track. Plus if they really didn’t like it they wouldn’t have joined but they have enough trust in their staff to know why they made the music choice
Let me first compliment the talented performers in this group who are AMAZING. They were excellent!
However, the design staff should definitely have taken the audience into more consideration when designing this program. I’ve heard so many people mention headaches from the soundtrack and I think that’s where you cross the line from tasteful to distasteful in show design.
It is one thing to challenge your audience artistically and intellectually with a program, it’s another to alienate them entirely, and this is the ladder. It’s fair game to criticize any and all art and this show is one of the most pretentious things I’ve ever seen. The soundtrack is grating and makes this show unwatchable.
Don’t forget your audience next year (Onyx design team). No one wants to spend money to perform or watch something like this.
It was a terrible show, the worst this year. Music is annoying; there are so many mistakes and boring
Would love to see you direct a team of 50 guards and come up with a show half as decent as theirs if you don’t have anything nice to say don’t say it at all buddy
Definitely not boring, it was by far the most memorable show of the night I can't even begin to imagine how difficult this was to rehearse and perform. The flag solo and rifle work in general were the biggest jaw droppers of any group and I couldn't even be disappointed about the group parts not being clean because of how amazing and ambitious this show is to even attempt.
@@AdyanMacca sorry but I can say whatever I want, and this show was terrible.
@@mattyteeee6944 they only memorable moment in this show is the annoying sound of the piano.
@@leoovall tl;dr
It's very unfortunate when the extreme talent and athleticism showcased by the members is grossly overshadowed by the musical (noise) selection.
I'm sorry, but whoever chose this "music" should be fired from the design team. I've only watched this show once and that's all I can do; it literally left my ears ringing only halfway through. Horrible, horrible choice. I can't imagine what it must sound like in person.
I'm autistic and wouldn't have thought to bring my headphones to a show like this. But with this show I would have needed them!
I watched this in person last night at finals and had my head in my hands trying to soothe my migraine from this sound more than actually watching and appreciating the performance

Something to think about when deciding to judge others publicly and negatively.
@@sloopcamotop502 I really appreciate the lens in. ALS took my aunt, and this totally tracks w our experiences.
@@sloopcamotop502so they created a show that causes almost as much suffering for the audience as the disease would?
