World of Pageantry

how many people cried during Fantasias performance? Or atleast had to hold it in. Lord knows I did... and i didint even know Stanley! it is truly one of the most brilliant shows Fantasia has ever done in my opinion. You can perform and make an audience happy, angry, or even scared! but to perform so well to make the audience sad, to truly feel emotionaly moved, that is true talent! bravo Fantasia! i cant wait to see it again at WGASC champs!

Yeah, I started to feel teary-eyed especially on the line that said something like "all you have left is the memories". It just really hit me since I have experienced a loss before so I knew what they were talking about even if it was not the same person.
It was a great show though, such a turn-around from last year, but they did it very nicely!

anyone know the lyrics of their show? cuz sometimes its hard for me to understand it from the echoin in the gym..

wow, i really wish i could have seen them

what song/theme are they doing?

i think the lyrics are posted in a different thread...
i didn't cry because i'd seen it before, but it definately moved me. it's a great show.

I have to say that this is the most emotional show I have ever seen. The part where the text said "the memories are all we have" or something to that effect, I couldn't help but look at all my team mates around me and cry.

I'm going to miss them.



Vanishing Act by Lou Reed

It must be nice to disappear
to have a vanishing act
to always be looking forward
and never looking back

How nice it is to disappear
float into a mist
with a young lady on your arm
looking for a kiss

It might be nice to disappear
to have a vanishing act
to always be looking forward
never look over your back

It must be nice to disappear
float into a mist
with a young lady on your arm
looking for a kiss

It must be nice to disappear
to have a vanishing act
to always be moving forward
and never looking back

How nice it is to disappear
float into a mist
with a young lady on your arm
looking for a kiss

Looking for a kiss
float into a mist

Even though I had seen their show many times before, I was on the brink of crying on Saturday. It just touched me differently when i saw them that time. Also one of our instructors is on the guard and when he waved to us after the show, you could just see the love he has for fantasia and winterguard in general.

I have never cried so hard in my life and I also didn't know stanley wish i had though...plus ive actually seen the show abut six time but the finals one hit tthe hardest...I think you mustbe very powerful to make someone cry through perfomance

hey leo do you have the narration?

after our performance i cried and cried till i had no tears left. our intructor talked to us and when we went to see the world guard shows Fantasias show made more sence than ever even though i had seen them many times before. when i get old this year will always stick ount in my mind. Fantasias show and my instructors have changed they way i think about life and how i go in to different things. to everyone in my guard i will miss you emensly and i luv you all, you have all changed my life in some way and you will always be in my memories because "memories are all we have left." Fantasias show was amazing and they are great people i got my picture taken with them they are all soooo nice!!!! YAY!!!!

Omg i have seen Fantasia all year and thier show really didnt seem like much but when i saw them on Friday i was so sad it just touched me in a way i didnt think the show could. it was truly amazing the perfromance quality and expression everyone had on the team.

i got teared up i didnt quite cry but i was getting close. at my school we recently had a 15 year old girl pass away in a house fire and it affected all the people at our school. this show just kinda hit me cuz it made me realize we really only have the memories....

i got a little teary eyed also and i couldn't even move let alone speak during the performance. i was frozen in my seat watching them. it was also amazing to see my instructor out there, such an awesome dancer and they're just so good!

yes.. i must admit.. iw as really on the burge of crying after fantasia's show..
really.. it was.. bout the 3rd time ive seen the show.. nd the one @ finals was really emotional for me.. like crispcookie said.. one of our instructor is there nd it was going to be his last performace after like.. i dunno how many years..
nd then wen i saw that lyrics it made me think about it even more!!
that reminds me.. i should get the iw dvd.. hm..
but back to the subject.. their show was very touching..
"it must be nice to disappear.. nd never looking back"..
wouldnt that be the best line if you're not coming back to your guard after uve been it more then few years..?
but go fantasia! im very glad that they got first place..
