Mood Ring

Mood Ring explores the wide range of emotions we experience as human beings, inspired by the classic mood ring. The entire ensemble starts in green attire, symbolizing normal or indifferent feelings, and each movement highlights a different emotion, with one section of the ensemble revealing the color that corresponds to that emotion. As the show progresses, the colors mix together, culminating in a dynamic and rousing finale. Mood Ring is a perfect challenge for advanced A Class ensembles but also works wonderfully for younger groups or those new to theatrical elements in winter percussion. With its focus on emotional expression, it's an excellent choice for percussion programs aiming to dive into the world of winter percussion.
