From the 1989 Drum Corps International Championship Program:
The British have invaded America. But unlike the days when one light meant by land and two lights meant by water; this invasion, by coach busses, is welcomed with open arms. Star of Indiana has immersed themselves in the glory and pomp of British tradition with new uniforms, a new identity, and some of the best-loved music ever penned by British composers.

Star's color guard features two unique visual elements. One group is attired as Highlanders, to interpret the loving lyrical musical moods. The other group, the Redcoats, interpret the shorter concise sections of the music with a more articulate approach. The two groups set up a visual counterpoint to each other, helping the eyes to hear what the ears see.

William Walton's Henry V emphatically declares that the British have arrived. This brassy, regal work creates the mood of the older, traditional Great Britain. Shields, coat of arms, and other auxiliary equipment representing heraldry will be much in evidence.

Gustav Holst's Song Without Words follows, visually capturing the serenity of a traditional English garden. In Holst's "Fantasia on the Dargason," butterfly flags are seen visiting the garden. The show is brought to a royal conclusion with Walton's famous Crown Imperial, originally written for the coronation of King George VI, representing the Great Britain of today.

In the spirit of British hospitality, Star of Indiana invites you to join them on their musical voyage across the ocean. It will be a jolly good trip.
