From the 1993 Drum Corps International Championship Program:
Make no mistake about it, Medea was never a finalist for "Mother of the Year." Her vindictive savagery violated every standard of decency held dear to humans and mythological creatures alike. The vendetta she swore on her husband, Jason, resulted in unspeakable terror and tragedy for all concerned.

All the anger and scheming retribution found in the allegorical myth was captured in the sonically-searing ballet score of Samuel Barber's Medea, daringly brought to the field by Star of Indiana. Also included within the show are two sections from Bela Bartok's Music for Strings, Percussion and Celeste, a work written for an unusual combination of instruments. Parts are staged as in the original, with two identical groups of brass echoing the split string orchestras.

Ominous murmurings accompany the mysterious opening strains of the Meditation from Medea, soon leading into "Allegro" from the Bartok. A continual acceleration adds to the tension of the percussive agitation of the brass rhythms. After taking us to the brink of torment, "Second Meditation" (from the Bartok) provides us a momentary opportunity to relax and gather our senses - but not for long.

Dance, from Medea's Dance of Vengeance, builds upon a succession of stabbing rhythms, unforgiving in its relentlessness. The blasting volume of Medea's barbarous, bone-shaking rage paints a chilling and graphic testament to her final, fatal tantrum, intentionally leaving the audience in a shocked and jolted daze.
