A celebration of light, rhythm, and renewal, Shine takes audiences on a journey from dawn to dusk and back again. The show opens with an electrifying Sun Dance, blending primal percussion with sweeping electronic textures as the ensemble circles clusters of radiant color guard “suns.” From there, the energy intensifies through “The House of the Rising Sun,” bold and powerful, before giving way to the warmth and joy of “Here Comes the Sun.” The mood deepens with “Golden Hour,” a lush and flowing reflection, and finally bursts into exuberance with “Another Day of Sun” from La La Land. Dynamic, vibrant, and full of spirit — Shine embodies the endless power of light to inspire, renew, and move us forward.
