Hello Reddit!
We are all working together on this exciting project called Contemporary Color, conceived by David Byrne. Together, we're each collaborating with a Colorguard team to present a LIVE performance in Brooklyn and Toronto. We'll all be composing and performing original music LIVE alongside our teams at the performances.
Here's a video of David Explaining the idea to some of the teams: http://ift.tt/1cH25LY
This weekend, some of us are in Dayton, Ohio for the WGI (Winter Guard International) Championships and meeting our teams for the first time and wanted to get together and answer questions you have for us!

Hi guys! Thanks so much for joining us this morning. We can't believe there are so many folks out there that are interested in this zany project we're doing. We have to run to the arena to check out our teams perform in a few minutes, but we will be back here and there to answer lingering questions when we can. :) Hope to see as many of you as can make it out to the shows in Toronto and Brooklyn!! -DB, Tom, Lucius and Merrill
