Chippewa's show, written and choreographed by their coach Rob Ardelan was called The Rebirth of the Dying Swan. The music was from the Ballet - The Dying Swan. The guard began with hooded costumes portraying sad, emotional swans who were slowly approaching death only to have the music change to a fun, bright and alive tempo creating the rebirth with smiles, feathers, confetti and the excitement of saber and flag spinning skills.
