Bentuk Pertunjukan dan Struktur Gerak Color Guard dalam ‘Story of Benteng Speelwijk’ oleh Speelwijk Drum Corps

This study aims to analyze the performance form and the movement structure of the color guard in Story of Benteng Speelwijk by Speelwijk Drum Corps. It employs a descriptive qualitative method, with data collected through direct observation of the performance, documentation study of audiovisual recordings, and in-depth interviews. The findings show that the performance form is integrated through seven main elements: the local Banten historical theme, movement, accompanying music, floor design (display), props, costumes, and make-up. The movement structure of the color guard is organized hierarchically into three main parts: (1) an opening section using the caping (traditional conical hat) as a prop, representing the daily life of the Banten community; (2) a core section that develops progressively from flag movement (song 1), through rifle movement and double flag movement (song 2), to a variety of props in song 3, namely ribbon bracelets, dance fans, flag movement, and silat movement, which portray the dynamics of conflict leading to the climax; and (3) a closing section featuring the raising of a giant flag and synchronized flag movement as a symbol of victory. The findings confirm that the color guard functions not only as a visual element but also as a medium of narrative representation that reinforces the dramatic flow of the performance.
