From The 1992 Drum Corps International Championship Program:
Star of Indiana explores the many facets of America in "American Variations," a collection of inspirational music written in honor of the nation by esteemed symphonic composers. The production serves as a travelogue through the values that contribute to a sense of pride in America. The individual selections stir up patriotic images of flag waving, the country's historical foundation, praise of the land hand hope for the future.

With melodic lines intertwined, Morton Gould's Star Spangled Overture is a set of modern variations on the national anthem, filling the field with a visual pageant of red, white and blue. William Schuman's Chester Overture presents an exploration of historic America, with maces and colonial drums adding to the visual authenticity. Like a patchwork quilt, a homemade antique look is achieved on the flags with separate panels of stars and stripes, a motif repeated throughout the visual representation.

Gould used variations on America the Beautiful to create Amber Waves. Viewed in brief dream-like dance tableaus are bits and pieces of Americana, offering a haunting tribute not only to the American spirit, but also to the sanctity of the land upon which the country grew. Inserted into Gordon Jacob's Flag of Stars are a number of patriotic melodies, exuding confidence and optimism in the America of tomorrow. The show ends with a return to the America of today and a full-blown push of the Star Spangled Banner.
