PARADIGM PRESENTS
RIPTIDE WINDS
RIPTIDE WINDS is an Independent competitive ensemble representing Central Florida. Our home base will be in the Kissimmee area. The ensemble was formed from the existing base of RPT Percussion presented by Paradigm Performance Groups.
Over the last few years, we have seen the lack of funding for many local music programs and, unfortunately due to COVID-19, the possibility of no Fall band this coming year. After many meetings this summer, we felt we could form an ensemble to provide an additional outlet for learning and performance opportunities. The Admin Team and instructors have been associated over the years with award winning High School bands, Drum Corps and Indoor Percussion and Guard.
We are seeking musicians (winds & percussion), color guard and dancers. We are looking for membership from those in the greater Orlando area, North to Daytona, East to the Space Coast and West to Polk County. Our goal is to participate in local FFCC contests as well as Winter Guard International and possibly continue into the summer as a DCI Sound Sport group.
The process of obtaining more information or expressing interest as a member, staff, or volunteer can be found by visiting and liking our Facebook Interest Page https://www.facebook.com/groups/1164557310545115/ or by contacting us at riptidewinds@gmail.com

Paradigm presents our 2014 Program
SHCHEDRYK
Paradigm is proud to present our 2014 program of "Shchedryk."
Shchedryk (from the Ukrainian word shchedryi; "bountiful") is a Ukrainian shchedrivka, or New Year's carol. It was arranged by composer and school teacher Mykola Leontovych in 1916, and tells a story of a swallow flying into a household to sing of wealth that will come with the following spring.
Paradigm will perform throughout the FFCC, at WGI Regionals in Nashville, TN., and Orlando, FL., and at the WGI World Championships in Dayton, OH.

Paradigm Plans a 2014 Return from DAYTONA BEACH!!
During the latter part of 2012 and into 2013 the Paradigm Board of Directors have been working to position the program for the future. One of the important tasks to complete was establishing a contemporary branding approach for the organization. When the organization became active again in the summer of 2011 it was important to become an IRS 501 (c) 3 Non-Profit Organization. That was achieved at the end of 2012 which opens up many opportunities (and responsibilities) to serve not only the young people of Florida, but also establish strong community relationships. With that in mind, it was decided to relocate the organization to the Daytona Beach, FL area in 2013. That is being accomplished as you read this posting.
The new Paradigm logo reflects our new home in the color choices and well as the strong sense of bold motion. The Paradigm family is looking forward to the future. Keep checking back often for news and updates going forward.
