Let’s not get too cynical. I would image the rehearsal block was for the alums who played along with the corps during the encore. I have no inside knowledge but the singing looked pretty spontaneous to me.
Just watched MN show and I really like the tweaks at the end. The hornline movement looks like it can clean-up to something fun and the unison flag work is a real improvement from the early season spread out ending!
Unfortunately it is becoming universal. Even high school sporting events have started doing it. Heck, I remember when I was a kid you could go to the high school football games for free after halftime! Good Ole Dayz.
I don't know if we can read anything from the scores tonight, they are pretty off for everyone. BAC closer to Scouts but Scouts are closer to Bluecoats AND much closer to Cavies (from way back in June). As everyone says... come on regionals...
Hoping to capitalize on the buzz being built by the Scouts closer, NYC Ford dealers paid Derek Jeter to drive around town in a Mustang with Empire Sate of Mind playing. <<Mustang Commercial>>
