A big reason that John and Jim left Madison was because they were being boxed in on what they could actually do because of the pressure of the alumni. Bluecoats gave them freedom to reinvent each year.
Finally watched this on YouTube today. Excited that Madison is moving back in the right direction. Much improved. Hopefully they can continue to clean up enough to make it back to Saturday night!
Also, in other silent features that have happened in the past, the guard could potentially still count out loud and not be heard by the audience. With this feature being miced, it goes purely by what they can see since any vocals would be picked up and amplified. I'm sure they'll get it by the end, but the stretch from 10 to 10 is so challenging.
No, it’s Mylar. Heard it rips very easily and they practice on regular flags frequently to try to make them last. They’re also very different from a weight standpoint since it’s so light.

If that doesn’t work, go to their website and click events.
I feel like Dymaxion could be this year’s Bump. The splits and the interplay between the parts across the distance they are playing is so cool. I can’t wait until it cleans up. Those chord structures are just crazy.
