How about Don LaFontaine or Peter Cullen? Those two are the gold standard in movie trailer announcements and both have some definite "pipes." FV

So, Saturday night was great and all. One of the most entertaining marching activities I have been to in my entire life. HOWEVER.... Is anyone else sick and tired of people yelling at quiet and delicate moments during Finals performances, either to make the recording, or to try and get their friend on the field's attention? Case in point: I was watching the Cavaliers, and it was during the the very quiet part near the middle. I was trying to wrap my mind around the fact that some of those kids paid large sums of money to march around quickly and cleanly but not play at all during large chunks of their show, when the kid sitting RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME decided to stand up and inform his friend on the field from thirty rows from the top at the Zero Yard line on side 2 that he was, in fact, the man, and it was their show, and noone was going to take it away from them this time, and he was awesome, and the Cavaliers were awesome, and their drums were the best. Couldn't it have waited for after the show, or before the show? He did it twice during their show, nearly the same thing, that went on for like 10 seconds. I almost grabbed him and had him take a seat, but the thought of a lawsuit prevented me. I mean, it wasn't just this kid. Those of you that were there probably heard similar things. I understand things like the Vanguard yell, and I am Spartacus, and anything else that is designed or generally accepted, but is this now an accepted practice? It ruined my experience of an otherwise enjoyable show. Any other thoughts on the matter? FV

If I am seeing it correctly, I believe there is also their version of the cross to cross in at the very end. Do I see a Crown to a Crown, or am I seeing things? Isn't the crown on its left side, they do some 8 count rotations, and hit that last crown before they pull it forward for a 937.8 count tone at which to throw babies, toddlers, and small children? And, yes, they do play that last tone at FULL VOLUME.

When do scores start? FV

Amen, brother. I'm a bit tired of space chords being given a ton of credit if the move they do while playing them is cool. FV

What do some people have against Jay Webb? I've spoken to him a few times, and he seems like a nice guy, and very knowledgable about what he does. FV

And there's the fix. PR 94.6.

Just .2 them all apart. Still plenty of room. FV
