Is the whole corps going to shave their heads too...

On the Flo website it states that you can cancel the yearly subscription at any time... The yearly price is $12.50 a month (the monthly rate is $49.99)... what prevents one from signing up for the yearly package and canceling after the DCI season is finished and paying only $25.00 or so... yes, you must pay the $150.00 but a refund would be generated when the account is canceled.

The "props" look like they are from a grade school bible school production...

The use of those platforms (and the singer too - so far) lack integration into the show... what's the point of having elements that sit (or hide) for most of the show only to appear (or be drug out) for one number and then pushed aside (or duck behind a bass drum)_ never to bee seen (or used) again... reminds me of the percussion feature and the trampolines in the OOTW which should have been trashed before they ever started.

There were audible groans (and some laughter) when the singing began... and the gurad is really missing its "umph" (so far)... we've got a long way to go...

YIKES.

The worst part about the "singer" (thus far) is the lack of integration into the show visually and tonally... why is she hidden, and then just walks out and stands basically in one spot (front and center) like she's on "Crown's got talent"... She's mic'ed so she could be anywhere on the field... just like the percussion platforms the integration of the voice is sorely lacking, on all levels (why are they just pushed to the front) and unused until time to use them... reminds me of those trampolines which were their downfall. "IT IS" early... VERY early...

The singing is a distraction (for me)... especially since she just appears out of the "grey"... half way through... and even more so during the "closer" (as it is thus far)... Of course, we all know the show is FAR from finished, and she may very well be singing in the Radiohead - "preshow/dance on" which might tie it all together...

BOA will be a hoot this year - seeing all the bastardized versions of these airbrushed/crazy pants looks...

Do the shoes fade from grey to black as well? Where's the purple?

Looks like no rain in sight...

Do we suppose the entire guard is in the same look... time will tell. Green unis/flags etc. on a green field is/has always puzzeled me... but I guess it worked in 09. Anyone at the show tonight - I was goimng to go but 2 hours is a bit of a drive for it to be canceled for rain... and we're in monsoon season here in NC right now.

Clear? ... open top? ...Plume/feathers?

Anyone going to live stream this performance...

Are they going to live stream this performance as they have in years' past...

The "Uni-tumes" don't seem to have the same top as the photos from the reveal... the "cross stitching" in white is gone.

Wouldn't mind a look myself...

Sorry if I'm"late" on this one ... Wikipedia indicates the 2017 show includes Crown Imperial... and there was a video snippet posted of them playing it as well...

Is that Donald Trump .... he's the same colour!

When did George add the red guard unis?
