A majority of the rain has been forecasted for the morning hours with chances of precip dropping off in the afternoon. Keeping my fingers crossed!! Forecast from weather underground
.....I'd hate to say it, but it works. I just watched the video and my thoughts were along the lines of "...wat," but I guess it fits with their theme. Pianomen are usually rowdy, risqué rapscallions.
Narration during the ballad has improved a lot since the speaker has practiced it more and gotten more confident with it. Went from kind of corny to pretty powerful. Fantastic show, absolutely fabulous. I'm not sure I've seen anything like that this early in the season.
I think people are distracted with all of the hype about Crown, BD, Cavaliers, Cadets, etc and all of the new uniforms. I'm looking forward to Madison, I can't wait to see a picture or video or anything, this thread deserves some love!
