I gotta tell ya, I sure am tired at the end of the show. It's fun and a total work out for the performers and the fans (you should see the "guns" I've developed from conducting this thing )
- opening statement starts at 112 and kicks up to 172
- 2nd movement starts at 170 and backs off to 160
- 3rd movement is 168
- 4th movement (aka ballad) is 80'ish
- percussion feature / horn feature is 144 (not on the field yet)
- closing statement is the same as the opening statement (360, get it )
And we're on the move alot !
Seriously though, I'm a founding member of the corps and have been on the field with CV for 13 straight years. This is the most demanding show we've ever done. We have been, and continue to work on conditioning. Any fatigue issues present now will be gone in short order.
We've stepped up our game in all areas this year. You guys are really going to enjoy the final product. I can't wait until you get to see the total package !!!
