Bloo next - looks like they're going to raise the roof (literally) - looks like roof trusses coming out

Blue pants aren't that bad life - as good as the horn line is, it's a little disappointing they put SO MUCH STUFF out there

Holy. Poop. Cadets battery - that is all. Horns to die for. The narrator looks more like a TV evangelist.

Phantom's silks are awesome...the uni change works but still don't like the headdress...someone dies (yay...) another pit that's too loud

Umm...yeah. Martha Graham meets the Mummenschantz meets Green Acres. Fast, stylized Conquest at the end. Love the corps proper unis.

Madison's music is excellent - they have a LOT more work to do than Cavies at this point. Much less comfortable with the drill.

Liked this Cavies show SO SO much better than the last two....turn down the put though

Anyone want to stop and say hi, Section 212, row 15 - I'll be the guy in the 2-7 Olympic flag baseball shirt....good luck to all the corps!

Sorry about that, I meant to post a general announcement and clicked "quote" instead on my phone...

Box office is open

Forecast now looking up for all of you heading here to NE Ohio: Saturday - A shower or two around the area in the morning, then partly cloudy in the afternoon. High near 80F. Winds NNE at 5 to 10 mph. Chance of rain 30% Saturday night - A mostly clear sky. Low 56F. Winds NE at 5 to 10 mph.

If you're interested in a better vantage point for the wedge move, search YT for Madison's 88 performance in England (in the rain)...audience response is awesome... Or, you can just use these... Part 1: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HKxg0lMO9Fc Part 2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w2sEKCh8Rsg

At lest the logo at the lower right has settled the uniform/costume debate...

In our section, the response to that question was "Hold the pickle, hold the lettuce..."

This has (recently) been my main wish for Finals/FN: as a stand-alone option...

"...and the logo has been transformed and repositioned in an exciting new way that highlights and pays respect to the ​ ​original." By putting a couple dots on the sleeve and limiting the logo to the guard outfit? Hmm... Love the "Frozen" analogy! IMO, they could have paid more homage and still been up to date (BAC for example)

To the (original) topic of this thread: I believe the designers are HOPING that narration is more acceptable, given its prominent usage in the current Championship show. Will it become more prevalent? Who knows. FWIW, my feeling is that there have been far more cringe-worthy uses of narration/voiceover than applause-worthy ones. As far as the current Championship show, it took me awhile, but I thought the counting voiceover parts fit very well. I still do not like the love story narration. At all.

Lots of things to like about the uniform: graphic, BAC details, etc.and looking forward to seeing them. Do wish they would have maintained some white, and IMO should have more red...

I was there too! Part of the traveling "groupies" for Finleyville as a matter of fact...love that they're in the pic The deluge...oh. my. Water running down the alley between the field and the school was so deep it was over the curbs...My Mom had aspirin in her purse in those single dose packs and it dissolved...We got back to the Holiday Inn in Delaware (I believe) and it hadn't rained a drop there and we looked like Ark refugees walking into the lobby...

Then whenever we see one, and someone says "There's a Bob!" We drink....although I think that's been done before for something...

Mmm, Five Guys... Sorry, couldn't help myself...

I can't seem to make it embedded, but... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q57xDoy-6Xg

Anybody need a ticket?

That was the point I was trying to address with my post - offer higher res versions (currently 640 x 480?) at a higher price... I didn't necessarily mean make our own hard copy "collections" - i'd be more than happy with the option of having full-res electronic versions on my network drive
