We'll get a Replay show sometime this week either Tuesday or Wednesday then I'm sure someone around here will mention them. I thought they would have scored higher than an 82 considering they scored a 78 at week three and it's now week 7. If we are going by the two points a week block rule they should have scored an 86 or so....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The word is that they spent the past 3 weeks totally re-staging the show. There isn't one set that's the same as it was 3 weeks ago. Apparently, if the staging put you in a different spot, you also had to learn parts for a new piece of equipment. Yikes! I could tell the difference and thought it was much better. They also are cleaner and much less droppy than they were in Nashville. I'm also happy to report that the bird wings are gone, and they have new butterfly wings.

dugg Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 (edited) i love this show!what a fantastic production.i'm suprised more fans aren't talking about this guard.i can see this show peaking at finals week and hope more of you will give this a second look. i understand the performers have had a tough season with major re-writes but they seem to handle extreme conditions with professionalism and perserverance.in the end this will be absolutely stunning. adam sage and his super talented staff are visionary and relentless in their approach and skills.they do not give up. there are so many multi-focus staged effects that there is never a dull moment.pay close attention to the difficult and unique release and catch positions,the wonderful choreography is totally congruous to the equiptment vocabulary rendering a seamless marriage between the two.breathtaking stratospheric tosses,a sumptuously layered flag ensemble,and top notch production values[floor design,costuming and flag design].i just can't say enough about this show and the talent behind it and only hope that others can see it as a true work of artistic vision! i have faith that the judges will eventually be able to recognize these superb qualities and credit them accordingly.

Guardguy89 Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 You know, I think that the music Phantom uses is what keeps me at a distance when watching the show. It just really sounds like the kind of musical track that was used extensively in the '80's. I keep thinking of Studio One when I hear the music (there's a reference for us "older" folk ) Later, Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dugg Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 (edited) hey mike,you could always turn the sound off and play one of your celine dion CD's! the music is michael tork's saxaphone concerto movemnt #3. has anyone seen the hidden chevron on their floor? someone smart once said "change takes time and within that time,beautiful things emerge"!

Musical_Spinner Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 (edited) So after re-watching PR I have found what bothers me about the show. Dugg mentioned the phrase "multi focused stage effects" and yes there is A LOT to see. Almost way too much. It seems like the pace of the show is "go go go go go go go" there is no natural ebb and flow of the show. There is way too much to look at with nothing truly grabbing my focus. They have all the color with the flags off in one corner of the floor and my eye is drawn towards it, but then we lose focus of the weapons being featured in the front of the floor. Another thing i worry about is their phrasing, like I said no ebb and flow. The phrases don't have a definite beginning and end in their equipment work which makes it less visually appealing to me. Go look at the medalists from the last 6 years or so and notice their shows feel complete and their phrases feel complete. We have a buzzword in the dance world called "Resolution". You've started a phrase, and it needs to be resolved before continuing, not left open ended. Their show sort of abruptly ends too which is bothersome. Maybe it's only me though. And a lot of this might be due to re-staging and trying to problem solve and really sucks for the performers who have no control over the tasks given to them. They did a great job keeping the energy going and really pushing throughout the show. Edited March 25, 2008 by Musical_Spinner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jak Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 (edited) Their show sort of abruptly ends too which is bothersome. Maybe it's only me though. I know that it's not their real ending. I don't know exactly what they have planned, though. And believe it or not, it's less go-go-go than it was before they re-staged everything.
