NYCFan Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 Ok, here is one that may be timely, given the imminent start of the Winter Olympics: Do you think Figure Skating would be BETTER or WORSE, if they allowed amplification of the human voice? (Parallels with Drum Corps include musical interpretation, athleticism, skill, timing, precision....etc, etc. Plus, the fact that we currently have the "miming" type of non-verbal performance in skating, just like DC once had....). Talk amongst yourselves..... :-) NYCFan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob J Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 Cool! put wireless mikes on the skaters so we can all hear them grunt and swear under their breathwhile they skate! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimisback Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 Do you mean the preformers? Like in corps? They would be out of breath, and panting. But they could have a pit. People that talk for them. No, does not work for me. Ashley Simpson comes to mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Ream Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 pre-recorded i would imagine would be ok, like some in DCI use and WGI uses a lot of Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerriTroop Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 If figure skating became more like WGI, it would be INFINITELY more interesting to me, personally. Especially if they did guard work, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kamarag Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 Figure skating is a colossal waste of a good hockey rink. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fourouttheforty Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 Isn't figure skating more about technical precision and grace rather than art and expression? If I'm wrong, they should totally put chairs and doors on the rink. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cybersnyder Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 Wouldn't a better parallel be if they allowed figure skaters to use snow mobiles as part of their performance? Hmm...... I like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
