jetman1287 Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 Why do so many corps need to change their endings? You would imagine over time, more focus could be put in over design sessions, as changing 90 seconds of a closer and subsequent cleaning takes away from other parts of the show. I understand the need for changes and updates, but why to completely rewriting the ending for so many groups? If they are looking to "hide" a cool effect until midseason, i'm not sure that really helps anymore. After a week or so everyone will have seen the changes, and it may be dirtier than the original closer had they designed it well in the first place.

USMKLAVIER Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 In terms of playing music backwards, the 18th of the Rach Paganini Variations is a prime example...so I guess Phantom did this, technically. (Was that 95 or 96?) haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

USMKLAVIER Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 Boston doing same music this year! Coolness, and on an online video, I heard a bit of Rach 2 in Crown's show. Sweetness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If only they could give Rach 2 a second chance or a least 2 more bars of music.. ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With THAT piece, I'll take as much as they'll give. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madalumni Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 Could be a cool effect...especially if they slip in a Victor Borge reference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeN Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 Reminds me of Carolina Thunder indoor drumline's last show, where they played (and marched) Overture to Candide backwards, then forwards. I heard that show - the backwards part was entertaining for about 10 seconds, interesting for about 10 more, and a complete mess for the next 3 minutes.

jthomas666 Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 like the Beatles myth, will we find a hidden message on the CD when Crown plays it backwards ?"The G7 buried Paul." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After a week or so everyone will have seen the changes, and it may be dirtier than the original closer had they designed it well in the first place. Why? Because a corp needs that little something to get the edge the last days at Finals! There will be at least 4 corps (maybe more!) within 0.5 of each other those last 3 nights. Throw in a Finals rewrite of an ending and the corp might get a couple tenths (or thousandths) and WIN. I've seen sure winners loose by a couple tenths due to a last night change and I've seen leaders spend time cleaning and slowly go down in the standings. Scoring seems to be all about presentation, so saving the 'best for last' seems to make the difference. Go gettim' Carolina! I want to see you up there in the Finals!!!!
