For those complaining about the way the narration is done, watch this video. I get it now...

I like the show. I don't "get it" at all - I have no idea how any of this ties together or how the theme e=mc2 even applies. And the fact the narrator has to shout at the end of the ballad to be heard over the hornline makes me :sad:/> . But I do like the show.

" GO PD!!"

The voices are instruments. Would you ask why it is necessary for a screamer to wail above the brass section during a big brass moment? I wouldn't. So if you think of his voice as an instrument and the rest of the assemble is at crescendo......it would follow that he would do the same.

a screamer wailing above the rest of the brass is more than fine to a lot of people....it's called the Madison Scouts we knew and loved

Hi Mike!

This is the source music. It has both the numbers and the ballad, narration and all.

I also saw some people having opinions on him raising his voice over the horn line. Here's mine:

My opinion of the voiceovers - I think works in the ballad. However, the speaker needs to convince the audience it works, so he himself needs to believe there is something VERY powerful about what he's saying. Meaning him raising his voice is good to me. Yes, it's to be heard, but it's also something called "feelings" and "emotions".

I mean, here's the deal. This "John" is SO in love, there is no boundary to the love - there is true infinite, forever, no amount of numbers, no measurement of "1, 2, 3, 4" can amount to the quantity of love he holds, which is impossible. Or is it? In his own words, "Impossible, you say?"

And next to all of this infinite amount of love, she sits, asking, "Do you love me, John?" What?? What do you mean, "Do you love me?" Without her, John is nothing! Without her, he becomes finite, he finds his end. He has no reason for being!! She questions his love, but it is so important for her to know how much (which she actually could never know, because it's supposedly infinite). His entire existence is at the mercy of her, and he MUST let her know. He alone cannot be infinite, but he can try his hardest to express it to her. His entire existence is about this moment with her, and all the infinite moments following.

And that is why I like the voice-overs in the ballad, including when he almost shouts, "Without you, I have have no reason for being!" If anything, he could sound more frantic, more intense, more desperate to let her know how much he loves her. I mean, c'mon. He's shooting for infinite here.

Very nice view on it! :smile:

True... except with this corps, the horn line is a lot better than the voice! :tongue:
