Kamarag Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 Ok, Troopers, that voice over intro was very cool. I was skeptical when the female voice started, but by the end I was sold. Nicely done! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke4496 Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 Loving the Troopers show! Can't wait to see them the 23rd! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hughesmr Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 See, and to my mind, if you're going to do a show that uses a lot of voiceover/character work, you have to put on your big kid pants and go all the way with it (which Colts do). Blue Knights use a lot of voiceover too, but don't go big the same way. They're playing it safer, but it's less convincing, as a result. All IMHO, of course. I, respectfully, disagree totally. IMO BK hits just the right balance with spoken word, musical choices and mood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Front Ensemble Dad Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 Love the Colts show!! On the Fan Network, every word of narration could be heard and the marching and drill looked amazing! This show has is going upward FAST!!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaritoneDad Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 Colts just hit it out of the park!! Loved the guard uniform change, and the music and marching were right on! Go Red Team!!! I agree! I believe we'll see even more changes, possibly by next Saturday! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slingerland Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 I, respectfully, disagree totally. IMO BK hits just the right balance with spoken word, musical choices and mood. And to me, it's the disembodied voice of a college sophomore who's convinced that her poetry is really deep. So there ya go. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasgre2000 Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 Really? Go find Spielberg and John Williams and tell them they've been f---ing up all these years. You do realize that many people criticize Williams and Spielberg for being too emotionally manipulative in their work, don't you? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hughesmr Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 And to me, it's the disembodied voice of a college sophomore who's convinced that her poetry is really deep. So there ya go. Fair enough. Colts sounds like a high school sophomore to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaritoneDad Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 It's not narration, it's voice over. It's easy to confuse the two...but yea, it's pretty heavy and unnecessary most of the time. Which is sad, as the kid does it well. Reminds me of Cadets' "This I believe" if it had been done with decent voice acting. Which is what they've claimed all along! The 2014 Colts present...Dark Side of the Rainbow, an ambitious step into the integration of theatre and the pageantry arts. We invite audiences throughout the land to join us on this journey of discovery. Melding narrative within a musical landscape, the Colts approach the creation of their program as an “Orwellian” cinematic musical. Utilizing a full complement of brass and percussion, along with color guard interpreting iconic rock albums The Dark Side of the Moon, OK Computer, and Pablo Honey...a single actor…on a very large stage, gives a classic soliloquy with inspirations from Shakespeare to Roger Waters to Radiohead. Veteran arrangers Chuck Naffier (brass) and David Nelson (percussion), working hand in hand with storyteller Wayne Harris, coupled with the vision of Marc Sylvester, create a story that will challenge our usual expectations of a drum and bugle corps show. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That may be the understatement of the day, in fact. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
