Time to join FloMarching?

[GlenI]

I saw one event so far. Used the app on my iPad and streamed through my apple TV. Video quality was very good and had no bandwidth issues. The audio seemed to have balance problems. Some things were clear and defined, while occasionally the whole ensemble sound would be muddy without detail. It could have been the set-up and team at that show, or it could be a learning curve for FloMarching as a whole. Overall not a bad experience and worth the $$.

Sorry to threadjack but how do the fees and prices work?

you pay by the month - so if there are 15 days left in the month you pay for the whole month and see the remaining shows in that month -

best value is to purchase at beginning of month so you see all the shows for that month -

let's see if DCI or flo surprises us with adding any extra show sales to add to the monthly subscription cost....

Also, the multi-camera work is pretty bad. There are too many extended takes on minor details, while missing major visual impacts. I have yelled at the TV more than once. It reminds me of the awful Finals videos from the early 1980s. I will assume Flo is still learning each of the shows and will improve multi-cam by Finals. 

ha ha! kind of like... "OK here comes the drum solo.... oh wait!... kid in the pit getting ready to play triangle! close up on that.... for 30 seconds! with artistic filter star effects!"

I watched it for Minnesota last weekend and didn't have any issues.  Sound was pretty good, if not exactly DCI-In-The-Theater.

If this is correct, that means I will be paying for two months to get finals.  My loss now.  Looks like I will pay the same $100 just like last year.  At least I will get Finals without the additional charge.

This is SO true.  We watched the Minnesota show and it was very good quality, no technical issues.  However, the multi-cam was absolutely terrible!  They kept switching to close-ups when there were great whole field visuals going on.  It was a bit frustrating, IMO.

OK - I was under the thought that if I purchase today it would be good for 30 days from now. Is that not true?

This is true. I bought it at the end of June and my subscription is good until the end of this month.
