Candid Insight Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 1 minute ago, Cadevilina Crown said: All the Academy needs now is a bullseye at the end of the show with Porky Pig coming out of it saying "That's all, folks!" I agree - but they also need to get Elmer Fudd on the field with his big wabbit gun. Academy is technically better than last year, but for me the show does not go far enough to really sell the theme. I really enjoy the show, but it does not have as much impact for me as 'Drum Corpse Bride' even though the performance levels are higher in most captions. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has both of those issues. It's not witty or rude (in the root sense), both of which Loony Toons were, and there's no sense of dramatic structure to it, which the LT had in spades. It's a greatest hit medley played by someone other than the original artist. The costume design is right on the money, and the kids are talented, but the whole megillah? Meh.

smj02 Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 Interesting that as much flexibility in instrumentation that SoundSport provides, all the groups at SA and today are drum corps. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope they continue to improve the next few years!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The structure is there... duck season turns to rabbit season, rabbits are hunted and captured, rabbits turn table and torment hunters, rabbit season turns to duck season, truce has been made (for now). The FloMarching crew haven't done a good job of capturing those moments up close, but I can at least see those bits. But if Flo can't figure out where to look, the average audience member probably can't either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
