If the corps vehicles have always done that in Allentown, I never noticed it until last night. Very cool tradition! I love the way they made the Conquest quote work so well in this year’s show. To me, it’s THE moment of the show! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The SET is ••|•|••• which are the Conquest SHOTS from the piece Conquest March (Captain from Castile) written by Alfred Newman in 1947.

I've spent the better part of the season trying to figure out what the oo/o/ooo meant on the field. I looked up the Morse code for it and everything. It just now dawned on me.

The first time I saw them, I immediately thought of Lion King and the elephant graveyard. To each his own I guess... Dennis was actually quizzing me on a few of the shows...and asked me what I thought they were...I hedged my bet citing a few probable answers to which one was correct...haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jasgre2000 Posted August 6, 2018 Share Posted August 6, 2018 10 hours ago, CrownBariDad said: Why do we rehash this same topic every year? The Corps are NOT responsible for sync licenses since they do not put out the product requiring one. For their performances, they only need arranging and performing licenses which are somewhat easier to get than sync. (Heck -- in college we got a letter from a publisher begging us to put their song in one of our halftimes, with no fees required, which we did as it fit one of our shows.) As I understand it, the copyright holder(s) (usually the publisher) grants arranging and performing rights, but the artists themselves can veto sync rights which apparently some have in the past. They don't need any reason to say no. I didn't mention mechanical rights which are for audio only. It doesn't have to be that way. DCI could easily require corps to obtain sync licenses as a condition of competing. They have to this point chosen not to, which I think is stupid. They are limiting their accessibility by failing to make performances available to fans on demand. Maybe they are OK with that, but it is worthy of discussion.
