mcjordansc Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 A friend, who does not have a DCP account, has a good idea for finals. I told him I would share it with the group. At finals only, add a minute between corps to give the finalists a little extra time in front of the crowd. Call it a curtain call. Allow the audience a little more to time to thank the finalists corps for a season well done. This adds 12 minutes to the show, so not a big deal. We both felt last night that show end applause was cut off too quickly because the corps has to start the switch within a few seconds of show end. 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that like when they "trooped the stands?" 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably the same concept, but these days most of the MMs in the bigger Corps have front ensemble and prop moving duties, trooping the stands would involve the DMs and maybe the battery. But I do like the curtain call idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cleveland1 Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 I like the idea, but think corps would utilize that time for more complex props to be taken down and/or moved than to take advantage of a bow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is why an extra minute is given at finals only. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But couldnt tge corps use that to introduce a new prop for finals specifically? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure, but how many corps would be willing to risk a new addition on the final night of the season without knowing how the judges would react to it?
