Best of both worlds! 😂 They have the guard massed on the props now, which makes it likely they will next tilt at least some of them up and go through the passage. It's fun to speculate, but I'm sure whatever they will do will add something great. Does anyone here know if BD360 is going to do their usual breakdown of each movement of the show? I love hearing about their thought process. Plus, it also gives us more fodder for speculation. Also, I rewatched last night’s performance and noticed that the front ensemble’s audio levels were higher than usual while the brass sounded lower. That has to be Flo, right? I’m curious to hear what the closer sounded like at the stadium. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure about Flo, but I did watch a youtube video last night of their performance yesterday and noticed the balance between the soloists in the ballad and the rest of the ensemble was SIGNIFICANTLY better. I shouldn't have doubted BD would correct this, but it had been hampering my enjoyment of that movement until now 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mboogey73 Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 My apologies if I'm missing something obvious, but I don't get into studying all the high concept ideas in these shows. During the closer when they march the rotating Olympic rings, there's a gap in every one of the rings as they rotate. Is there some reason for this that I missing?

For me, I never really saw them as rings. I saw them more as all the ideas/pieces of Matisse are now “swirling around” to join together to represent his entire body of work. Then, they tie it all up with a bow with the closer by literally adding a frame to his artwork. At least that’s my interpretation of it. 🤷 There’s also a good chance they’ll change it again so I can’t look too deeply into it just yet. 😂 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know they filmed stuff for it, because they had a reel or something that showed quick clips of various members sitting in a chair to talk about the show, like they do every year. However, it's now pretty late, so it may be dumped all at once when they have it ready. I do miss the media team they had some years back, who released almost a mini-documentary every few weeks. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do a video recap after each one of their shows which is nice. Edited July 27, 2023 by Rylan 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mboogey73 Posted July 28, 2023 Share Posted July 28, 2023 (edited) I've tried to be optimistic about it, but the screamer doing the step up high notes while they're moving into the set for the big push in the ballad is not working. It's a distraction because it's very thin, shaky, and takes away from the ensemble. If dude could nail it every time with some power it would be a different story, but that's not what's happening. Save that screamer for the very last note he hits, which is much more impactful. Edited July 28, 2023 by mboogey73 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
