LAMystreaux Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 http://hopsblog2.livejournal.com/ The show --so far so good. We have made adjustments as time has gone by! I plan more. Sometimes .. one just needs to listen, to see reaction, to hear the chuckle ... that is how I can adjust.! And yes, there are technical issues with big stadiums and small stadiums. And, there are always differences of opinions. Some folks head the young man's story in the closer ...one of my best friends came to rehearsal, and cried 100 tears. Who is right? Who is wrong? Who identifies? Who thinks it is stupid? I guess .. we need to make the decisions that work inside our program. Are we talking too much ... yep! But, I want to make sure we make the right decisions ... so, we are moving slowly! We will adjust ... I am going out to change a quote now! and we already changed a big chunk of the opener ... and some smaller chunks in Adiemus ... and yes, I took out the entire walk on! Live ... and learn ...

Phantombari1 Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 http://hopsblog2.livejournal.com/ That should be good for a 2 point jump! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rut-roh Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 That should be good for a 2 point jump! riiiiiight...we all know how well his blog rants against the judging last year helped out his corps in the end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerpCorpsNut Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 I saw that too, I was going to post it but obviously decided not to :P Perhaps this will satisfy some folks on here, knowing that Hoppy realizes that there is, indeed, a lot of talking in the show, too much even. It's easier to cut back than to add in, and IMO it's great that they're really trying to make the most effective show possible by taking it a step at a time. Can't wait to see it this Friday, at Allentown, and the final product in Pasadena. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Medeabrass Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 I have to give the man credit. He sounds more self-aware and concerned about the audience than I thought he was....but still (I know I know). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huntington Mallets Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 What's "I took out the entire walk on!" mean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
euponitone Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 What's "I took out the entire walk on!" mean Im guessing the speech that happens (happened) as they walk on the field. From what i hear it only happened once, at the first show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 for the first couple shows a narrator "introduced" the corps as they were entering the field - talking about the history, the purpose of this year's show, how many members in the corps' history, the uniform - etc it's gone now - about 1 minute or so of talk at the start Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMichael1230 Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 Bravo, a very well planned, well calculated speech, and theres nothing wrong with that ! This will bring a lot of positive comments and some nice remarks about the show. Knowing he is taking a different stance "live and learn" rather than last years or two years ago, "We dont care what anyone thinks"..is major and can only help the activity from the Cadets POV and a fans POV, knqing that indeed he does care about all fans means that he and his corps should be given a chance before judgement, at least with this years offering. Major PR victory for Cadets and Hoopy, imo. ~G~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
