    • @billmccullough777
      @billmccullough777 Год назад +6

      It was not perfectly performed -- e.g. dropped stick, poor alignment on recovery moves. I really think the extras -- flag people and flashing lights -- were irrelevant to the performance (unless the drummers control the flashing of their drums). What's the next step? A dancing elephant? The bobbing feathers and the swordfight routines were pretty innovative!

I'd LOVE to see a composite video of how TS plans, practices, and produces one of their shows. Can't even imagine the audition one would have to go through to even get a shot at being on the team. And I'll bet, once on the team, you GLADLY practice millions of hours to STAY on the team. Congrats to all of you on the dedication it takes. We can see it in the results.

      I looked in his description and he thought the costumes were lame and I thought they were fabulous because they were musketeers and fit perfectly with the story and they looked great. Besides, the dark blue and white contrast made easy to see the contrast of the movements.
