Description:
      “Playback” was inspired by the movie “Click” in which a universal remote control controls real life events. It doesn’t get much more audience friendly than this production while still maintaining a strong and engaging musical score. The total integration is off the charts! Effects include a start-up TV intro with sampled commercials, “pause,” volume adjustments, slow motion, fast forward, rewind, etc. The show concludes with the remote control going haywire, all the different effects back-to-back, ending eventually with "Power Off".
      "Playback" was originally commissioned for marching band in the fall of 2010 and was a WGI A class finalist with Foothill HS (NV) in 2012. This is a custom version adapted for indoor percussion. The electronic integration is vital to the success of this show. Every sound heard comes with the show. You just need a sampler and a powerful sound system!
