Description:

    Playback was inspired by the movie “Click” in which a universal remote control controls real life events. In this playful production, 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".  Note: The electronic integration is vital to the success of this show; you just need a sampler and a powerful sound system (all sound effects are included with purchase)! 

    Visual design is built right into the composition with this entertaining and relatable concept, presenting opportunities to physically demonstrate the actions of the remote control.  This makes for an audience-friendly show that's fun to watch and fun to perform!
    This show was originally commissioned for marching band in the fall of 2010 and was released for the 2012 indoor season as a custom version adapted for indoor percussion.
