Want to know what is said backwards in Legacy's Show?

[Dynasty]

This is the interpretation from my ears. If you hear something different, let me know. Starting from the end of the "backwardsness":

 

Dan Potter: "Which one is better Scott McCormick? UIL or BOA? Lone Star States have a lot of bands. Legacy Legacy High School 2008."

 

Woman: "So hot" (???)

[future andy]

you know, i go to legacy and i don't even know what is actually said

[Dynasty]

Perhaps you could ask around and see how close I was :-)

[Chris]

Hahahahaha. It's such a mystery at our school. I want to know what it really says.

[takigan]

A sound sample that is played in reverse sounds different than if you were to take a scripted line and speak it backwards (sdrawkcab would sound like dseh-reh-auw-ukkaeb instead of straw-cab). My question is, is this a recording that's played backward and sounds like the former, is it literally being spoken like the former by having listened to a backwards playing recording, or is it literally read as it should be pronounced lingually and sound like the latter?

[Xenon]

The voice-over was recorded forward and then physically reversed.

Yep!

[Clarinot]

I was hoping it was a subliminal message promoting TxBands. Oh well... wishful thinking I guess.

And yet again I must say it.....is this not illegal? Since you can't do something like this "live" the sample is prerecorded. Prerecorded human voice and spoken word is illegal, correct?

i thought so

 

but apparently not?

 

 

maybe a loophole?

 

haha

[Dynasty]

I agree with Clarinot. We need to record "Visit TxBands.com and donate" and then play it backwards.

I was actually wondering the same thing, but it would actually only be illegal in UIL (if it is), not BOA as far as I can tell. There is a lot of precedence for pre-recorded voice-overs in BOA. Worst case for UIL, they just don't use the recordings.

 

But, I believe (I would need to get confirmation) that since it is not a melodic/rhythmic recording, it is allowed under both BOA and UIL as long as it is initiated by a student.

 

My personal feelings? Forward speak should be required to be carried out live. The backwards speak is a sound effect like a bird chirping and can be "played".

Via the BOA Adjudication Handbook:

 

Useful notes: For Performance purposes, the definition of music shall be the organization

of sound through time. Everything else, then, is a sound effect, be it spoken text, the sound of

twisting metal, falling rain or the crumpling of cellophane. If what you want to play electronically

has elements of melody, harmony or rhythm, it must be performed live. If may not be pre-

recorded or sequenced for playback during the Performance, even if the initiation of the

recording playback or triggering of the sequence is done by a student at the time of the

Performance. A student may play synthesized sounds live and in real time, or initiate the

playback or trigger the sequence of any non-music sound as part, or all, of a show or show

segment.

 

Voice-overs, whether they are backwards, forwards, sideways, or slantways, are considers sound effects. Therefore, they can be patched through one key on a synth or iPod. The students hits the key, the voice-over plays, and it is perfectly legal in the BOA system. There used to be plenty of controversy in BOA over sound effect/voice-over use. I'm glad the rule is more clearly defined.

 

Via the UIL Constitution:

A. All electronically produced music including narration and sound effects must be

performed live and in real time by eligible students.

B. Pre-recorded music, instrumental or vocal, may not be used.

C. The placement of electronic units must comply with the 5-minute set up and 2-

minute tear down limitations.

 

UIL says no to prerecorded voice-overs, according to those guidelines. Don't use balloons either.

Exactly. Tarpon Springs couldn't do any other their shows at UIL. I think Connally had to remove their narration for UIL when they went to GN's.

 

But now that I think about it... what about RR's use of the "talon's" quote at UIL? We didn't have a problem with it then.

 

[mnkyman663]

So still no word on the actual words they're saying? You've piqued my interest

[CPtenor]

Hmm... I haven't even seen the show this year... anyone have a vid?

[Mellos09]

That year that we went to GN we did have to take out the voice overs during our uil performance. But with BOA it's ok other wise that year our show ouldn't have worked.

Attached to this post are two mp3 files. They are both of the same section of Legacy's show; one is played Forwards and the other is played Backwards.

hahahah

that is really funny

[bluebellbrass07]

That is AWESOME!

[itsstephenyo]

Haha, the forwards clip just sounds like they're speaking German.

 

And what does the female say at the end?

In both clips, from the female voice you first hear "backwards" then whatever backwards sounds like being played backwards. But it sounds like the truly reversed "backwards" (the 2nd time in the Forwards clip, and the 1st time in the Reversed clip) is played faster.

[takigan]

I still think she's saying "so hot" .

[HasteTheDay]

The woman says "Backwards".
