Halting the March
During the Rose Bowl halftime the Michigan Marching Band was performing. ABC gave them some coverage but insisted on changing the camera angle every few seconds. There’s absolutely no reason to do this. I’m barely interested in a marching band and if I was annoyed that I couldn’t see the synchronized marching and what shapes and such they’re making, I can only imagine how pissed off those who care about this kind of stuff feel. I’m sure that the dozen or so kids that go their close-ups are happy, and that there are some giddy friends and family out there, but overzealous direction and some wannabe MTV angles really took the steam out of the show.
