I don’t often go to parties anymore but when I do, I like to dress the part. I love twinning with my raverbuddy Vick. Here we are a happy and sad clown. As I had been working (and stressing about working) for a while, going to this party was just so nice. (Korsakov.) I just love dancing to Drum and bass. We also met so many nice people there and we even started to hand out our VickZie Workshops stickers. Which actually made people interested in our business. It was hilarious to see this as everyone was obviously in another space of mind. To sum it up it was just a very inspiring and happy party.
I literally just realised that Vitas' "The 7th Element" is blatantly name-checking the motif from the second movement of Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov's Scheherazade.
Hi everyone!
After the success that the symphony bracket has been so far I thought I'd keep the fun going by hosting the suites bracket that was initially discussed on that blog. The format will remain quite similar, but I'll clarify this when the tournament starts which will likely be sometime in December. There is only the one mod, so please be patient with me (oh also she/they pronouns please).
I'm accepting submissions, so here's some guidelines for that:
Please make submissions to the ask box.
You can include propaganda if you would like to but you don't have to.
If there is a specific recording that you would like me to use please specify it in your submission.
For the purposes of this bracket suite is fairly broad, though it will be restricted to suites with at least 2 movements. Please don't submit works that are other forms (eg. symphony, concerto, opera etc). If the mod determines that a submission is not clearly a suite then a poll will be created to determine general consensus.
The number of suites to make it into the bracket is yet to be determined, but it will be either 16, 32, or 64, depending on the number of submissions.
As submissions come in, I will add them to the bottom of this post every so often.
Also as an extra little novelty, feel free to guess the suite, movement, and instrument of the sheet music in the header image :)
Tagging @symphonybracket to credit the idea as that is where the idea was first talked about and much of the format has come from.
Feel free to share this post, ask any questions you may have, and of course start submitting!
Vanessa Pham and Jonathan Rogers skating to Scheherazade for their free dance at the 2023 Junior US Nationals, 2022 Junior Grand Prix Courchevel and 2022 Junior Lake Placid Ice Dance International and 2022 Junior Dallas Classic. I think Pham has two slightly different dresses.
