I really enjoyed this show. I was particularly impressed with the use of media throughout the performance. One issue that many halftime shows have is the extremely large amount of space they have to fill. I know when the super bowl was in Dallas they used local high school drill teams to participate in a choreographed routine with enough people to fill up the entire field. Though this was interesting - it was definitely not original and it is somewhat distracting from the focus of the performance. The integration of media and projections on the entire field help extend the design off the stage onto the entire playing field. I feel like this allowed the performance to be engaging and all the media enhanced the entire performance rather than just added bodies around the stage. I liked this show.
