Anyone know when we can expect more announcements? Is there a certain time that teams all start to announce at once?

a lot of top tier skaters don't announce until their first event

otherwise it's normally late summer when the rest make announcements... at least it seems to be that way. You'll have rumors for months, though, as some members are able to view practice sessions and such.

I wonder if Melissa and Denis will keep their FD from last year. I hope so, since they never got to perform it at all. I hope they will.

me too, it sounded interesting

but hey, as long as they are both happy and healthy I don't care what they skate to, just so that they're back and ready to skate! :rock:

Medelssohn Violin Concerto for V/M?

I saw a very short clip of Virtue/Moir rehearsing for Festa on Ice in Seoul... and think I heard a scale passage from the 3rd movement of Mendelssohn Violin Concerto. I am wondering if this is what they used for their CSOI performance...

The following is the link to the clip which shows their rehearsal for about 4 seconds (1:08~).

:think: hmm...
went back to youtube, but no luck there...
In that case, why not try
i) Internet Explorer, firefox doesn't work.
ii) once you are there, click underneath Yuna Kim's picture.
Hope it works!

^ Yeap @ 0:46~
(you are really fast:thumbsup:)

So, that's their CSOI ballet number...

I read that Korean netizens lovingly call them "Vir-Mo-ne" and now the media is highlighting them as the "Fantastic Couple" after the name of the popular Korean TV drama.:biggrin:

No magic! I watched the online version of SBS real time broadcast of Festa on Ice. Scott and Tessa skated between Takahashi's Swan Lake and Johnny Weir's number. The ballet program was basically the rearrangement of their usual movements to different concept and music with the prop(!). It had a clean and controlled quality that let the audience stop screaming and watch them 'skating.' Although they took the risk of understating themselves in a show filled with dramatic and cheesy numbers, I thought they displayed their strength rooted in ballet really well and their sibling-like partner relationship. It gave me an impression that they are very level-headed... They have a good sense of who they are and where they are. It was getting too late and I couldn't stay awake after Weir. However, I have to say I went to bed very satisfied :)

As a matter of fact, their performance just came up online. Just click under the picture. Enjoy!

Thank you Sylvia! I cannot wait to see Jeremy's programs for next year; I love his skating.

Oh and I've read on fsuniverse that Wester/Baranstev's OD will be the 1940s. I see them doing very well with this.

Oh yes, fantastic choices! I love the fact that he always has different styles for his short and long, and he always uses at least one classical piece and Albinoni is just great. I also adore him for using real music - and that's not supposed to sound snobby, I am just tired of all these soundtracks, modern pseudo-classical music etc. Now I can't wait to see Abbott's programs next season! :rock:

Actually, one of my favorite programs of Abbott's is his SP to a piece from the "American Beauty" film soundtrack ;) (2007 Four Continents performance, which is on youtube).

Now I can't wait to see Abbott's programs next season!
He's currently scheduled to compete in two club comps -- at the Broadmoor Open at the end of June and at Liberty in mid-July. :rock:

W/B's FD music was originally posted in this thread -- here's the link to their official site where their 2008-09 music is published.
