I'm curious to see what songs the WISA teams picked. Is there any video?
No videos yet, but someone watching the livestream posted on twitter their music:
M/C
RD: Desde El Alma
FD: Porz Goret by Yann Tiersen
P/P
RD: Vuelvo Al Sur
FD: To Build a Home

I know the scores might be slightly inflated, but WOW!
I thought the FD had to have a change of tempo, but Porz Goret is all the same tempo?
From the pic on ice-dance.com facebook page, the detailed FD scores were:
TES
McNamara/Carpenter 62.72
Parsons/Parsons 53.57
PCS
McNamara/Carpenter 48.9
Parsons/Parsons 46
Parsons then had a -3 deducation
The 2 Canadian teams and Hungarian couple also had deductions (Sales/Wamsteeker and Hungarians -2 and -1 for Lanaghan/Razgulajevs)

Max FD score is 137.84 this season so it's not as big as it looks.

It used to be reaching 100 points for the FD was a milestone of reaching the higher echelons of Dance. What score should we look for now would you say?

Micheal Parsons had a fall on a transition. I also would like to see this team use more original music rather than rehash other iconic FD music. Last season they used the ChristopherBruce/Torvill & Dean/Duchenay's Ghost Dances and now P/C's To Build A Home.
FWIW, the ISU event page for Lake Placid Ice Dance International does link to International scores for Rhythm Dance.
I hope/expect that International scores for Free Dance will be added soon.
And the URL suggests that International protocols also will be added.
ETA:
I do wish that USFS would include LPIDI and Philadelphia Summer International on its International Assignments/Results page.
Never have understood why they never are included.
ICYMI, oniceperspectives Instagram account had some absolutely gorgeous Lake Placid practice video. For example:
