Basically Sandra's job was to choreograph a program for the 1 week or so she had with Tara. IIRC, there was also the issue of Tara's dislike of classical pieces that Sandra would play as possibilities for her programs. But Sandra was resigned to the fact that Tara had the final say in the music. In Christine Brennan's book 'Edge of Glory' there is a great chapter comparing how Michelle and Tara ended up with the short programs for the Olympic year. Basically, Lori Nichol pleaded with Michelle via fax to use the Rach pieces while Tara found her music after watching a rough cut of the animated movie 'Anastasia'.berthes ghost said:Sandra has been very vocal about how dissatisfied she was working with Tara (how she was shut out and/or thwarted at every step) so I wouldn't jump to any conclusions about the sameness of Tara's programs being down to Sandra's lack or inventiveness.
