I heard today that there is some new rule in regards to leos's matching music. Hear say not from a coach. Has anyone heard of such a thing?

It is supposed to start in May just before Canadian Nationals, but I just can't wrap my head around it. Both are so subjective I can't imagine it could be open to deductions if someone doesn't see it as you do.
 
What does that even mean? How can a leo match music? How would that be objective. OK - I know a lot of judging is subjective, but this would be ridiculous!
 
They're not thinking of going the way of ice skating or rythmic gymnastics? But even in those sports is it a deduction if go don't wear red and black for your flamenco routine?
 
I thought that was a requirement of sports acrobatics only.

If it's not in the WAG FIG Code of Points, I highly doubt there's any valid reason for it to be filtered down to a national level.
 
Love it! Harry Potter music with a wand and cloak. Samba music in a carnival outfit with headdress. Ballet music in a tutu.
DD once had Zorba the Greek as her floor music - would have loved to have seen the plate smashing!
 
I love this idea!!! Just imagine the crazy gymmumness that would erupt... It would get like discokid meets my big fat gypsy wedding, with top secret leotard designs commissioned from self styled specialists or mothers sitting up for days gluing crystals and pom poms. People would spend thousands of pounds/dollars for the best leotard/music combo and on competition day there would be fighting and accusations of espionage and copying.

Of course the gymnastics would have to become secondary to the fashion show, but that's a small detail :D
 
I can't imagine it.
In rhythmic it's all part of the artistry - the leo, apparatus and music are to match, but it's more the expression of the actual routine. So for a slow dreamy piece of music you would have a say pastel coloured leotard and matching apparatus, more important though that the routine would fit the music.
 
Surely it couldn't work for team comps anyway so I just don't see it happening.
I think someone has gotten confused.
 
don't - we are just trying Rhythmic & P&F's coach said about the costume matching the music - have you seen the price of those things ! The thought of having to have to have more than one makes me go eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeekkkkkkkkkkkkk

ok, but the stuffed parrot idea was mine, all mine, and if I see other small girls on the floor with a parrot on their shoulder I shall be seriously peeved ;)
