agreed! imo slowing down the opening really slows down the energy of both the scene and the actors, leaving for unfortunately an underwhelming moment. but on the other hand, i’m glad they slowed the number down. it’s a tough bit and you can still hear the actors struggling to keep time and stay together even when it’s slowed. plus, this is a high school production, and for what it’s worth it’s still very impressive!
I think a number of US soldiers did use aks when available in the vietnam war. I usually overlook stuff like that since its not uncommon for soldiers to use enemy weapons if supplies are lacking.
Two issues. As one person said. Pace it too slow. Second. They need to have the sound of the helicopter taking off. Its a big part of this song and act.
So much talent, I'm overwhelmed!
I have no words. This was amazing to watch!!! Well done TKA!
Amazing I have watched it many times!
why the start is slow? dont get me wrong i love the performace but the older version sounded more panic with the fast tone
Exactly!

It all sounds slower to me, like there’s no urgency.
I’m missing the fast pace of this song
Me too. I like it faster. But it is a high school version don’t get me wrong.
The set is amazing, the costumes and actors are amazing but doing this song so slow just doesn't work that well, IMO.
Why are American troops carrying AK 47s?. The standard assault rifle in the US arsenal in the Vietnam war were the m16 rifles
I did realize that until now
