Went to the AMC Theatres in Eden Prairie, MN and the crowd was on the "mature" side.
The walk to theatre #14 was like going through an airport concourse but the multiplex was fine.
I sat down with my popcorn and $oda plus some peanut m&m's I $muggled in when I overheard the older gentlemen sitting next to me talking about looking forward to seeing last years top 10 shows! I tried to explain that they were about to see one of the first shows of THIS year. Well, I'm sure they thought I was some no-good, shifty youngin (I'm 48) and they were skeptical until one of them read their ticket and put 2 + 2 together!
I really enjoyed starting the night off like that.
Not sure that this event should be this early in the season but it's a great teaser for those of us who are ready to start our summer fix. It has me salivating for the live shows. I wouldn't attempt to review anything this early that I've only seen in a theatre. Since this medium only gives you the ability to look at what the camera is showing you and the season has only just begun - I'll just wait to be surprised and delighted at the way each show finds its voice.
If they do this again maybe they should try another state. (Not that the weather can be accurately predicted anywhere - but Texas?)
The show does act as a good commercial for the upcoming season and it was a nice look at what some of the other corps will be doing.
Praying for excellent weather for this years DCI MN after last years stormy bust!
Just a few days to my first live show of this season and it can't come soon enough!
