Maybe this is the point. The show is meant to make people angry, depressed, disappointed...we're talking about it, aren't we? I haven't seen it yet, but I'd probably feel the same way. Is this the only frontier left - the controversial show? In '83, people were in an uproar about the Cadets, but in a good way. Back then, it was "A whole show of asymmetrical drill? I never thought such a thing could be possible, or be so cool!" Now it seems like "A show with narration about controversial subjects? I never thought drum corps would come to this." We're still talking about it, but...we're questioning where the designers are going instead of being thrilled about the genius of the new concept. It seems more important that both the ideas and the way the ideas are being expressed are controversial. The beauty of the art is taking a back seat to the controversy. Does it make it less valid? Probably not. Does it make it less attractive? Seems so, to most.
