xandandl Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 Interesting, very interesting. While DCI notes the omissions to be announced later of Regiment and Bloo, there is absolutely no mention of Carolina. Is DCI boycotting too? Has Crown withdrawn from the piece agreement as well? http://www.dci.org/ViewArticle.dbml?ATCLID=211613135&utm_source=sfmc&utm_medium=email Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol! The reason that Bluecoats was in the main part of the article is because they had at least announced their musical selections, and Phantom was included because their show announcement is going to be today. If you look at the very bottom of that article, it says: Other corps yet to reveal their 2017 programs online: Carolina Crown Gold Golden Empire Impulse Les Stentors Louisiana Stars Raiders Spartans 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chris7997 Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 (edited) Now Phantom. Here we go again. Like I said, drum corps cliched themes have got to be dark, eastern...and now "seductive!" All for what? To be "cool"? "Blurring the lines" according to their show description...of course! Gag. What is this Fifty Shades of Grey?! We cannot make any sort of value judgement or have any redeeming qualities to our shows...dark "madness and desire" have to be the order of the day. What kind of culture is this promoting in drum corps where we have minors participating in the activity? "Oh Chris! You are being too much of a square teetotaler...get with the times man!!!" People may call me unhip and too old-fashioned, but I'm making a counter-cultural argument against these disconcerting show theme trends towards darkness, obscurity, and now seduction. "This seductive, powerful character begins life solely as an invasion of mind, but quickly becomes something more, blurring the lines between beauty, madness, and desire." - Phantom program description Edited June 2, 2017 by chris7997 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"This seductive, powerful character begins life solely as an invasion of mind, but quickly becomes something more, blurring the lines between beauty, madness, and desire." - Phantom program description the poets and fabric-fanatics can flit about all they want in ST. It still comes down to how your corps drums, how do they move, how do they perform the music; all else is but window dressing. If the guts aren't good, it doesn't matter what fashion house picked the hue. Perhaps relax a little while the designers pretend they are creative geniuses spawning masterpieces for the ages. It doesn't feed the poor, cure the sick, house the homeless or the other important challenges of this life whose response marks our true stature for eternity. Don't sweat the small stuff (while many of us agree with you.) Artists as a genre are known to have depressed personalities according to the DSM. Their preferences follow that pattern.

Posting the same thing all over the forum. Cool. We get it. You don't like dark show themes. Don't watch then. I also dont understand what you mean by "eastern".... how is Phantom's show "eastern"? How is Metamorph "eastern"? Personally, I'm glad most shows aren't exuberating happiness the whole time. Barf. Yawn. True art should make you think. And sometimes, it should make you uncomfortable. Otherwise it is boring and forgettable. I also dont think this criticism is warranted yet. Come back in July after you've seen all of these productions on the field.
