I'm sorry Cadets but the balance between the choir and hornline needs to get worked out at some point. I can barely hear the hornline sometimes. 

This may have to do with the mic setup in Lucas oil, but if not, yeah...

When has amplification in drum corps *ever* been balanced properly, as opposed to what's being amped being too loud? After 13 years, there's really no reason to think it ever can be.

Thanks for the commentary tonight, everyone! 

Not being able to watch it myself, can anyone talk about the Cavaliers' ballad? I was really digging the build up on Tuesday before lightening stuck and the thunder rolled. Thanks!

it is actually a statement ("let us pray" being forcefully yelled) on organized religion becoming oppressive; ie: questioned -> hence "the fallen"... Mass is NOT a "pro religion" statement, it is an analogy on organized religion for any "belief system" becoming questioned. Such as "I love this person" and then you begin to question it. Written in the late 60s and debuting in early 70s in the "hippy era" it questions authority, religion etc. 

I tried to explain it...

But this explanation is much more comprehensive. Suffice it to say... this work is less well received as a Christian work than "Jesus Christ Superstar", "Godspell", or even an episode of "Southpark" featuring Jesus.

Thanks for the background info. I'll try to keep an open mind about it, it's just not really my cup of tea
