Ah, Steven Reich. So nice to hear on the field

If you're playing the "Overture to The School for Scandal", why not actually quote from Sheridan's play rather than from Shakespeare, to which Barber's music has no connection?

Well that was not good.

"Tell me, ye prim adepts in Scandal's school,

Who rail by precept, and detract by rule,

Lives there no character, so tried, so known,

So deck'd with grace, and so unlike your own,

That even you assist her fame to raise,

Approve by envy, and by silence praise!"

If I had not seen Mandies first, this would be more impressive

I was expecting a storyline show like last year, especially with the soundtrack pieces used like Academic Festival Overture (Animal House) and Keating's Triumph (Dead Poet's Society). Maybe some humor or charm that they've brought the last few years. I didn't get anything out of this. This show needs a serious retooling if they want to even be in sniffing distance of Finals.

I just really like Academy's design sensibility.  Accessible yet sophisticated.
