To start, I want to say that this was an exciting finals week and I loved it.
BUT
I want to point out a trend I noticed. It seems like a lot of corps are basing their shows on somewhat shallow two-dimensional visual concepts. They then take this concept, either write or pick music that fits. Examples(NOTE: I am not bashing these corps. I really liked some of these shows): Bluecoats "Connexus", SCV "Moto Perpetuo", Crown "In-trance-it", BDB "Chain Reaction", Southwind "Duality", etc. One could also argue that Cavies and Colts were in this bin too.
Why I'm not really fond of this approach: This makes the show completely visually driven, and musically lacking. It also lacks the depth a show driven by a story or larger theme can give.
Now, I don't want this to turn into "BUT I liked SCV/Coats/Crown/BDB/Southwind/Cavies/Colts". In several of those cases, so did I. I'm just saying that a more complex show concept would be better. Any thoughts?
