Staff change. The staff from the previous two years weren't asked back and they made all the techs caption heads. Also, new corps director this year. They have Teal sounds last corps director.
Terrible design choices being made by the staff. They've set those kids up for failure.
That being said, those kids are real troopers going out there night after night. It's not their fault, and they are showing tremendous heart! I applaud them!!!
