NR_Ohiobando Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 (edited) lHow ironic it will be that a show entitled "In Pursuit of Happiness" will probably make a lot of people unhappy ...or is it coincidental...(?) I'm not totally knockin it yet, I actually got through their 06 show without giving them too much crap, but the description isn't promising. Here's hoping it works out for me.

LandoC Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 The breast cancer thing was not really developed in the story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LandoC Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 I think it's a neat premise overall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hrothgar15 Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 I think it's a neat premise overall. I thought the Madison Scouts 1982 show was a neat premise overall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaddyt Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 As a self-admitted Cadets "homer", I watched the webcast and was left a little flat. For lack of a better word, the show design, while decent, just seems a tad "forced" at this stage of the game. The brass, percussion, and guard were all on for this time of year, but I get the impression that the theme of "happiness" is just too big to fit smoothly into an 11 minute show. Here's hoping they can even it out a bit. PS.... WAY too much park and blow during Round 4 for my taste. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cwillpayne Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 The Pursuit of HOPPINESS...doing whatever Hopp wants...... I admire that he can motivate many to become successful students and employees and all of that jazz...... But you can not tell a whole life story in an 11 minute time frame! Well i guess you can....but not with the all the drama it conveys. I felt bad when i found out it was about breast cancer and thought "what a novel idea" but the dialog just does not work for me...it is all over the place. And as an avid NPR listener......I don't know. I love Ira Glass and everything... but this doesn't seem to fit. But I may just be proven wrong when i hear it live. pursuit of hopps desires......just freakin play, drum, and spin and win a championship!! Move em back to Bergen County and drop the playwrite on the way. As i re-read the description i imagined that clip from SNL when Matt Foley the "motivational speaker" played by Chris Farley said to the father character "Am I seeing things pop?!? Is that Bill Shakespear over there?!?!?!" after David Spades character said that he wanted to be a writer....... looks like another year where i am left limp by one of my favorite corps, and i will need to rely on the drum corps viagra to brighten things up again. God bless the Blue pil---er Bluecoats. *SIGH* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
