Don't give me all this "omg, WSS has been played to death" when you follow the flock and say that the basically 4 songs Whitacre has done is brilliant and innovative...

Shame on all of you.

You, member, staff, design team, all alike very well know that Cadets show is never set in stone and is subject to drastic alterations up to their first performance.

So theres still a chance for "This I believe in Happyness"....the show I've wanted all along????......

SWEET! :thumbs-up:

So push the envelope with a horn show that makes me absolutely gasp at its difficulty and brilliance … or knock me over with a drill move I've never seen or imagined before

I guess where your argument comes up short for me is these recent shows that you decry have the very things you seek. The 2007 corps played a monster book marvelously. The 2008 corps was replete with brilliant drill.

I realize your preference would be that they “let (you) hear it by not talking/singing over it.” That preference notwithstanding, it’s not as if horns and the feet weren’t there too, which is to say the designers’ vision wasn’t so bankrupt after all.

In his day, there were those who weren’t accepting of Zingali and his vision. Maybe like you today with a newer vision, they thought he sometimes went too far or that he compromised his art with the bangles bought by a better opportunity. At least you and I can agree that they didn't know what they were talking about.
