which would you rather have?

[general_tsos_chicken2]

some thread have me thinking... what do you think

me? I would rather have low quality recordings, just to get a taste. It's just nice to get an idea.

also I would rather have a very minor announcement earlier than wait longer for the full announcement including rep.

I see people complain about this both ways so I would like to see if there is a consensus.

I voted for: JUST KEEP ME IN THE LOOP, THANKS.

If you have low quality recording of a part of ensemble... sure I'd love to hear it!

If you have a solid title or idea for a show in November, but it MAY completely change come January?... SURE let me know what's you're thinking! I promise I won't get mad if the idea does change.

I don't get it, what is awkward?

[Bob984]

(1) I think too much is made over "themes" and "show titles". I can't speak for other fans, but when I go to a show, what I am hoping for

is great, exciting musical arrangements that are played very well and conveyed with emotion, and a visual package which is performed well and presents

the music. I am not looking for, nor do I care about, a "story". If it's obvious, ok, but it's not what I look for in a show. In the

"old days" (ok, call me a "homer"), it was not necessary to have a "theme", and not unusual for a corps to play a variety of things, perhaps totally

"unrelated", within a show. As long as they did it well, nobody seemed to mind. Occasionally, somebody does manage to communicate a theme so well that

the "theme" sells as well......ie 2008 Spartacus/Phantom comes to mind. However, I guess what I am saying is that I don't believe a show has to have

a theme/story............just great music presented well..............yet, corps seemed to be almost "obligated" these days to have and announce a theme.....

(2) With today's technology, I find it interesting that the corps don't post that many clips of their Spring rehearsals.....even when a piece is quite

presentable..........on the other end, I wouldn't post something that is not strong yet..........and I do think there is a bit of "secrecy".....

One thing I totally don't get is this......groups that show a rehearsal camp video, WITH PRE-RECORDED BACKGROUND MUSIC instead of the corps playing!!

If you don't want to reveal any of the show, fine, but at least post an audio of a good warmup of both the drumline and hornline........

All that said (and some negative....), I look forward to the season and to hear and see what the corps have come up with, and I hope we hear many strong

arrangements this year!
