zigzigZAG Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 Watching this show, and I'm cringing at the design and much of the message, even though these kids are AMAZING. Too bad the design is choking their potential. Patriotism, ultimately, ends up supporting militarism, and glorification of a military that doesn't know when to stop, in a patriotic show, ends up being as heavy handed and ham handed as the military of an imperial power. So it's absolutely fitting that we have all this grotesque excess in this show. The new flaggy thing on the stage reminds me of the "Mission Accomplished" banner on the aircraft carrier with Bush speaking in 2003. I anxiously await 2015, and hope that this design staff never again, ever, goes this route. America, when we're at our best, aren't celebrating ourselves and deluding ourselves about the glory of power and might. We're at our best when we're humble, hard at work, creative, and just. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just wish I was at the movies watching instead of reading these idiot's comments trying to get a feel for what's going on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THeShadeOfNight Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 Don't let it bother you. Society as a whole has become slobs behind computers critiquing the world. I just wish I was at the movies watching instead of reading these idiot's comments trying to get a feel for what's going on. We wish you were, too. Cadets march like monsters. I think the show would be slightly more enjoyable without the narration addition. People will like what people will like. Chill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommeee Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 I'm surprised 2000Cadet doesn't know RAMD! I guess I'm getting old when it seems like that was just yesterday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tommeee Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 Hell I only found out about DCP in 2006. Interestingly, George Hopkins informed me about DCP. Can't remember the year, but it was at a preseason concert that Cadets of Bergen County attended in Harrisburg, PA, sometime int 90's. Maybe 1995 or so? He gave a shout-out to Drum Corps Planet, and I thought "woah, what's that? Must find out!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
