They've approached it as though Bernstein just wrote a score and some lyrics to a typical Sunday mass and took it at face value. Robes, stained glass, bibles, pews, fire and brimstone preachers... All of the imagery and ambience. None of the irony. yeah -no. They literally worked with the Bernstein foundation to ensure the "vision" of the score will be realized. Give it a couple weeks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's triple, I can't remember what variation we're due for in a Bernstein show at present. well we had the z-pull, we've had the double z-pull and we've had the "S" pull in 90. So... I believe we are due for side-by-side triple lutz? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The title of the show is The Faithful, The Fallen, The Forgiven. There's no irony there. It's the classic Christian story of sinning and redemption. There's nothing ironic in the story line that they're portraying... ... but they're using a source that does in fact poke and prod at the idea of "Mass". There just seems to be a big disconnect between what the Cadets are doing and what the source intended. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I got a weird vibe about what they were trying to portray and what the story was but then again there's more show to be learned so we shall see.

jjeffeory Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 People gotta also remember, and I'm a little guilty of this too: They don't have the ending on the field yet, and they're still close to the top group. No idea if it will help, but their show was short yesterday night, so I would guess that a full show will improve the scores. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
