This.

We do not need a fourth interpretation of WSS from the Cadets.

Why not pieces from several Bernstein works?  A few visual vignettes to match sprinkled in.

Nope.

Bernstein has plenty of material to pull from.  Cadets need to put something new on the field.

I know... crazy thought.

Yeah, that's 'kinda the point.  The Cadets might be better not using a single-work theme for the entire production. There's plenty to pick from. Chose as you like. Just keep it melodic, somewhat familiar, not obscure, nor "science project" type explorations.

I see what you're saying (sorry... coffee hasn't kicked in yet).

I'd like for 2018 to be a settling-in year for the team, but I'm not sure I see that happening.

I would be OK with if only if they did Stan Kenton's version.....

Plus they were backfield a LOT of the show. 

Similar to 2014 in terms of staging, and that was also a strong battery.

Quoted because you are so very, very right.

We do not need it on a stage. We do not need it with some props. We do not need it with a choir. We do not need it on a mic. We do not need it here or there. We do not need it anywhere. We do not need WSS, my friend! (thank you, thank you Sam-I-am)
