If ever there was a summer when Cadets could have used a bounce from audiences united and pulling for them, 2018 was it. So why on earth would new people design a show with four presumably amplified singers which, right off the bat, reminds people of the fired director and turns some in the audience completely off? Tone deaf. If I were to hazard a guess, the singers that the previous design called for were already contracted before everything went down 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't want to be negative about singers but I can only think they were accepted as performers before this whole thing went down with GH. Also, doesn't mean singers have to be associated with GH.. It's not like other corps haven't used singers lately. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peel Paint Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 Every show deserves a chance. Maybe they do a 30-second quartet of "For Holy Name Shall Be" and do a show that everyone can get behind. But I see far more potential downside than upside to this because of what it will remind people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Schehr Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 I’m no fan of singers. Simply because the acoustics can never be controlled in different stadiums. It takes hours for bands to setup for venues and that’s something corps don’t have time to do. In addition, the quality of voice, electronics and ensemble are never ever consistent. Frankly I have yet to see the value of narrative or voice in any production on a football field. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
