It's because it's about what the underdog must face in life, and in a way, each of us has a Goliath to face. For example, I quote from another David and Goliath story which sums up the message very well: "In a way, all of us has an El Guapo to face. For some, shyness might be their El Guapo. For others, a lack of education might be their El Guapo. For us, El Guapo is a big, dangerous man who wants to kill us." - Lucky Day 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the TV commercials they now run instead of previews were a bit underpowered. But when the actual event feed started, it was several notches higher in volume, so all was well.

I was adding a 'tick' every time the Hamilton line showed up after the first 5 iterations. It's as if the assumption remains that the arts community is SO 'gaga' over Hamilton, that there can't be too many references. It became a mallet over my head and took me out of the GE value. It was a very 'Cadets' thing to do. Must have been a great design meeting where someone said "###### do you know what we paid for this Hamilton sample? We are going to ******* USE it". I pretty much got the point after the first two dozen times. 4 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terri Schehr Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 I tried to enjoy the show but the mental case I was sitting by curbed my enthusiasm. And no, it wasn’t Jim. I’m way ahead of you on that one. I don’t think I’m going to the theater next year. It appears to attract a certain element in my area that I don’t need to be around. 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terri Schehr Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 Oh and btw, the new trick is to purchase a ticket for a less expensive theater and then come into the fathom event. I saw it with my own eyes. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, they don’t come. They hate drum corps now. I marched in RA alumni for two years while my kid was marching junior corps. I heard that #### for two years. Two solid years. No, this is just your garden variety mental case types. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrownBariDad Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 Two items I missed: Saw only Bloo and PR shirts at the theater. We were, of course, "wearing Crown" as they say on the Red Carpet. There wasn't any DCI Trivia before the event. 😞 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
