There was so much promise this year because last year they seemed to be on the right track. As much as I hate to admit it I think we are learning that the show last year was ok due to GH presence through the winter and not hurt by that. This years program is extremely weak 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd need Spirit and Academy to jump both Cadets and Phantom. That seems... unlikely. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This way is not the way. I hate seeing it. The kids are obviously talented and doing their all to sell this show, it just sucks that what they have is so so so weak. In San Antonio on row 6 the kids blew me away, I just think the design staff got tripped up in designing a show that spoke to things that didn’t need to be said on the field. 10 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m no soothsayer but when I was reading several paragraphs about the show...well, I have a theory about long explanations about 11 minute shows. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This years program is extremely weak Less to do with him personally than the consistency and routine that he represented. All the winter work was done with the routine in place that had existed for decades. Even when he was removed and some parts of the show had to be reworked, the inertia of the way of doing things kept things moving forward. This year, rather than start with the consistent approach and begin tweaking it, the choice was made to throw out bathwater and baby and attempt to reinvent everything at once. The result: an epic mess and both design and performance confusion. If you attempt to turn an ocean liner that sharply, you are bound to capsize. At least the pain is going to be so severe that all concerned may be shocked into planning better in the future. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
