I really don't care much about theme and all that. I never read the little blurbs the corps' put out that "explain" the show. I either like what I'm seeing and hearing, or I don't. That's it. this! And any day of the week i will prefer an upbeat show that puts a smile on my face over something dark and brooding. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conceptually those are some of my favorite shows this decade. This year, in my opinion, they veered too far into the cheese side of things. If Bloo was cheese this year (Bloo Cheese?) then more cheese for me, please! because Bloo was really Gouda!

TRacer Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 I’m looking forward to the activity moving away from “ME ME ME ME MEEEE!!!!” shows featuring incredibly talented performers wearing eyeliner & purple hair like the what’s-their-name soccer player and “GRRRRRRR...!!!!” and 🤬 and then blowing the whole concept to hell with a jazz version of a heavy metal ballad that was filler on an album from 30 years ago that was “supposed” to illustrate the introspective reflections of present day rebellious urban teens. Or something. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know the thread has gone on too long when it degrates into cheesy puns. Everybody has a different opinion on this but in the end we'll just have to agree to disabrie. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As though EVERYTHING that is not post modern is cheese? First of all, no body watches the Phantom or Fiddler show by SCV and says "Oh that's so cheesy." They say, "That's bad a#$. Awesome." Yeah, some of the haircuts and helmets were cheesy, but it was the 80s?! We are in the ARTS people. THE ARTS. I thought we valued diversity? For the love of the Arts, can the top 3 or 4 corps mix it up a bit, please? Just one year? I don’t necessarily associate cheese = bad. At the same time I love to witness the creativity of one’s mind or even collaboration. The beauty in art is how it makes you think and feel as an individual. Sometimes one creation resonates with a lot of us, sometimes only a few. We will always have critics in the arts, but no one can take away your experience. I think we all can be guilty of trying that( to be critical of an opinion or taste) and not leaving it alone as someone’s opiinion.
