I've gotta say. I've really hated this trend in DCI where they throw as much clutter on to the field as possible. There weren't any sick/cool drills in this show because there were fucking tarps and cages everywhere. I'm a huge cavalier fan, i just wish they'd go back to what made them dominent in the 2000's. I want the Green Machine back!!! D:

boogymonster7 the problem is that the design team for the cavaliers are trapped they want to make relevant modern shows and yet make them crowd favorites and a lot of the time you can’t just put on a show like “Machine” or “Niagara Falls” as well as please the judges. And to be fair I don’t think we need another show like “Machine”. If you love the Green Machine then support them no matter what

Visual Analysis is composed of five criteria: Authenticity, Cohesion, Universality, Uniqueness and Emotion. AUTHENTICITY - This show was authentic in the way it broached the subject of gay identity in the Rufus Wainwright version of Bolero. At least let's give it authenticity-- it pertained to the members, many of whom are challenging traditional attitudes toward sexual roles in society. This theme didn't pair well with the mental illness theme, but hey, that would have required some real time in planning and storyboarding by the artistic director. So forget it. UNIVERSALITY - Creative discovery is universal, and the feeling of becoming free or overcoming an obstacle are both universal. UNIQUENESS - This was a unique visual approach using John Nash lines connecting the stage elements, and the cages with gay men pouring out was original, so it was unique. EMOTION It had some emotion, capturing the feeling of freedom from constraint, and overcoming obstacles, and there's a definite change by the end, indicating some attention to the understructure of the show. COHESION - But the criterion that was totally lacking in this show was cohesion. It didn't hang together. The combining of the gay theme and mental illnesses was just not congruent. The theme was misaligned and un-cohesive.

Mad World was even worse. It was more confused, thematically. The audience cheered in support of the insane Full Metal Jacket character Leonard Lawrence saying "This is my rifle." The audience didn't even realize the film was a dark lampoon of how the military wrongly preys on the mentally handicapped. The audience cheered at the masculine bravado of "This is My Rifle", despite the grim message underneath. The audience screamed because the sequence was visually stark, and because it was virulently masculine and supportive of military endeavors. But underneath it all, the audience had forgotten that "This is My Rifle" was part of Full Metal Jacket's damning expose of the US obsession with violence with which our culture is suffering. The audience misinterpreted the grim message, and screamed in support of the macho grandstanding. And that's not something a show designer should be proud of. And no, audience can't both honor the masculine military ideal, and praise the military's misguided abuse of the mentally ill. Those two things cannot reasonably co-exist in the same production.

@@Inspadave "The curtains were blue". That means your designers did things without purpose. Maybe that's why you lost. Also, when you're spending a million dollar production budget with limited and specifically chosen design elements, the curtains better be blue for a reason. This isn't a novel or a solo artist doing a painting. This is a mass-scale youth education production with meaning. Designers have a responsibility of interpretation. They're being paid, not a lot, but they're being paid, and it's a highlly-collaborative art form.

This is an appalling thread that highlights how misunderstood this show design was. There are hundreds of these threads around the internet, all speculating about what this show meant. Some of the threads are jaw-dropping in their ignorance. Here's the truth in a nutshell. 1) Cavaliers' design team started with gay composer Rufus Wainright's version of Bolero, which was a commentary on gay and straight roles in society. Great. 2) The design team had no visual program, so they did a search on Ravel, Bolero's composer, and researched artists with similar mental illnesses, and added the John Nash schizophrenic string theory connecting things. 3) Holy shit, they now have a show about coming out and mental illness, an uncomfortable and historically inflammatory combination that they did nothing to correct all season. Worse, many people in the audience think the Cavaliers were making fun of gay people, with the use of their flamboyant costuming and exaggerated expressions. Many in the audience thought that including a rainbow, and full length iridescent mylar wings was a "joke", a lampoon of gay culture. Meanwhile, the entire season, not one executive from this bumbling design team came out to explain or own the gay imagery-- the flamboyant wings, Wainwright's gay lyrics, the rainbow, or coming out of the cages or anything else. Not one person from the Cavaliers. WTF. So let's be clear, this misguided mismanaged 501c3 organization chose a theme of gay coming out, and yet no one on the management team was available to discuss it, or clarify it for the general public. The show was completely misunderstood, could easily be mistaken for equating being gay with mental illness, and management did nothing about it. They came out with one "It's not about mental illness" video, but didn't fill in the blanks. This show will go down as one of the most misunderstood, recklessly designed, socially irresponsible and culturally ignorant shows of all time. Someone needs to be fired.

Tuba Jesus I'm gay too. I click on show design elements to see what's underneath. Santa Clara's show, for example, was about Trump's botched border handling, featuring barcodes like the ones the child immigrants are issued, costumes and flags in the colors of the Mexican flag, bandana like masks people wore which are reminiscent of Mexican immigrants, and featured cages where people were held-- all under the guise of a biblical story of "Babylon" where cultures could no longer speak to one another. All this shit is hiding underneath and gets revealed when you click on it.

I have watched a lot of DCI bands lately run their routines and even the one I truly love (shall remain nameless) does the same thing on field. They all play one-three notes loudly and hold them for a few seconds then change field positions. What ever happened to playing real music? This crap is has NO melodic signature and is quite unrecognizable to any audiophile. Don't get me wrong, I know it's not the bands fault but the directors/choreographers should explain why this is done and so far removed from high-school shows, please. Oh and before the haters call me a troll let me qualify my remarks. I spent 6 years on the high school band team (7-12 grade) and 4 years with DCi (1979-1983). So unless you have done the same don't comment.
@jesuspectre98836 жыл бұрын
It's the "Put a Button on It" syndrome, where each melodic phrase has to end with some triple forte standard chord resolution. Audiences respond to volume. Knowledgable musicians are pointing out this candy-coated arrangement syndrome. It usually accompanies some huge rifle toss and a formal stationary drill set. It's sickening, unmusical and cliche. However, on the other hand, now musicians are rewarding corps who are avoiding the "Put a Button on It' syndrome. Any corps that has unique transitions, or who avoid contrived resolutions every 120 counts are being over-rewarded, and in the end could use a little more showmanship. Personally, I can't stand the Button syndrome. Carolina Crown had a couple of these awkward contrived chord resolutions in their show, and it was disappointing to say the least.

That said the Cavies this year still had plenty of sets that I haven't seen any of those band programs get close to in terms of speed or complexity.
