Am I the only one in the world not terribly impressed anymore by Blast?

I probably am. Well, at least that will mean one more ticket will be available.

This is wonderful. While some may be tired of BLAST! a lot of people have never experienced it before, and this could be just the thing for them, if they dont care for marching band. My grandmother really liked BLAST! because it was similar to drumcorps/band, but it was very theatrical and in doors. Brass theatre (as some call it) is catching on all around the country and other foreign places--perhaps someday we will see brass threate/BLAST! type competitions in the winter/spring to go along with WGI events. BLAST! has created something new in which we can explore and build other musical experiences upon. What I like most about BLAST! is that it isn't dated, they use a lof of past, present, and new ideas!

If it's any consolation, "Cats" is still playing.

I totally felt in love with BLAST never since I watch it on PBS a few years ago.

You felt in love with Blast or you FELL in love with Blast? "Never since I watch it on PBS a few years ago"...where do I even begin with that one? If you never watch it on PBS, then how do you fall in love with it? Watch it of course would be present tense. Watched would be past tense.
Congrated!
