Does anyone know how every holiday season, Wheaton College, out in the suburbs, puts on an annual holiday concert? I enjoy those, and one of my favorites is this one below.


But, I'm completely mind blown by how lackluster the response the audience gave at the end, despite the performance being phenomenal. It's not just the complete lack of cheering, whooping, etc, as to why I considered the response lackluster, if you look at how the audience was clapping at the end like at 1:15:45, it's clearly noticeable that they weren't even clapping energetically, just tepidly and nothing more.

A big reason to why I bring this up on here is because I came up with this one idea where a few folks from the Cubs would publicly say how sad it was that the audience responded this way, how it didn't make sense given how extraordinary the performance was, and etc. (I'm sure the Cubs would be mind blown by the response as well if they were to watch this.) With that all said, what do you think of that idea?

Wheaton College had a pretty big hazing scandal a few years ago.

I did not know that Wheaton College put on an annual Holiday concert, but now I know. Knowledge is power, people.

What did you think of it?


I thought it was okay. Not great. Not worth a hard clap or anything, and definitely not standing ovation worthy.

Do you think some members of the Cubs could publicly say how sad it is that I'm not getting the recognition I deserve for trying to help gwharris?

I felt the performance was a little derivative, and thus lacked the accent that we've all grown accustomed to from the Wheaton College Orchestra. The adagio in the third movement was really quite troubling, as it took me totally out the crescendo that was to come. Frankly, I thought I could have found a better performance at Wheaton North High School.
