So I went to a High School Choir performance.. And I was distracted as I saw a girls choir, 36 members, 5 of them wearing masks onstage, presumably singing through the masks!
More groups would appear, and I continued being distracted.. A Boys choir, 20 guys, ONLY one masked. A new group of girls, 45 on stage, 4 masked.. Anyone who took a brief solo was unmasked.
I'm trying to decide if I was viewing something ''political''. My obvious questions begin with ''why was anyone onstage wearing a mask''?
Were the masked folks even singing? Or were they props of a sort? Maybe the masked were the ones who had not been vaccinated? If so, fuck, the masks are not going to save them or protect anyone else on the stage. Were these masked Folks just being careful, since Covid is increasing lately? Why be onstage at all? Do you think 5 masked people out of 36, is necessary? Can't 31 deliver the performance? Were the masked faking it to get a participation trophy? Lip-synching is common today, at concerts where people pay $100-$300 to go. Maybe the idea of REAL performance has been dumbed down, and it's acceptable to go onstage and be what you want to be, with no accountability to your audience?
