They didn't
have to have the concert at all. One solution to the problem of the concert stage taking up room otherwise available for FRC fields would have been not to have the problem in the first place.

I have recently come to understand that many people truly do not have the ability to tell the difference between great music and not great music.

I plan to attend the concert, if only to find out what message it presents. (I also plan to wear earplugs.)

FIRST doesn't have to remain unchanging forever. I know
my focus has changed in the eight years I've been part of FRC, though the broader goal is still the same. If FIRST's direction
is changing, I'd like to know what the new target is.
