Nice to see music back on the Mill Stage and the end to last year's long (inter-) national nightmare.

These guys sound tres chouette...
It's unfortunate that their stage presence is lacking. Let's hope they grow into it!

 

[dreamscometrue]

That's wonderful. I think this is a great addition

 

[Thumper 32]

Sigh. Another one that I wanted to like. Plenty of musical ability, but as has been said already, absolutely no stage presence or showmanship. This is exactly why real Disney produced entertainment is needed instead of all these outside groups.

Haven't they always preferred to bring in outside acts from the host nation? I remember folks here having three conniptions over the Lumberjacks not all being Canadian.

At least give them a bit of time to develop stage presence and a comfort level at Epcot.

Why should there be a double standard? Would you say the same thing if a parade opened and wasn't up to quality? This is a world class theme park, not a place to learn how to perform.

Wednesday's through Sunday's? What is Epcot doing to their entertainment?

Sound didn't work on my device when I played the video so I cannot comment of the music, but what I saw was people just standing on the stage. Doesn't anyone "perform" anymore?

Can't help but agree with your point. As a musician from Canada I know for a fact that there are much better acts to offer who actually put on a show while providing wonderful authentic music. These guys were boring to watch and the music was decent but lacked the energy and push that you want to hear in that environment.

I don't think it's a place where a band should have to ease into it. You either have showmanship or you don't. Unfortunately I can't foresee a large crowd gathering to watch this group, hopefully they are able to pull a crowd instead of just walk-by performances.

 

[ToTBellHop]

You don't enjoy to guy on the right who kicks? I could watch his kicking as long as I could watch a bobble head. Ah...catharsis.

 

[Cmdr_Crimson]

Dat Dancing......

 

[Thelazer]

Why Why Why?

Another group that doesn't "fit" the quality level of what used to be great entertainment provided by Disney. At this point, they should just hand the stage over to Disney Performing Arts, and book Canadian high-school bands to play on it everyday.....

 

[Sans Souci]

I want to hear some Gordon Lightfoot, preferably, "The Wreck of the Edmond Fitzgerald."

 

[PinnySmart]

I like the folk sounding instrumentals but I don't care for the vocals. I really had high hopes but they seem to miss the mark.

 

[mouse_luv]

The band sounds okay but take away the vocals. Also, give them some time I guess. I loved Off Kilter too, but no one is going to be them and we shouldn't be expecting them to be.

 

[Dads 2 Boys]

RUSH is now retired..... bring them to Epcot!!! It would give me another reason to move..... Lol

 

[wdisney9000]

Is that Ginnifer Goodwin from 'Once Upon a Time' (girl in the skirt playing flute/oboe)??

The guy on the left (long sleeve plaid shirt) seems like he really doesnt want to be there

Im pretty sure the tap dancing guy is on LSD.

The other two are secret lovers.

 

[sophie_the_pooh]

Wow, that was terrible... Was that supposed to be some kind of french canadian traditional music? Because I am a french canadian from Quebec and it definitely isn't supposed to sound like that! It's a very festive and energic type of music, mostly played during the Holidays... (We also have country music, but that's different...)

Can we get Corey Hart, please? Thank you!!
