page A8 OpinionEDITOR Katie Sensabaugh EMAIL [email protected] Thursday, September 1, 2011 A7 EDITORIAL Disconcerted e annual ritual of University Program Board concert announcements is once again followed by the ritual of dis- appointed feedback. To be fair, music is perhaps the most subjective and debat- able form of entertainment. And asking  students would result in  di erent requests, which makes booking an act an exercise in futility. Still, that doesn’t change the frustrations that many stu- dents have with the concerts. Supporting up-and-coming acts is commendable, but the recent contert announcement, Chiddy Bang, feels like a signi cant step down from artists UPB has booked in the past. We don’t deny that Chiddy Bang has fans. But they don’t seem like an act that really appeals to the JMU community as a whole. Also, setting the ticket price at  for a show in Wil- son is above the average for an artist of their type. e problem with the occasional student surveys for con- cert requests, is that it isn’t immediately clear whether these are viable options that have been contacted and appraised for actual viability, or collection of acts that simply gauge audi- ence interest. We understand UPB is in a fairly precarious position. Book- ing an act that is too small risks student indi erence, while booking a huge act is assumedly beyond its resources. e idea of three smaller, more diverse concerts in the fall of last year did much to assuage these concerns and would properly re ect taste and music overall. More student choice is probably the biggest demand for this event. UPB should communicate a more realistic view of what is obtainable. is would go a long way to make the semester concerts the exciting events they should be.
