Can you read the name Tops in Blue without your eyes rolling backwards into your skull? If not, you share the same opinion as the Air Force, which has officially canceled the show choir’s 2016 season.

The Tops in Blue recruits thirty amateur singers and dancers from the Air Force every year and sends them on tour to military bases. Some see them as fun entertainment, others as an irritating joke, but in upper echelons of the Air Force the group’s survival really comes down budget and manpower.

Tops in Blue has enjoyed a budget that spiked to $1.3 million, and between the performers and crew that tour the globe and the audience members who watch them, it sucks up a lot of man hours that could be used more productively. Ending the show choir will hopefully save money and time down the line.

Just because the Tops in Blue 2016 season has been canceled doesn’t mean it’s dead and gone. The Air Force is officially suspending the recreational program to perform an “extended review.”

Part of that review is whether or not the larger Air Force actually likes the choir. Earlier this year, the Air Force asked service members to air their choir-related grievances and praises in a branch-wide survey. It found that although half of surveyed military and civilian employees would attend a future Tops in Blue performance, only a mere 25 precent have watched Tops in Blue in the past five years. A whopping 41 percent of airmen also said that the branch should cut the group. Just 19 percent thought the choir should be kept unchanged.

In an Air Force press release, Lt. Gen. Gina Grosso described how the branch decided to finally mercy kill Tops in Blue.

“The decision to pause and reassess the 2016 Tops in Blue season was a tough one,” said Lt. Gen. Gina Grosso, the director of manpower, personnel and services. “While Airmen’s feedback was extremely important, it was just one of many factors considered as we seek to meet our core mission requirements in a time of constrained resources. The Air Force will continue to support our Airmen and their families while recognizing their entertainment preferences have changed.”
