What's worse, ending up in 11th or being the topic of a discussion and not being mentioned once in the last two pages of this now three page thread?

... and every mountain and hill made low. But a more appropriate wish for drum corps would be the next lyrics ... to make "the crooked straight".

The other thing I recall about when Cadets did the Macy's parade was that their drumline opened the broadcast from in front of the store to kickoff the parade. They then had to hightail it back to join the rest of the corps to march the parade.

You could also look at it from the perspective of, why have BDB, SCV Cadets and Spartans (and now Gold too) not been required to move up to Worlds? Where is the line in the sand for scoring that calls for a corps to be in one class or the other?

I might also suggest simply going to their website where it clearly states "... while overall planned expenses for the 2023 season were managed within expectations, the organization fell short of its fundraising goals for the year."

Actually, Chris' last post was on 10/17 replying to Jeff with a general "More will be forthcoming. " There was no timeline given and the only person to mention something coming out within a week was a different poster. Please check chat history. I'd also like more information about the Cadets situation by now, but will give them a bit more time before cranking up the DCP crowd.

So, I looked back and there was never anything from the Cadets promising an update. TheOneWhomKnows simply mentioned on 10/24 "was told the board is coming out with an update tomorrow..." So, another piece of hearsay for people to get their panties in a bind over.

Let's not forget, the Sackler family didn't get hit too bad in the settlement, so they got lots of opiod money left to donate to needy corps.

Sorry, I misread the title of this thread. It specifically states it's a discussion on "sustainability and revenue" and not a discussion about "ethical sustainability and revenue generation". My bad.

Incorrect, it was not not due to the "political views" of the donor but due to the discriminatory moral and ethical actions of the donor company's owner. Pumping money to organizations that discriminate is not a political view, it's a moral disgrace.

One thing to consider in the props and outfits discussion is how much flack Cadets got for theirs this past year. I'd bet they'd have scored a point higher if their props and outfits were flashy and expensive like that many other corps (but also not meaning to give them a free ride on some of the choices). So even the ability to afford these items, and at the level to add to and not detract from GE scores, is something corps need to consider when adding up the projected costs, risks and distractions of the coming season.

Still no word on if Bloo will march?

Am I the only one who noticed it? On the FloMarching recording of the Cadets at CrownBEAT, there’s a Garfield “G” in the drill from 15:00 to 15:04 (high cam) in the bottom left corner of your screen. It’s the capital G with an arrow pointed up in place of the bar across. COOL!!

Does anyone know if the Cadets will be marching in the Bristol, RI Fourth of July parade tomorrow?
