I hope not. Your last sentence led me to think you might be really upset/disappointed/frustrated if the Cadets hit a tough placement period similar to what the Cavies had and are doing quite well now to get back in the medal hunt. I'm with those Cadet fans, even with the off season staff changes, who are confident they will stay competitive.

They were last seen running towards the corner arugula store before it closed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe a few clips here and there but nothing more than stimulating interest I think that's the adopted approach. We'll get a title and partial repertoire but no where near the level of live streams etc we've seen in the past I'm supportive of a moderate approach - I don't feel off season "silence" is a positive for the organization or the activity - but I do believe a little less is more. The last couple years us Cadets fans pretty much knew the program (even the drill) backwards and forwards before the Indy debut. Sort of took some air out of the excitement balloon Sharing some warm up stuff, maybe a short snip of show music and some other non-show content the next couple months will get us hyped G. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since I'm in the Cadets thread, I am focused on the Cadets' usage of props, which over the past few years, haven't been effective. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the props come added costs: the material itself and its construction, vehicle(s) to move them to shows, roadies to move them onto the field while corps members are moving judge blockers, front ensemble percussion instruments, etc. Maybe that's why GH recently posted that he wanted 250 members in DCI.
