BUT... 70 seems large enough to do the job for them nonetheless, imo They marched 70 in 2015 and won high brass Last year they marched 72 (73 if you count the trumpet soloist) - 2 extra on mellophone I believe compared to 2015 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Dixon Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 others on here saying 36 guard - but I've heard 40 membership spots. So maybe 4 alternates spots? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2000Cadet Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 1 hour ago, Tobias said: So from GH FB live: cadets back to traditional colors of maroon, cream and gold. Marching 70 brass, 36 guard, 19 battery to allow for 8 vocalists. FE please calculate. Show music all finished with stops and gaps for Percussion, guard features but kids have it all. Transparency will return soon as music licensing agreements signed. Cadets will remain the transparent corps. Design team very ahead of schedule. Have had numerous meetings (many more than probably any past year due to them all living within an hour+ of each other. Visuals written, props designed, unis designed, moving along very well. As per GH.) He will hold webinars every Sunday to keep us updated. Good stuff. Not terribly excited about the transparency stuff, but I am happy they've not released a lot of information as early as they did in previous years. I guess both sides can be happy. The uniform? I won't judge until I see it. I hope it's classy and not something like what Bluecoats had last year (not a swipe at Bluecoats, just meaning it should be unique to THE CADETS and not trying to be like Bluecoats). To hear the design team being ahead of schedule is A LOT better than what went on last year (but again, I will be more of a better judge when I see the product). I hope there are some great horn, guard and drum features as well. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incidentally, don't the Cadets hold the record for fielding the largest hornline in DCI one year, George ? Didn't they once go with over 80 brass one season ( 85? ) or something like that ?

They used 70 many other recent seasons - and 72 a few others 85 they used 80 for part of the show and got killed by the visual judges Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OTOH if they are 'reaching back' they may go for something more conservative. It's gonna be interesting to see where they take this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
