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. As far as transparency, we're almost in march so most of winter is over and haven't seen anything yet.

Hearing Hop discuss the design for this year gives me hope, at least in the sense that everyone seems to be on the same page and in agreement on the direction the show will go. Only time will tell how that all will flesh out, but they don't seem to be setting themselves up for design failure again by tweaking and re-tweaking constantly throughout the summer. As for the uni/costume, I'm optimistic for some reason. No clue why, but I'm looking forward to seeing a fresh take the 'look'. Hop mentioned that it incorporates some recent Cadet history.... Is the striped leg coming back?? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's where he gets his inspiration for his infamous Hop talks. But this year he may have a hassle as we've signed with Tresona and will be collecting licensing fees.

BUT... 70 seems large enough to do the job for them nonetheless, imo Man... how does any corps survive with only 70 horns??? LOL 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
