I would LOVE for such a product to be available again someday! I would REALLY love to have it for 2007 Cadets!! This 1992 corps was SO different through finals week. Almost miraculous! I remember those corps super pack things! Yes - Cadets made a lot of changes in the final 30 days of 1992 so the corps was surging incredibly at the end The corps was a mess Saturday night in Allentown, looked a lot better Thursday but Friday (the video I linked) was when it all started to come together. A "controlled" performance for maybe the first time all season. Saturday was also good and the corps flipped on Star and went from 3rd to 2nd place - the finals night run was louder and with more energy but perhaps a tad sloppier as the emotion seemed to get away from them. The crowed LOVED them on finals night. What a great year to look back on! The 1992 "surge" really set the corps up for the 1993 championship 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually focus this early is just getting their feet under the members. Day #2 underway! Bless your heart! The only thing more boring than learning drill, is watching someone else learn drill. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopkins posted a video update last night :) I do plan on checking out the corps next Wednesday (5/31) in person when they have ten days or so under their belt. Should have 5 minutes on the field then if all runs according to schedule. The back half of the program is very aggressive so I'd expect them to open in Indy with a shell of the closer and update that in July Edited May 21, 2017 by George Dixon 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
