It was really hard Know what's cool? You and I both understand through the Cadets experience what it is like to work incredibly hard on something that difficult. An incredibly tiny percentage of the world know firsthand that experience. That's what it's all about 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That drill was one of the best ever, IMO, and that show was probably THE greatest show ever from a GE perspective. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can tell you that there are a few people I marched with in 1999 who chose not to come back in 2000. They were kicking themselves when they saw us in 2000. I was almost 90% sure I wasn't going back until I got a call from one of the staff asking me to come back. Then Gino happened. Needless to say, I was sold. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FTNK Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 I would have aged out in 2007 but didn't march. No regrets 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Needless to say, I was sold. I can understand that. 1999 must have been a disappointing year for all, at least competitively. I haven't watched your 2000 show in years. A friend posted it on his wall last night and I watched it a couple times then and a couple times at work today. You guys were hauling ### throughout that show and were so clean. I seriously can't believe you went undefeated with how demanding that show was. And by that, I mean how were you not a mess in June? Must have been really exciting for you to come out of the gate so strong with such a demanding show. Really remarkable. Great guard too.

Must have been really exciting for you to come out of the gate so strong with such a demanding show. Really remarkable. Great guard too. To be honest with you, after our first show, I didn't really understand why the crowd loved that show so much. I wasn't really a big fan of it. I also didn't understand why were were undefeated because I felt there many things that were dirty. I still remember that first show in Bloomington, IN where before we finished the end of the opener, the crowd was going bonkers (although, there were a lot of band kids). It wasn't really until San Antonio that I realized how special the show was at that time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just sat there in complete awe. The part in your picture, while so cool, was just like 1 great moment in a show with 11.5 minutes of great moments.
