Everyone else agrees it's completely overblown. That is true...I'm older and don't find it offensive...so...guess it's how you read it I guess... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

henry7184 Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 Great job by the Cadets guard tonight. They must be thrilled. Nice to see their guard putting up good results. Since 1989, Cadets have often had my favorite guard work. I don't think this year will be an exception. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Youthful indiscretion. I'm just glad I didn't have access to this technological wizardry to record all my impulsive thoughts for all posterity. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it apparently delivers for him. Whats not to like ? His reply made me laugh too. .. lol. Edited June 25, 2017 by BRASSO 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go Cadets! Well, maybe on here. Last night at the show the Canton/Massillon crowd really loved the Cadets. Their show is sensational. It really is. This show is so much better than last year. Night and Day (as Sinatra would say). I really believe this show could catch fire and be one of the HOT shows coming down the stretch if they clean and make the right changes. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwillis35 Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 Also, I was not really bothered by the narration. I did not find it too preachy, and in each case the narration is slowly faded out as other elements come into play. The 8-piece Choral Octet is wonderful. The best use of singing that maybe I've ever heard on field (band or corps). You can tell they do not have the demand in the horn book that they typically do, but there is enough. No need to overdo things with this show. I love the more refined approach they are taking to sound, musicality, and phrasing. Most of the other corps last night just rammed us with LOUD LOUD LOUD. Cadets do have to clean articulations and blending within the sections. There were plenty of stick outs and cleaning feet will be a major challenge for them.

Yes, Cadets Guard was their nemesis the last couple of seasons, and if the 1st 2 show scores for this season are any barometer, it appears that they have improved this Corps section.
