Sometimes it really is "hip to be square"! Ah, the ole days! This is one of my favorite uniforms of all time. The Cadets! But how will they ever be able to perform wearing all that head gear?

But you go ahead and continue making personal attacks. I won't even report it. People who post things like this make it hard not to get a jaded opinion of Cadets fans. Don't bother with him. He only exists in this thread to complain about people complaining 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finals is less than a month away and the show isn't just being tweaked, it's never been performed in its entirety. And yes... I'm well aware that in drum corps days gone by, shows were often not completed until mid-season. Well... sorry, but that doesn't cut it anymore. Since DCI started broadcasting season openers, they've been tacitly expecting a relatively complete product out of the gate. Staff changes or not, it's poor planning, and it puts these kids at a disadvantage. As Septa Unella would say.... Shame. Wasn't there a HUGE pushback from all posters on DCP when BK didn't have their show finished in July last year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cappybara Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 This complete vs incomplete show argument is stupid because the Cadets lose the argument either way. they come out with a complete show and fire on all cylinders and get #### on for that. They come out with an incomplete show that can better progress throughout the season and get #### on for that too. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they make great changes and get it turned around I'll give them credit where it is due. If they come out next year with a pretty complete show they would make me happy. I don't have some sort of axe to grind don't like Cadets attitude that you're trying to lump everyone who has a criticism in with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then what's the point in badgering (talking generally, not you specifically) about them not having the closer done? Just let the season go on and see how it goes. If it doesnt work well in the end, then I think it's reasonable to show criticism. BK had the same issues last year and they still placed where they usually place.

It's not like the Cadets show was that unfinished. They had all but 1 minute or so on the field. BD had way less of their visual program ready at the start (albeit a much stronger corps and product). I honestly do not know why this became a big deal (not blaming you or anyone else). It's not like the Cadets stop in mid-stream. They do have a closer and while somewhat sterile it does act as a temp. It's not like they came out like BK did last year. Yeah, I don't know why people are STILL using the excuse of "Cadets still don't have a closer in, just wait". Their show is just as complete as the rest of World Class. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
