Tobias Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 (edited) Good stuff. Brass doing run through of entire show today unfortunately not for our ears yet due to finalizing licensing rights but very very soon. Brass 70 + 7 alternates on site along with 8 vocalists. Excitement about new uniforms.... I hope they are maroon, gold and cream. Very strong winter program this year and ahead of schedule. Guard returns in April. 35 contracted still need 5. Hopefully some "something" released soon. A Cadets uniform thread perhaps? Edited February 19, 2017 by Tobias 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brass34 Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 The trumpets have had control of the Cadets official Snapchat story this weekend. They went around and introduced themselves, and it seemed like a lot of first year Cadets in that section Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They went around and introduced themselves, and it seemed like a lot of first year Cadets in that section 3 things happened there: Steve Bentley, trumpet tech for past several seasons, shipped out to Boston with G. Cipriani as he has followed him to wherever Gino taught for several corps. I heard some followed them there and to other corps. 2) last year's line included a number of rookies, some who did not work out, some who grew disenchanted with last season's process and results. 3) several of the vets from last year either aged out or have moved on to other career and educational challenges for this summer and are not doing drum corps anymore anywhere. Eleran has a special perspective of all of this. Besides you know what divas trumpet players are. How many trumpets are needed to change a light bulb? Just one; the rest stand around bragging that they could do it higher and sweeter. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe he is now contracted with BD. But it definitely feels like the start of a new era in Cadetland 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
