afd Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 Cadets are at 643. The next popular corp pages is Boston at over 200. BD is around 95. The rest...well...below 90. Why are the Cadets a big topic? This is only for 2017. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeRapp Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 Cadets, specifically George Hopkins, are controversial and very verbal. They invite arguments and differences of opinion. Cadets, like them or not, are very open about what they are doing, and that is a strategy that no other corps really uses. I hate to say it, but also, Cadets have long been a heavyweight in the activity and are slipping of late. That brings out the critics. And, frankly, a lot of their program decisions have not been all that popular or successful. They're sort of the Dallas Cowboys of DCI. Everyone either loves or hates them, but regardless, they're always in the news, in part because their owner is always loud and controversial. Cadets also are one of the corps that has been there from the beginning and has always pursued leadership in the activity in general. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really hope they do well this year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cleveland1 Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 this happens every year. There are a good amount of dedicated cadets fans/alums on dcp and they like to discuss the cadets, a lot. There is always drama too, whether its staff turnover or hopkins saying something on social media. Cadets aren't a boring corps to follow. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
