2017 World Championships Finals - Aug 12


Recommended Posts

It is very hard to tell on Flo,  but CadeTA seemed to have a much better run than last night.  Anyone watching on Flo has no idea if it is bad camera angles,  bad microphone placement, good sound, bad sound, etc...

in any case,  Cadets looked improved over last nights performance

 

congrats to the kids for finishing strong

If this is the direction the Cadets are headed count me as a fan.  Mass is a great work composed Bernstein...Jewish with suspected socialist/communist leanings but who cares...the dudes talent was in-human (agents of shield reference).

visually the show is incredibly ambitious and I'll be humming this music more than most this off season.  It's obvious that the kids are very young compared the past few years at Cadets.  

So much better than last year's "everybody must get stoned!"

Marines now form their parade block and prepare to leave the field playing the Marines' Hymn.

I have a few Marines Drum Corps CDs but none in the last ten years.  Do you have any idea where I could get a CD of this show?  It sounds fantastic.

If you're offended, then stop looking for reasons to be offended. It's just a drum corps show. 

I appreciate the show a lot. Bernstein is just so #### good.

I would agree with that.  Lot of energy for Hop's kids tonight.

Wow. I just don't like this form Cadets at. Personally I find it oppressive. It is religiously blunt and I don't feel it. I have always, always, been a Cadets fan, I have followed since those great 80's years but for me it is not welcoming. I adore the music that is played and I think that most captions are done well. GE bothers me. I am not comfortable with the choir. They sing well. I don't want to go to church at a drum corps competition. Sorry guys I know that a lot of you like Cadets this year but for me it is not clicking. 

I think it's fair to feel this way. I don't mind the religious theme, but I dislike the heavy use of vocals. Still, the ending is glorious.

Amazing performance from the Cadets. Super clean, emotional and the guard just had the run of their lives. Bravo. Feel exhausted after watching that.

*WHOOSH*

That's the sound of the entire point behind the show going right over your head.
