Script by George? let's hope not... Lyrics from the song reference that working title... (below) I do like the uniform sketch - a modern look but the jacket hashes and the colors a nod back to the M&G classic uniform. Shako sketch looks cool Proof is always in the execution so we'll see when the actual uniform hits the field... The prop looks a little weird. Hard to tell but I guess if it moves by remote it could be cool worked into the drill, opening and closing a "dividing line" As others here have said, I'm very dubious. I hope they have a good 2018, but I have grave doubts as well... just based on recent decision making Hello darkness, my old friend I've come to talk with you again Because a vision softly creeping Left its seeds while I was sleeping And the vision that was planted in my brain Still remains Within the sound of silence In restless dreams I walked alone Narrow streets of cobblestone 'Neath the halo of a street lamp I turned my collar to the cold and damp When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light That split the night And touched the sound of silence And in the naked light I saw Ten thousand people, maybe more People talking without speaking People hearing without listening People writing songs that voices never share And no one dared Disturb the sound of silence Fools, said I, you do not know Silence like a cancer grows Hear my words that I might teach you Take my arms that I might reach you But my words, like silent raindrops fell And echoed in the wells of silence And the people bowed and prayed To the neon god they made And the sign flashed out its warning In the words that it was forming And the sign said, the words of the prophets are written on the subway walls And tenement halls And whispered in the sounds of silence Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terri Schehr Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 It sounds interesting to me. I just hope it doesn’t get too talky like 2008. That’s probably my least favorite Cadets show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaddyt Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 I think there's a concept in there somewhere that's intriguing, but the current show title right now seems to focus the idea too much, IMO. I'm guessing it'll be tweaked as they further flesh this thing out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dans Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 The more I hear about the 2018 Cadets, the more disgusted I become. Sounds like Hopkins is still ruining, I mean running the show at the Cadets. More tacky props, singing, and narration. Are you freaking kidding me? I need to pick another corps to support. It seems pretty clear that Hopkins is prepared to go down with the ship! What a sad situation. Shame on the Cadets board members for not stepping up to stop the bleeding at the Cadets. 34 years of following the Cadets quickly coming to an end! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZachDrumCorps Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 Honestly love the shakos, unsure about the uniform. From what I've heard, this show sounds intriguing. Let's hope this is the year that the Cadets get back on the RIGHT foot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't give a crap what the fans think about the Cadets. 34 years of support to the Cadets organization and all you can say is Bye. Hope you and Hopkins enjoy the continued decline of this once great organization. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is ironic that the corps that will perform a show that is supposedly predicated on the perils of self-absorption and not listening to others is led by a director who . . . is self-absorbed and . . . doesn’t listen to others! The GE for this show is going to be off the charts! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
