Judges like that. But drill writing by committee usually doesn't work. Since we haven't heard the final arrangement, all this discussion is moot but expressive of better and great hopes for 2018. Have a great Spring Training. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now THAT's visual design. Blind link ups, constant reshapes, high tempos. That's huge demand... all while playing incredibly well.

DCI-86 Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 What Cadet's guard needs is some personality - look at their Championship level guards (see video above) and all the current top guards, and they all have abundant amounts of 'personality'. It is not good enough just to spin and dance in time, you need something extra that helps bring the show to life (think SCV last year, Carolina Crown and BD most years). 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YES...Look at 1995 Cadets guard. They were so good at interpretation of that show. Also in 2005 and 2011. But the 1995 show just stands out IMO. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Recent Cadet shows would be challenging for any guard to hone in on (and nail) the interpretation/emotion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
