Closer is just going on the field. I’ve heard of audio only, really good arrangement. Really good. This brass and drum lines are going places this year. It’s great Cadets are under the radar for a change lol

Not really since there's been more discussions about the corps these past six weeks or so than other corps.  But yes, since GH has departed, the videos posted have dropped big time so very few have an idea of their brass/percussion potential.

Ok so I think you’ve settled on yes

I think THAT was the point of what he was saying.

A little mystery is a good thing.

Fix those skyscraper plumes.

I was not a fan of the mixed color plumes when they were worn by the Black Cadets in 15 and 16. These skyscraper plumes have been worn by other units the past few years especially in BOA circles as well as drum corps. They do not affix well to the headgear; these bushes tend to fall or deflate when the body does anything other than military cadence marching; the resulting obtuse various angles from the shifting makes any visual form appear dirty, undressed (as in dress center, dress) and a neon light for tick cleaning here and here and here. So it was last night at Ada. Though the marchers were fine, the plume angles were not.

Perhaps a better cylinder where the plume staff enters the top of the shako might cement the erect feathers better. Perhaps hair spray on the bottom quarter of the plume might make it stiffer where the pressure is most direct. But do something to assist the great efforts of the mms to march a clean show.

The designers be &%$med; the activity is supposed to be about the mms performing before the audience and judges, not about the self-appointed fashionistas. Especially one who abandoned the corps to show where his allegiance lay this season. DeMoulah should do much, much better.
