Are you saying this?[my highlight & spelling] Excluding those endeavors that are bound by multi-year contracts, I would guess it to not be highly unusual. The fact the some choose not to reload succeeding seasons does not necessarily equate to the inability to do so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's talking about another guy who went the BDB-Bloo-BDA route. He was with Bloo last year for their championship performance. I believe Arjun tried out in 2015 as well but didn't make it so took a year off. He had marched Bloo in 2014 as a 15 year old, so he only ages out in 2020 I believe. BDA's snareline this past year consisted of two former Crown snares and four former Bloo snares, three of which were on the 2014 Bluecoats line and two have former BDB ties.

I remembered that someone from 16 Bloo went BD this year, but could not remember the section. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shewhois Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 9 hours ago, George Dixon said: got some more specific numbers for Cadets Age Outs - Trumpets (8), Mellophones (2), Baritones (5), Tubas (2), Snares (4), Tenors (2), Bass (3), Pit (4) DM(1), Guard (14) (12 of the 14 include 2 from Japan and are flags - most of the weapons can come back) So instrumentalists who aged out total 29 Initial feedback suggest very good retention from the non-age outs as well - so seems like a base for 2018 And three vocalists... if it matters. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Dixon Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 Just now, Shewhois said: And three vocalists... if it matters. Yup I was focusing on the instrumental folks to be honest. Plus 1 DM and the guard folks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brassboy Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 Mandarins had about 15 age-outs according to my source. I don't know the specific section breakdown. But assuming they (1) retain the same design team, (2) see a large number of returning members (after having a positive 2017 experience), and (3) attract lots of new talent as a result of further exposure this year, 2018 could be even more exciting for Mandarins.

Dyhrd Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 PC had 14 this season from what I can tell - 3 DMs, 3 Guard, and the remaining 8 Brass/Percussion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flammaster Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 Most of BD's hornline was rookies anyway. I heard 50? (not confirmed) but I hardly saw any familiar faces and look how they did. I am gonna say watch out for b corps next year! C corps isn't cute anymore either. They beat a couple corps and are only gonna get better.
