Jurassic Lancer Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 (edited) 6 minutes ago, BRASSO said: Its an interesting suggestion, and perhaps this is the way forward for this great, iconic Drum Corps. I suppose its up to those that remain at the Cadets to decide on what to do now. I caution taking a season off, as history is not that kind to Corps that decide to suspend operations for a year or 2 with hopes of returning to competition later. Some come back, but most don't. And the ones that do make it back do not come back as competitively strong as they were when they made the decision to take time off from DCI competition. On the other hand, the Cadets are unlike other Corps, so perhaps that strategy could work for them. But its unchartered territory. Its just sad that this has happened. No real good options here it would seem. Ugh. Just a cursory scan of reddit leads me to believe the 2018 MMs are committed to a great Cadets experience this year.

If I were the alumni I would consider moving the Cadets back to NJ (Garfield or Bergenfield). I would change the name to Garfield Cadets or Holy Name Cadets. I'm not so sure staying in Allentown is such a good idea from here on. I will then expect you to attend my first Mass at St. Peter's. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
