The Cadets finished out day three at Western Carolina University yesterday with more rain. After another morning with the clinic students, a torrential downpour slammed the stadium at 1 p.m. The Cadets and high school students paused visual rehearsal to run for cover, just as I was walking up into the stands to film my […]
Anyone who thought drum corps in Kewanee was dead should have been at Wethersfield High School Wednesday afternoon to see The Spirit of Atlanta.

Yesterday looked very similar to the day before. To better accommodate the clinic, The Cadets flipped their schedule around so that sectionals were in the morning and visual rehearsal was after lunch. During each section’s warm-up, their respective staff members spent time talking to the high school students about The Cadets’ approach to marching music—why […]
