Cadetsaholic

well, they are just going to be scattered supposedly...i'm making the trek up there...so it better be all right...it was ok last night, except for the power outage which delayed Surf....

The Line up is as follows...with my predicitions There is a big spread for each corps since it all depends on the panel of judges... The Cadets 92.90-93.65 (they deserve higher, but the judges will keep them lower) Crossmen 81.90-82.65 Cavaliers 95.45-96.15 (easily the winner in this contest) Madison Scouts 87.65-89.10 (they deserve the higher) Carolina Crown 88.85-90.05 Esperanza 74.80-75.50 The Magic 75.95-76.35 what does everyone think?!

Tonight is the Cadets and the Cavies last show to clean up before the Eastern Classic...how do you think the corps will do...any predictions--scoring?!

interesting...and I agree with you that the Cadets are putting it all out there and the judges just aren't giving the Cadets their due...such is life in DCI I guess....

will do

I'll be in attendance!

I forgot that the Bloo fans and well everyone haven't dogged the Cadets on this board for umm the past year now....hmm....I am not trying to get into a fight honestly...I truly believe that the Cadets are the better corps...that is my opinion...Bloo and everyone else can have their own opinion as well....but I really do not like being told "i should be slapped" because I do not agree with someone thinking that Bloo is going to be able to keep on top of the Cadets...I will not believe until Bloo proves that at Madison. I was in PA tonight for the show...and the Cadets looked better....and yes I am biased...but it is true...their percussion is dirty...but I'm sure August will do everything he can to make things better by Madison...tomorrow is another show for the cadets and another chance to up their score...and I am sure they will...I am sorry if I offended any the Bloo fans...it was not my attention, and I am sorry I wore my allegiance on my sleeve.... I am sorry again, Bloo Alum, in particular...I am a Cadets fan and supporter...and have been my whole life...I think Bloo is a good corps and are probably just starting to see the "golden years" of the corps being in '06...good luck...in Allentown...and Madison....should be interesting... Go CADETS

you know what...just because i just joined a little bit ago...does not mean i'm really new to this activity and to the history and quality of the shows and the corps that have performed...I have not out right called anyone out...or degraded into first grade name calling and pointing fingers...all i am saying...is that History proves that the Cadets will/are making their push and they will be able to overpass Bloo....Bloo has a good show...and I'm happy that they are breaking through...but I have seen both their shows, and I think the Cadets' show will prove to be superior in Madison, against Bloo that is...

actually i do know drum corps for quite some time and have watched the Cadets and travelled with them for the past 2-3 years...watching most of their shows on the east coast....so i really do not appreciate being belittled...thank you

oh please....sinking ship...save the dramatics...we aren't trying to win an Oscar over here....the Cadets are and will continue to be a great corps...this year....they had a GREAT show....and are continuing to make their push...good bye BLOO in madison....

fair enough...

you really believe bloo can hold them off? if that is what you think...pass over what you are smoking!

why does everyone have such a lack of faith in the Cadets and this new found belief in BLOO...seriously, the Cadets are not going to be passed by them again....they just cut their spread by A LOT...does anyone else see this....

well, the cadets did what they needed to do, if those in fact are the right scores....they are going to surpass bloo easily in madison...they narrowed the gap to this...which means it is over for bloo....Hoppy is I'm sure delighted that his corps did this, which means his 92.9 is looking pretty good for Friday, if not tomorrow....which I shall be in attendance at!!!

i concur!

you wouldn't have either in those conditions...i apologize, but heck 88 degrees at 1030 PM...and right now it is 85 at 1225...and you've been baking all day.....and you know traffic will be bad as you see the crowds begin to leave...I just booked to my car and got the "#### out of dodge."

I was there as well....the show was amazing...a lot of energy...great corps...power outage only in the beginning but like "phillygwm" said most people, including myself, left before they announced the scores...traffic was terrible....worse than the Eastern Classic last year...hopefully this weekend isn't too bad....

to each their own...

I get your point...but if they had a stronger show, I wouldn't be upset, but with the show they have and seeing that the improving dept is near to be extinct, I really think if the judges do that to "add some spice" it would a grave mistake and an insult to the Cadets and even to Bloo too!

well if that is the case...the Cadets will win in Madison because I'm sure Hoppy has had that dream at least once in the season! I don't think it will happen, but I do think they can overpower BLOO

on what basis do you have that George Hopkins is being told scores before his corps even steps on the field?

I have seen SCV and Cadets at Atlanta...and it is true...SCV is doing great, but the Cadets are just fundamentally better...in marching, in execution, even with intonation...I think the Cadets will remain above SCV...Tonight the Cadets should pass BLOO, hopefully, if not really really really close

??? be serious!

and just a quick point...two homeshows for the Cadets....this is their turf...more fans for them....

ok, first off, i never said it didn't...but BLOO, Cavies, BD, Phantom have been taking in the crowd for much of the season...the Cadets, on the other hand, have been dealing with ridicule, verbal abuse, hate mail, and "boo"ing from the crowd for much of the season....THUS...these past few shows with them getting the crowd's approval has made them play better...i have seen most of their shows and these past shows they are starting to get in gear!
