2000Cadet

Frankly, at this point, I really do not care. I am more concerned about whether or not the activity on which I grew up, the activity that made me the man I am, will survive. When the dust settles, what and/or whom will be left? This pandemic has forced me to rethink things that are important, and leave behind all the traditional thinking. I will learn to enjoy life more and savor the little things. I just hope drum corps will still be one of those things I'm able to enjoy.

Been a while since I posted on this forum. I remember 2000 like it was yesterday. and that Normal, IL show is the one I will remember the most. I also remember how those band kids were going bonkers less than a minute before the end of the opener. Honestly, I wasn't really a fan of our show until probably San Antonio. I didn't really think it was a "Cadets" show and I really didn't understand why the crowd loved it and how we were able to go undefeated until Cavies tied with us. Now, I am grateful to have marched 2000 given my horrible rookie year at Cadets in 1999. One of the guys who marched with us found Superfan and finally got all that precious rehearsal footage from the 90s and I cannot WAIT until he sends us footage from 2000. We beat Cavies at Normal.

Found this little gem:

So they ARE keeping 2020's show for 2021.

Why wouldn't they just keep the show they have this year and use it for next year?

I'll bite: I had Cornish Hen for dinner....and a gimlet.

What MORE information do you need? How many more questions do you need answered given that information has been presented on the DCI website, listed in this thread, listed in a thread created specifically for that topic, what's been going on in the entire freaking world?!?!?!?! OR ARE YOU LIVING ON ANOTHER PLANET?!?!?!

NO WONDER we get along so well. What was your rate?

I used to love my job. I now absolutely F_______g HATE it. I used to love drum corps. I am now debating walking away for good. I used to love this website. I am now sick of all the bad news. It may be time to walk away from it all.

Well, health is more important so since NBA, NHL and life in general is cancelled, DCI might as well do it too. I'll tell you this much. I'm __________ angry and can't wait until November (that's when I retire out the military, just so there's no confusion). That's all I'll say about that.

The plug was pulled? Cadets aren't competing this summer?

I heard from a very reliable, very trusted source that I'm going to work today. Fortunately, the metro will be empty.
