If you think that the Cadets hit every hit point with a toss, I'm curious what you think about Crown's guard? They toss far more than any other guard out there. As a guard person, I realize the challenges the Cadets guard have been given choreographically. They are doing much more intricate choreography than the Bluecoats which is why is the main reason they are dirtier.

What I am saying is......take the guard out of the show, what visually do you remember from the corps? Yes, they play well but what visually do you remember them doing??

Crown's guard IS their show........yes very good but truly they are the show. Not a lot of effect, if any, from the corps.

You are right. I am sure that more will be added. However, not sure I agree about rhythmic moments being rewarded. Crown guard is really not rhythmic moments. They are pure, well choreographed, well executed colorguard. Now, BD guard is a mixture of both IMO but I do not necessarily think that rhythmic movements alone are being rewarded. I think it will truly boil down to who creates the effects.

I agree that the guard still is dirty in moments. However, what those kids are being asked to do compared to what the Coats guard is being asked to do both choreographically as well as design wise is far more demanding. Not taking anything away from Coats guard, however, their book doesn't have nearly the meat that the Cadets guard book has nor do the Coats guard perform like the Cadets guard. That is where you will see the difference. The Cadets guard will get cleaner everyday. The Coats will eventually plateau, IMO.

No. They are shedding the marble costume for the nude "human" unitard.

John Mackey is attending tonight's show to watch the Cadets! Super cool!!

I'm honestly not sure even the members know exactly what happened with the chef. I asked my daughter today and she wasn't sure. I'm sure eventually we will get the true story. I think the point is that by putting it out there that "people being treated poorly" puts a black cloud on the Cadets as a whole, especially without an explanation or facts to back it up. That's what I took from it.

Just heard that the guard costume change will be happening tomorrow and not tonight. However the changes they have made will be in for this evening. Can't wait to hear about them!

My daughter said the 1 change MAY be in for tomorrow but the 2nd one isn't ready yet. I'm hoping it's in for tomorrow. It will definitely help.......

Could not agree more with this. Honestly, I am a firm believe that Cadets guard will be higher than you think when all is said and done. And Bloo's guard is good but are getting hyped way more than they should right now. Cadets writing is better and by August, they will be performing it better. There is still changes coming in the Cadets guard and as they continue to produce, they will truly be a great guard.

I didn't mean you did. Not a criticism at all. Just making an observation.
