    I agree that 8th is most likely where they place, maybe 7th, but that's a long shot. I thought in Allentown they gave an enthusiastic performance, and they enjoyed performing it. I often use the pit as a gage for Cadets enthusiasm. Their faces and intensity can often tell a story, and they were fully engaged. Saturday night they loved what they were doing and according to a Cadet parent who stayed in the same hotel I did, they’ve tried to be excited about the show but it’s been challenging. Mid season had its challenges. 

    My only suggestion, which no drum corps has ever asked for and never will but I will anyway, is to turn “Do Better” into a drum solo without vocals. I understand why it is in the show, but when placement has been not what is hoped for, it does send a mixed message. Do you mean better as far as compassion and understanding which the show tries to inspire, or do you mean better as far as placement and performance are concerned?

    I would love it if they cut the vocals there.  It is hard to watch.

    I don’t think it will get interesting between SCV and Crown, although I’m biased. Don’t know what some of the judges were smoking last night.

    It is really going to come down to visual in my opinion.  I just feel like the SCV show is a little clutteresd and unfocused.  And other than percussion, SCV will lose the music captions to Crown.

  3. Honestly they really are missing a potentially big opportunity to focus the attention of the drum corps world on them in a positive way.  And even without performing here this year, they should really put something together for next year's Finals in Indy and in Allentown.  Celebrating the corps's history in a big way like that can help push it foward.  I just keep thinking of how huge the response was to SCV's alumni corps in Indy.  The Cadets deserve that kind of moment too.
