AGREED

Herbert is the MAN!!

I got in, but it's showing me recaps of the corps - Currently on SCV, narrated by tweedle dum & dee

I understand the debates about the fiscal and age issues that the Cadets2 announcement has made, but I'm super excited for the Cadets2 on a more personal level. I just turned 18 this year and I live on the Eastern Shore of Maryland, which is a pretty rural place that is at least a few hours away from dci action. Next fall I'm going to a college that is an hour away, which is still at least 2.5 hours from the closest drum corps - the Cadets. (Raiders and Surf are ~3.5 hours according to GMaps.) I really want to march next year, but thanks to college work, fees, and gas money, I probably wouldn't have been able to. I got so freaking excited when I heard the Cadets2 would be a weekend-only corps with a low cost for marchers!! This is the perfect opportunity for me. I read nearly all of the posts on here (ok, I might've skimmed a couple), and now I feel like I have to contribute. Yes, living 4 hours away from the Raiders has stopped me previously from joining up, but half the travel time to the Cadets2 would be totally manageable. I would love any opportunity that I can get to march. I hope the Cadets2 pans out so that next year I can sign up!!

Hello! My name is Em and I'm from Maryland. I'm still young enough to march drum corps, but I haven't yet - I'm hopefully planning to do so next year! :) Unfortunately, I've been playing flute most of my life... But I picked up the baritone last year in preparation for next year. Hopefully I'll have worked hard enough with my marching and bari to at least join in on the Open Class fun - Or maybe the Cadets2!! :D
