    Uh. Well as a non-religious person, I found the whole "LET US PRAY" and such narration to be a bit suffocating. I'd be content if they just made the choir have traditional background vocals that complement the hornline and axe the religious references in the narration considering there's plenty of those religious references already in the visual aspects of the show. 

    I agree. Suffocating is a really great way to put it.

    ...and they did so into the 80s and 90s to a lesser extent.

    A lot of bands don't want you to miss bandcamp, which is during finals week.

    A lot of teachers didn't want the attitude some people camp back with.

    Attitude is still a big problem with high schoolers that march now. I have to work very hard to keep my students grounded and sometimes that means bringing the reality hammer down upon them.

    When Was the LAST time THE CADETS started out this low ???

    Music was good. Brass and Percussion have good vehicles. . Drill is very dirty and not a good product. Guard is still middle of the pack .

    Cadets are usually known for being a very hard working corps . This product will have to have many changes for it to be in the top 6. Might Bang it out with CAVALIERS and possibly BLUE KNIGHTS all year. Not in same league as Bluecoats , Crown or probably Blue Devils and SCV .

    Ironically, in 2011 they started in 4th place. Then they went on to win the championship. This show is not nearly as strong of a vehicle as they had in 2011 though.

    It's really interesting that, at about the very time the Cavaliers were performing, the world got a big reminder that propaganda has consequences. The British prime minister, James Cameron, has just resigned because of it.

    In 2013, Cameron had promised that, if his party was reelected in 2015, that Britain would conduct a national referendum in 2016 on the question of their membership in the EU.

    Neither he nor the main party opposing him really wanted to leave the EU. He just said that to win.

    But yesterday, Britain voted to "Brexit". And Cameron has quit. Oops.

    In a further example of propaganda, the British tabloids had strongly pushed for an EU departure, and it appears that a number of people who voted "Leave" rather than "Remain" are now regretting that decision. I'm seeing a number of quotes from people who voted that way just to send a message but never thought their vote would mean anything.

    David Cameron.

    James Cameron directed Titanic and Avatar. LOL
