Will Cadets be wearing any headgear this season?

No, they just need to take into account the established standardized placement of field mics at Flo-covered events. It ain't too hard, folks.

Same here .. Sennheiser 650s through a Benchmark DAC. And yes, the sound sucks. Lots of ugly compression, etc.... but one would be ignorant to blame Flo for field vs electronics balance problems when Flo has no control on where corps place their stacks or what levels they crank them out at. C'mon, folks...

Not really. It's standardized to tall pickups on the 35s with a stereo pair on the 50, all just outside the pit "box".

You can't adjust field pickups differently for every corps. Logistically impossible. Each corps need to work their speaker stack setups to achieve BOTH field coverage and avoid bleed into the Flo mics, which have a standardized setup that EVERY corps could adjust to, if they would just pay attention.

Looks like gray is the color of the year in DCI...

No, vice versa. Flo took the field first

So many angry drum corps

Pretty sure Flo mic placement is standardized at all events ... mains on 35s and 50. Now if only corps would take that into account when designing where they place speaker stacks

Gawd, what ###### balance

"Run, rabbit, run" would have been a creepier choice

Well, this pre-show is taking an eternity

Surprising, knowing who the rights holder is. Anyway, good news.

Prepare to never get the synchronization license for that show.

Take it elsewhere

Star 90, no question. BD 88 for the honorable mention.

Yes, Cadets' props this year are a huge step up. 😏

Cadets just posted a short video on FB that starts with a shot of a snare drummer playing a drum with a new (i.e. not 2018) finish. It goes by quick, but looks like a maroon sparkle.

Is the corps still marching Dynasty percussion this year? I thought the company stopped producing equipment...
