  1. No word on if they aim to be out for 2025? Vanguard had/has bingo to earn money whilst they were off in 2023 but what does Cadet’s have? Will they be putting place a plan to secure the future from 2025 and beyond or is this it for Cadets? 😞
  2. An alternative view: Maybe they have $600k in the bank AFTER accounting for staff fees etc. What about the additional revenue they are going to generate (via bingo etc.) from now til August?
  3. Can we get back on topic! Staff changes...
  4. i've updated the initial post, will do that with all confirmed staff changes
  5. I’d love them explore one thing and make complete style change and a risk e.g how about doing Hamilton?
  6. You might be right (I hope not) but it’s not over until they announce their intentions.
  7. I feel that Troopers guard writing, staging and technique were all issues. They need to take a good look at all aspects of their guard program.
  8. Changes that are confirmed: Madison Scouts - program coordinator and drill writer out. Pyro Lugo-Allen out of Blue Knights Lisa Tatum out as The Academy BCH I know we won’t know any changes until September but what would you like to see happen? I’ll start…. - Troopers need to find a top notch guard designer - Madison needs to have a big design rethink - Blue Stars need to think carefully about lessons learned in 2023 but I hope they keep all staff -I really hope Cadets hang onto all their design staff- they are on to something with this years design (just ramp it all up for 2024!) - and of course I hope Vanguard make it out with all their current staff Your thoughts?
  9. I have total respect for what BD do and they are/will be the deserved winners tonight (based on the judging system). Their kids are amazing. I often wonder if experts from outside the activity were watching (theatre directors, choreographers, brass band experts, drummers etc) who would they place first? BD has the best show for the current judging system but some of the things they do (eg transitions between pieces) are just not my cup of tea and they don’t emotionally involve me like others do.
  10. and this is probably why they will stay ahead of Blue Stars. They can place no lower than 12th (not 17th) and therefore the spread will likely narrow between them in 12th and whoever is 11th in guard. Troopers need a better designed guard book and mostly they need to work on technique in the guard
  11. They have to catch Blue Stars before they catch Colts lol
  12. One of the other top 4 would have to have a “run for the ages” (eg Phantom 2008) to have any chance of toppling BD
  13. They were much better yesterday. The guard with no wind was much improved. Hoping the can hold off Troopers and find some extra gas in the tank to reclaim 9th!
  14. How about moving DCI to Asia or Europe for one year and see how many US corps attend LOL!
