With all due respect. The announcer said they now have the scores, so Marines. GET OUT OF THE WAY!!!
No one tells Marines to get out of the way.😂

Interesting, if the Cadets don't score 90 pts by Finals, will mark the first time since 1981. To be fair, that was before the scoring system changed. For those who don't know, the 1st place score would be around 90-94 pts prior to 1984. Cadets scored 94.4 when they won their first title in 1983 and then scored 98 the following year.
Cadets ‘84 was in the top three live performances I’ve ever seen.

Yeah well explain that to Crossmen and Phantom. They have competitive brass sections and didn’t have collisions in their closers and somehow were scored behind Cadets. That’s insulting.
I’ll go halfsies: I would have Crossmen ahead of Cadets but not Phantom Regiment.

Cadets really had some marching problems in the new ending. I’m assuming it wasn’t as noticeable on flo as it was in row 4. One kid went to a spot two people away, then he went in front of the brassline to get to his spot. JMO, the new ending wasn’t show ready.
Unfortunately The Cadets are having a tough year but after their off season issues it’s not surprising. I’m just glad they survived all that and will still make Finals. That to me is something to be proud of. Resilience is a good thing!

So they just ignored the brass?
No. The brass is awful. The percussion is keeping the Cadets in the top twelve all by themselves.

Their brass line is outstanding again. Is there still a brass component to General Effect? 😂

Cadets 7/8 in music analysis? I don’t get it.
The percussion part of the Cadets’ Musical Analysis score is higher than the brass component.

BD moved from 5th to 3rd from last week. SCV fell from 2nd to 4th. I don’t think brass is set.
The Cavaliers could finish third in brass in Indianapolis. That horn line hasn’t “peaked” yet.

That’s a great drum corps. I would never want to change any Vanguard policy because I didn’t march there. I DID march Cavaliers and we have no “mental anguish” over remaining all male.

False equivalence due to many reasons that I'm sure have been explained to you countless times.
This is a good move for Madison, and yes, the Cavaliers will be next. Whether it's next year or next decade, it will happen. You can avoid tons of unnecessary mental anguish if you just accept that and move on with your life.
Where did you march, Jeff?

Back at you! Teach your students well.

On that Madison scheduling issue.
It just does no good to put the burden of design on the proficiency of execution. Meaning, it is counterproductive to work the kids harder on the stuff that they are responsible for when the bulk of the problem lies in the stuff that they are not responsible for. It's especially no good to do this if/when the touring time table calls for sleep... or some retreat time.
Anyone that has marched can probably remember those days when the marching block rehearsal was horrific... inexplicably and indefensibley because the content numbers were low. That kind of behavior saps the morale in a hurry.
Madison needs to go back to the drawing board... not the proverbial weight room, or the lap track, or the basics block.
It is vital that the membership have the best experience possible and that all of their hard work be dedicated to real effectual goals (not compensation for missteps).
Thank you.
It’s not the performers. It’s what they are given to perform. While the Scouts’ program is infinitely better than it has been over the last few years, the degree of difficulty isn’t there. In other words, it’s too easy. This wrecks the music analysis score and there’s not a darn thing any of those young men in the field can do about it. I’m confident the staff will make the show harder and more competitive as the season progresses.

The Cavaliers are going to finish fourth at Finals.
