I noticed that the Broken Arrow Show had an additional charge of $6.00 per ticket for processing fee. That stadium holds 16,000 plus. Even if it is only 10,000, (and with this show it is usually more) that is $60,000 just for ticket processing fees. Who is making that dough?
Sorry, I just had to vent.

The stadium holds slightly under 12,000. I imagine no tickets are being sold for the backfield or end zones.

Just curious, is this the first time you've bought a ticket online to any kind of event?

I say that every time i see their ending, "oh a second company front ending. how many times have we seen an early season second company front ending be swapped out for some absurd drill by the end of the season?"
I can't wait.3 hours ago, KVG_DC said:Heh it told dad on my first watch. "That second front will end in a z pull by august."
I'm more interested what they'll do to build to it.Yep. Why else have the Kerouac narrator quote "On The Road" before the final push?
"We gotta go and never stop going 'till we get there, man.''
Maybe to honor the DCI 50th Anniversary, perhaps some sort of "Vectors" drill ending in a Z-Pull?

I guess the show theme was inspired by a ####### Volvo commercial? (Voiceover is the same?)

These are my top 5 in this order for ME personally
- Carolina Crown 2015 - Inferno
- The Cadets 2011 - Between Angels and Demons
- SCV 2013 - Les Miserables
- Blue Devils 2017 - Metamorph
- Boston Crusader 2000 - Red
The Cadets 2011 - Between Angels and Demons -- to be competitive these days.....
BUT WHERE ARE THE BIG ### PROPS?
WHY AREN'T THE MEMBERS RUNNING FROM THE LAST SET IN A SNAKE LINE TO THEIR NEW DOT?
WHY NO SQUAT POSING? NO ONE IS ROLLING AROUND ON THE TURF!
AND, ONLY TWO COSTUMES?????

CADETS ... are good. FREAKIN' GOOD!
A brass book that inherently (because of Jay Bocook's writing) checks all the boxes and the members sound more mature by the week. A lot more like a top 6 corps. That drum line is FIRE!!!! Drill that challenges the individuals listening environments for sure! I am tired of people playing in infinity arcs and following the leader for hours. So much harder to be ever changing your relationships to others physically and the demands in puts on you for listening... THEN... THEN!!!... add in all the simultaneous responsibilities the members have while marching AND playing?! Seriously.... no hype here... The Cadets look more like a Top 6 corps then they do a 7-12 corps. The members need to start to show up with some swag and be (as Donnie Vandoren would say) ... UNDENIABLE!
Now clean, water when needed (because not many do as much as you), and get your ending ready to reveal in ATL or Allentown!!!FYI The Cadets are skipping the DCI Southeastern Regional in Atlanta this season (so are Blue Knights, Crossmen, Colts, Pacific Crest, Troopers and Jersey Surf).
Probably a better use of time to devote the day to rehearsal!

DCI should change its slogan from "Marching Music's Major League" to "Gymnastics and Brass" because it's no longer about precision drill.
Just run from prop to prop to your dot! That's what the Bluecoats call innovation, baby!

wasn't a good run for Cadets, I didn't think so watching on Flo, scores confirm - they should clean and stop making constant little changes jmo
Yup. Score tonight was closer to Crossmen than BAC.

Is any of the alleged abuse physical? Or is this an account of verbally induced anxiety?

- Voiceover - If there is a way they can take out some of the narration that is not central to the story, it will showcase the music and marching more.
The show's "Rear View Mirror" theme is inspired by Jack Kerouac -- the "narration" is his prose

If mandarins and phantom competed we would have the top 10 roughly around 5-6 points from each other before fall off. You can say spreads and whatnot but across the country the spots are close
this doesn't reflect the open class scores from quincy, ma -- would put Spartans on top in open

I'm kinda shocked how traditional this show is. They look like a corps from the late 1990's to mid 2000.
Marching uniforms with shakos and plumes!

I switched over to high cam and rewound. Much better!

I'm SO glad Crown is doing Karl Jenkins' "Benedictus" from "The Armed Man." LOVE that piece, and it's SO right in Crown's wheelhouse. They totally did it justice.
I instantly recognized it from the 2019 Reading Buccaneers show (Dans Ma Chambre)

I grew up with the Cadets.
My wife and I have been Maroon and Gold Club Members for more years then we can remember.
That being said.
It does seem that the corps is abandoning any ties to its North Jersey roots.
The corps will be Ma. over the July Fourth weekend.
Then doing a show on July 6 in Delaware.
Yet, no show in North Jersey.
Seems like they could have found the time to do a show in Clifton.
There will be a drum corps show in North Jersey this summer.
The Hawthorne Caballeros are hosting a DCA show in Clifton on Saturday, July 9th.
https://www.hawthornecaballeros.org/2022/05/08/grandprix2022/
Competing: Hawthorne Caballeros, Reading Buccaneers, Fusion Core, Princeton Bushwackers, Connecticut Hurricanes, Northeastern Ohio Rogues Hollow Regiment
In Exhibition: Hawthorne Caballeros Alumni, New York Skyliners Alumni, Saints Brigade
