Wonder if they'll end the show in a tilted cross but on side one...

Immediately thought of 2000 when you said "Chaos"

The whole first third of this suite is Sanctus, and it sounds incredible. But...that isn't one of the pieces Cadets are playing, right?

I think most have a hard time placing them above BD or Bloo, considering they have had virtually no staff turnover. Additionally, SCV now has Gaines....so watch out there. None of this really means anything, though, and I would not be surprised to see Crown get 1st or 2nd. But when making a list of predicted final results in May, it's all we have to go off of. It will be exciting! Just as it always is

All the elite corps are so talented, it typically comes down to staff and design. But I think it is a stretch to say "everyone" has been predicting Crown to fall. Most of what I have seen and heard has been very positive. Due to the staff changes, however, there is uncertainty and that is what is causing people to be more cautious when predicting. They very well could win it all....and they could also place around 5th. We won't know until we see something on the field.

The difference, however, is that MASS was originally composed to feature vocalists. In order to stay close to the intent of the music, a choir should be welcomed. I think it's a great idea Most corps in the past have included singing/vocalists just because they could, not necessarily because it was vital to the production

Is there going to be an official announcement out of Cadet's social media? Or on the website? I want to see a graphic or short video like other corps have done in order to get a glimpse of possible design. Need to over analyze the font and stuff

You sound like a child

Or maybe Bernstein's Symphony No. 2: Age of Anxiety. An overlooked piece and it would be fitting for our current environment. So much greatness to choose from this is exciting

Hoping for a modern rendition of On The Waterfront in one of the remaining 2 years

So we're expecting an announcement on Saturday?

Ahhhh Vesuvius. 2008. Played quite wonderfully. But had no business in a show about the pursuit of happiness

Not going to lie, I'm kinda excited that so many people seem to be counting out the Cadets. You look at the prediction thread and there's not much love (and understandably so...I get it). But it feels like the Cadets are an underdog, which is certainly different. Hope the members feel that too and use it as a source of energy. I think they will be hungry

And that's highly unlikely IMO. I predict Cadets and Crown will both be top 5. If Cadets move back up, someone has to come back down though. And I have no idea which corp that would be

Visual visual visual. It's been the Achilles heel the past couple of seasons. Fix it and they should be in medal contention. Music certainly doesn't seem to be the problem. I always seem to enjoy listening to the CD more than watching the DVD. Would love to see Cadets have a top 3 colorguard again. And clean feet please :)

Those at the camp, thoughts on the brass arranging? Sound good? Brass and guard are the captions I'm curious about. I feel pretty fine with how percussion will do

Completely disagree about 2007. Do you understand where the theme that year came from? "This I Believe" is an international organization that gets people to write and share essays about their beliefs and core values. The entire 2007 production was essentially the Cadets' submission. Narration was required. Take it away and the whole purpose of the show is lost. That program was one of the more complete concepts they've ever fielded, and they played the #### out of it. A monster show that should've won

The vocalists have control of the Cadets snapchat today. They sound so good

SCV 2013 Les Mis

It's almost May. Season starts in 8 weeks. So I'd hope so.

Oh true.

Yeah seriously. It's been "soon" or "in a couple weeks" for like almost 2 months now. Kinda annoying. But I guess it works because we've all been talking about it and creating speculation But now it's April. It's time. Give us SOMETHING. A title. Repertoire. A picture with hidden meaning. Anything.

How long was he at SCV? Cadets colorguard has kinda been their Achilles heel the past couple years. Would be awesome to see that caption competitive amongst the elite again

Cadets 2007. A monster show with no ballad
