Cadet Guardy

A great night for drum corps! An incredible night for all guards!!! No wind, sun or heat and it’s amazing to see them all in their best element - they all understood the assignment and delivered.

Should win best guard, should beat BD. JFC!

Umm I think Phantom just solidified a 5th place spot. Wow.

JFC this has to be my top 3 fav this year - just stupid, stupid good.

I stand corrected when I said the Mandarins guard book was weak - a great book indeed with exceptional talent. Execution is 🔥

Let’s go Mandarins! @MandarinMom may she crush it!

I can’t comprehend how badly the guard was scored last night by J. Campbell - this is a good guard and should be outscoring Stars and Colts.

Your perspective is respectfully appreciated - I enjoy opposing commentary.

The judges don’t have a close up cam view like we do so from up top, the tan isn’t visible. Yellow? Yes. Orange? Sure. Tan? Can’t even see their tosses.

The brown rifles are completely lost in translation and need to be white, or another readable color. I don’t know much about brass but dam that seems to be a powerful horn line.

Same time and agreed! Great minds.

Fact: Troops guard is leaps and bounds better than last year.

WTF am I watching?! Crown is gooooooood!! What a difficult night to be a judge.

I’d put Bloo over BD - just my personal opinion. Guard had some timing issues with the platinum flag feature but the overall package is better than BD.

Is BD good? Of course they are. Another great production. My favorite unis ever but where…. where is the drill? Am I alone on this?

D**m good show! Bold decision with all white flags but improved guard. Hard to compare to Phantom but I think Mandarins will out-place them in the end. They deliver a d**m good drum corps show that seems fresh. Great drill and staging, great corps uni and props.

Please get it right - it was a “glitch” and intentional.. like part of the plan 😂🤦🏻‍♂️

Who knows where the guard judge will place them in comparison to BD but fact is they definitely have the most difficult book and should be rewarded for it - it’s almost unnatural. Btw, I noticed a Cadets nod with the rifles small leg catch.

This is the most talented Phantom guard they’ve ever had, ever.

Be nice. Members look at this forum. They are improved for sure.

You're awesome and thank you!

Youre a gem, thank you!

After a week of no Flo/drum corps due to unpredictable Beryl, I was so excited to see the show tonight and thought I was going crazy when it wouldn’t play 🤦🏻‍♂️ it’s sad to see this happen for Crown.

What did I miss? Tuned in now. Prepping the company I oversee here in Belize - looks like Beryl is headed right for us, here on the ground so this should be interesting.

BAC’s horn line sure makes a great guard for BD! Wait - it was BAC’s horn line performing dressed as BD’s guard, right?
