Where’s the 2024 thread? I kinda still wanted to discuss 2023, but it looks like you all have already moved on! The more I think about it, I believe 2023 might be my favorite Crown corps ever!

At least there’s a dedicated Cadets 2024 thread. There are already discussions about Crown next year, too. But they’re still in the 2023 thread!

Where is Pete Weber right now?

I really think the West Point uniforms during retreat was the most bada55 thing I saw all week! And considering the awesome week from all the corps, that’s really saying something!!

Cadets uniform during retreat!!!! YES!!!!!!!!!!

Devils have more moments where I shake my head in disbelief than any other corps. Unreal!

That Cadet performance was definitely their best of the year! Way to get it right at the end! I’m super happy!

THAT was the performance!!! Awesome!!!!

Major chills during both ballads tonight!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

TAKE IT tonight, Cadets!!!!! Be undeniable!

I’ve never missed an East show since 1990. Obviously, MANY memorable moments from all those years. But I have to say, that Bluecoats performance at Allentown yesterday is going to live in my memory forever! I was at their ensemble yesterday afternoon, but the show last night was at a whole new emotional level and REALLY connected!! Awesome. And that was from the very top row at J. Birney Crum, standing up against the press box (with Steve Rondinaro looking out the window behind me). What a great night!!

The poem and the voiceover says “priests in black gowns, making their rounds”. Metaphorically, they can mean LOTS of different things, though!

Always? That’s pretty specific language. A better way to say it is, “Allentown almost never gets rained out!”

Is she a corps member?? That would be cool!

Yes, the ending is changed. The staff are pleased with it and described it as “definitely better”, although I am honestly not sure WHAT is different, as I wasn’t familiar with the previous version enough to notice.
