  3. Just sent you an email...let me know either way....thanks.
  4. 10 pages of drill (complete show) and blown speakers……… Still have some chairs and mirrors for sale. email: whosyourdada@bluedevils.org Corps hat, head included……email: hatwithhead@phantom.org Btw,I loved BD's show.
  5. Great review......this reviewer really nailed it. Some quick thoughts: I couldn't believe how prepared the Buccaneers were. All sections were strong, confident and sold the show. I'm curious to see how the Cadets 2 will fare against this show. (Felt strange to write that). :-) For June, the Cabs were very well prepared , just not as prepared as the Buccs. This would have been a running start for a Championship year for the Cabs during any other era, but the Bucs are really pushing the "readiness" level for corps. The Cab show is true to their entertainment tradition so it's just a matter of how well they can clean and tweak it. They were my wife's favorite. That said, I think the Cabs are still in the game to grab the title. It's just a matter of how hungry they are and how much ground they can catch up on. Fusion's brass were hot and entertaining with great feet and body.....but I don't remember the drill being too demanding. Their brass line certainly could certainly make a run for a brass trophy. Gold and Fusion were great examples of smaller corps with good quality programs and well rounded ensembles/sections but because Gold's guard was so good, I had them slightly over Fusion. I know how much talent and experience there is in Windsor Regiment, so I was surprised how weak the show was. Perhaps the show is over ambitious and/or is written for September. They have a lot on their plate to get this show up and running but the members and staff have a lot of drum corps experience so I'm sure they will be working hard and adapting and it will be a lot different show in September.
  6. I'm very sorry for your loss. Looking forward to happier times like hearing your announcements at shows.
  7. I literally went back to edit my dates but you had already replied to my post(you are right..... I forgot 2007 and 2008 were in the traditional uniform). I don't consider the 2003 to 2004 (and especially 2005 and 2006) to be at all close to being the traditional uniform. You really need to take a better look at those years.
  8. You don't need anything in writing......Just look at the recent past starting from the first year the uniform was changed(2003). 5 out of the last 9 seasons (2003 to 2011) will have been performed in a costume and 4 out of the last 9 seasons were performed in the traditional West Point style uniforms. These year after year temporary changes are becoming not so temporary.
  9. Actually, the push to honor the uniform was started by a prominent alumnus.
  10. Earlier on in this thread, I posted the pic below. A fellow alumnus pointed me to a link that gives the story behind the pic. Here it is: The Story
  11. Maybe they don't have "...the same attachment to it that we do", because since 2003 until 2008 (6 seasons), the uniform has been so played with and adulterated like no other time in its history. Edit: I originally wrote 2009 when it should have been 2008.
  12. I remember vividly how happy and excited I was the day I was sent into the uniform room to try on uniform jackets as I was being fitted for my entire uniform. It was a dream come true and an honor to put on that traditional Cadets uniform. I also remember being at a show in 1984 and all the respect I had for my friend after seeing him in his Garfield Cadets uniform. I am very surprised by your statement that "It appears to me that the younger Alumni do not have the same attachment to the uniform that some of us do from "back in the day"". If that is true, that is sad.

  14. The DM's wore either maroon or gold cummerbunds and cross belts. Here is a pic from 1954. 1954 pic
  15. The DM's wore either maroon or gold cummerbunds even back in the day. See here
  16. The Inspiration: Some of America's Best and Brightest:
  17. What is the image of The Cadets? "The Cadets is one of the most honored drum corps in history and it needs to recreate its brand to be more in line with the current image of the corps. What is the image of The Cadets? It is an image of tradition and excellence that has not changed since the corps’ formation 75 years ago. Unlike the iterations of logos that have represented The Cadets, there is only one image that has stayed consistent. The image of the corps – its visual appearance – is defined by its uniform. The Cadets uniforms are the defining visual image of the corps. The maroon and gold West Point style uniforms are immediately recognizable like no other in the drum corps activity. The logo design graphically represents the image and ideals of The Cadets in a couple ways. The main element of the logo is an abstraction of a piece of uniform – the embroidery on the sleeves. Because of their repetition and orientation, the arrows connote the idea of dynamism, innovation, and forward thinking. Their boldness portrays power. A partial outline around the arrows represents the idea of being on the edge and pushing the boundaries, and assists the arrows in appearing more dynamic. It is also the letter C, for Cadets. Through these elements, the logo is also a nod to the logos of the past. The arrows are evolved from the logos of the Garfield Cadets and the Cadets of Bergen County, and the outline is a nod to the logos of Holy Name and most recently, the running man."
