Guardsmen. Seems like every year!

A note from Denise B you would all be interested in... Thank you for your donation to The Cadets this year. As a non-profit performing arts organization that relies on in-person events, 2020 seemed almost impossible earlier this year. Yet, thanks to your generosity, we were able to not only continue to operate, but to use this year to lay a strong foundation for our organization for many, many years to come. Unlike many other corps, The Cadets have continued to hold regular rehearsals for our members throughout 2020, giving them a constant “normal” and a sense of purpose and camaraderie in a year filled with so much uncertainty and isolation. On the management level, our Board of Directors has used this year to set up strategic committees that meet regularly to help guide us forward in the areas of Health and Wellness, Equality and Inclusion, Performing Arts Education, Governance, and Finance. This holiday season, I wanted to say a personal think-you for your gift to our organization in 2020. We are so grateful, and we are actively working to steward all funds raised in the best way possible as we provide safe, enriching experiences for our young performers. We have a big announcement coming on Christmas Day, so I invite you to stay tuned for some exciting news from The 2021 Cadets. Wishing you and your loved ones a safe, healthy and joyous holiday season,

2021 NEWS! The Cadets will be performing LIVE for you this summer. Read more: https://cadets.org/summer-2021-dci-to-host-showcase-event... #dci2021 #cadets2021

DCP post for THE WIN!

Maybe after too?

Ooops. Sorry. You are right. Felix marched with Madonna and then later on during his age-out year, with Lady Gaga

I think he marched with Neil Pert.

ON THIS DAY IN HISTORY... On November 13th, Felix Unger was asked to remove himself from his place of residence. That request came from his wife. Deep down, he knew she was right; but he also knew that one day he would return to her. (cue theme music) LOL Sorry.... I had to.

2020 show hint? Go to the link in the photo and read about it. PS - TRICKKKKKKKKKK!!!!!!!!

https://cadets.org/virtualparade/ SUBMIT YOUR PHOTO OF YOU IN YOUR DRUM CORPS OR BAND UNIFORM AT THE LINK ABOVE. You might win a cool trophy and bragging rights, while helping The Cadets with a cool and unique fundraiser.

Add The Woodlands, Flower Mound, and Round Rock to your list. 6A State Finals are every other year (rotation for state finals here), but if Texas could come every year... BOA Finals would look very different. The programs here are wildly efficient and the kids here are trained and compete at a high level from MS through HS. UIL gets grief from time to time, but the system does create wonderful programs. My opinion based on... well... my opinion. 1. Texas 2. Indiana/OK 3. California 3. Florida 4. IL/MI/OH/KY DCI actually has a member survey that maps all of this our every year, along with out great info for them.

A large number of the corps continued learning, virtually, for months after March.

The only show Garfield lost in 1983 was Friday night.
