doyle079 Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 i saw cadets twice early season and hated the ending, then by the time finals came around, it was a respectable show. its as if they want all the crazy talk early then end up with a show thats something special Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetman1287 Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 (edited) I agree 200% with you. Cadets drill is always my favorite drill out of any corps, any year. Why? because it fits the music and it's crazy as hell, and when anything is difficult and handled with great precision, I'm always going to love it, the more difficult the better. I know many people don't agree with the "let's do something that's very difficult to wow people" philosophy, but when it's the Cadets, they do it great, and is why I love them.Their hornline takes the same approach as well, Bocook does an amazing job with their arrangements, the day he stops arranging for the Cadets is when I might NOT like their music. Agree with you for the most part, especially the part I bolded. Edited August 16, 2008 by jetman1287 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TealEuph7 Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 Seem like Cadets and Phantom both have insanely awesome endings although I definitely think that Cadets endings are far more difficult (tempo wise). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
general_tso_chicken53 Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 I sat through 95 percent of their show bummed and ANNOYED, and clapping politely (golf claps) I smiled BIG is as they were performing the last 45 seconds or so of their show, and by the end I was out of my seat cheering loudly and out of control the ending was AMAZING. lets hope they can do away with the annoying next year, and have a whole show that is out of control I'm rooting for you next year cadets! you deserve to be loved again (aww) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NR_Ohiobando Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 The Cavaliers used to do similar endings....though they're not as crazy anymore. (91 anybody?) Cadets definitely have my favorite drill nowadays, and the insane endings are one of the main reasons why. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FTNK Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 Actually, I measured my pulse after their show and it was 135 bpm. I think it's like a post-traumatic drill disorder thing, I get really worked up seeing my corps out there doing that crazy, dangerous stuff and have flashbacks to marching it myself. Jay Bocook took a few years off from arranging for Cadets in the early 2000s and it was ok... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
salad315 Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 Jay Bocook took a few years off from arranging for Cadets in the early 2000s and it was ok... hmm...I wish he had been there to arrange rocky point. The version the cadets did in 2003 was pretty bad.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do do crazy stuff like that, just while not playing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amjn Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 I'm a big fan of the 2003 Z-Pull. Classic. But 2007, 2000 and 1998 have to be some of my favorite. I LOVE watching/hearing the crowd react to the 1998 ending. 2007 is just insane and the guard work is amazing, I haven't really had a chance to see the ending from this year. I really ought to. I love the Cadets marching style and they fly in their endings. Always something to look forward to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2000Cadet Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 It's great to hear people voice so much appreciation for what the Cadets have put on the field as far as the endings of their shows are concerned. I know when I saw them in 1997 and saw that crazy drill at the end of the show, I was hooked. I knew I wanted to be apart of that. When we got that new ending drill to the show in 2000, I knew it was going to be tough, but I also knew it would be something that everyone would love. I am looking forward to seeing what they bring to the field next year because I am confident that they will bring the crowd back to their feet next year.
