ajlisko Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 How so? :blink:/> I think he was referring to the lyrics in "At The End Of The Day" from Les Mis ... At the end of the day you're another day older And that's all you can say for the life of the poor It's a struggle, it's a war. And there's nothing that anyone's giving One more day, standing about, what is it for? One day less to be living. At the end of the day you're another day colder And the shirt on your back doesn't keep out the chill And the righteous hurry past They don't hear the little ones crying And the winter is coming on fast, ready to kill One day nearer to dying! At the end of the day there's another day dawning And the sun in the morning is waiting to rise Like the waves crash on the sand Like a storm that'll break any second There's a hunger in the land There's a reckoning still to be reckoned And there's gonna be hell to pay At the end of the day!

VOReason Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 Seems like as good a choice as any I guess. Now if they would just let that young, 50+ member horn line play! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LegalEagle50 Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 Andy, I hope you are correct. My first thought was here we go again with the C2 bashing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajlisko Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 Andy, I hope you are correct. My first thought was here we go again with the C2 bashing. C2 was most refreshing last year ... I didn't see any harsh bashing ... I sensed anxiety and speculation prior to the season ... but, once things settled in, there seemed to be respect for what they accomplished in their first year of competition ... I think it was all good ... :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was kinda hoping that after last year, the Cadets parent organization would let C2 forge their own identity. It is certainly not easy, if even possible, for a "weekend only" corps to essentially perform a verbatim Cadet rehash, right down to the uniforms, and not be the worse for comparison. Give these kids the chance to present a uniquely "theirs" program. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Ream Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 I think it's great. I just hope people do not unrealisitcally compare it to 89. A) you can't top that and B) this is weekend only 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N.E. Brigand Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 Surprised on checking CorpsReps to find that the first corps to perform selections from Les Mis was Blue Stars in 1987. I did not know that. Not a whole Les Mis show, though; nor was Boston Crusaders the following year. Sunrisers placed 6th with a score of 90.4 playing Les Mis in 1996, I see. Les CadetsDeux bested both that score and placement in their debut year, so I guess they should be aiming to do better than '89 Cadets? That was 5th and 95.6, which is the second-highest score for a 5th place corps in DCI (only recently surpassed by SCV's "Ballet for Martha"). In DCA, no 5th place corps, and only one 4th place corps (I think) has ever scored that well. A high bar. (Or as Jeff says, they and we should be wary of comparisons with the past.)
