drilltech1 Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 I wonder how close they are to finishing the show for Sunday's broadcast? Weather has been horrible in the tri-state area... Article on the corps' website admits that as of Friday they had completed 9 minutes of the show. They usually want 10 1/2-3/4 but usually have to trim down to 11. The bad weather is actually a blessing to help them understand the vulnerability and challenge the prop towers present since not all show weather conditions will be ideal or in a dome.

BRASSO Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 (edited) according to news released by the corps today (Saturday) online access of corps preview tomorrow, Sunday, June 9th, 2013 from Johnstown, PA is set to be at 7:30 p.m. Eastern Time Zone, of course. I give The Cadets credit for being one of the few DCI Corps that is not so secretive in the offseason and is willing to allow us fans a glimpse into their preseason. It seems pretty clear to me that such openness over the last several preseasons has not hurt them competitively in any manner whatsover. If anything, such openness has probably helped them.

Pete Freedman Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 I give The Cadets credit for being one of the few DCI Corps that is not so secretive in the offseason and is willing to allow us fans a glimpse into their preseason.

I find most shows need to grow on me a bit. So I would think the earlier I'm exposed to the material, the bigger a fan I'm likely to be by finals. That's hypothetical, of course. Also it's just good for the activity I think. More stuff for the fans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kdaddy Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 When was the last Cadets show (prior to this one, it seems) that didn't contain some whimsy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaddyt Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 When was the last Cadets show (prior to this one, it seems) that didn't contain some whimsy? I'd say 2011. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kdaddy Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 I'd say 2011. I'd say the pre-show antics of the demons were pretty whimsical. I guess my point was less literal - more often than not, Cadets tend to produce shows that have moments of "fun" in them. More literally, I can't remember a time when they didn't (perhaps 2008, but even then, some of the narration brought a chuckle whether it meant to or not).

oldbandguy Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 In Angels and Demons I thought the head angel could have released a dove instead of swatting the head demon in the knee, but I figured livestock is probably not allowed either. You are correct. Once before in DCI history either the Mandarins or the Blue Stars released birds at their finale. Not allowed now. I was thinking it was Skyriders that caused this rule???

I was getting so excited waiting for the video live from Johnstown and for news of the no-longer Cream from Ft. Mill, that I forgot to fact check. Sorry, I am doing my push-ups in between my laps.

If you go on Cadets FB, in the right hand column, friends of the Cadets, a young lady posted a clip of the performance through the end of ballad.
