2000Cadet Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 It is nice to listen to a show that has just powerful music without needing to research. I need to do some research. I'm not sure on what, but I need to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theCHEZman Posted July 7, 2013 Author Share Posted July 7, 2013 I need to do some research. I'm not sure on what, but I need to. Besides getting your face peeled off, what was your take on the Cadets? I know they put in alot of changes this week so they probably weren't as crisp as they have been, but whats your feel on the content, design?

I know they put in alot of changes this week so they probably weren't as crisp as they have been, but whats your feel on the content, design? Well the changes were better than what they originally came out with. For instance, the beginning they get to the hit in 4 counts (I think) instead of 6 and double-time it to the halt. The end of the opener, for the life of me I can't remember exactly what they did but I know it's not the same as what they came out with. The drum solo draws more of a crowd reaction, and the hold in medea before they retreat backfield changed a little musicwise. I think all the changes are a lot better though. but I'm sure they have more coming. I read on facebook they're learning 17 pages of drill today that will be in the show tonight.

whitedawn Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 I went to rehearsal on Saturday. It was very hot and the corps was very, very, very tired. The staff even ended ensemble a few minutes early, after giving many non-specific comments like "raise the performance level" and "sound great." It just felt like the whole organization was fatigued and needs a day without moving or rehearsing... not that this will happen. That said, they were ####### fantastic and the could definitely win if they fix the end of the show. It is weird to see a Cadet corps with no real "WOW" moments, but no real "WHAT?" weaknesses. I don't recall seeing it before. Also, they won the parking lot by 10 points or so. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drilltech1 Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 Heat, humidity, hydration, lack of sleep all begin to have their effects. Add show changes, small and major. Add proximity to meeting CC and BD for the first time. Interesting recipe for interesting week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drilltech1 Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 Chambersburg thread says 17 pages of drill changes to end of show and some transitions. My sources say more surprises to come. Will those towers be revealing of these??? Practice day at Western Carolina is not a random move I am sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's crazy to think they don't have any real weaknesses. Really great corps this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
