George Dixon Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 So - Cadets have six days OFF New ending coming!!! What else in the program do you think they should work on? I feel some guard re-staging is needed - too cluttered down in the front of the field (weapons work) Also - some work needed on cleaning out musically (and especially electronically) around the drum features in Movement 2 as well as The Waltz - drums getting swallowed up too much IMO CADETS HAVE NO SHOW FOR 6 DAYS ------------------------------------------------------------------ Monday, July 6th 1:30 AM arrive at Hopewell Valley 8:00 AM Breakfast 9:00 AM the day 9:15 AM S and R 10:00 AM Visual Block 1:30 PM Lunch and Pack 2:45 PM Head to NYC 4:30 PM Arrive in NYC -- let loose 10:15 PM Butts in Seat 10:30 PM Buses head back to Pennington, NJ 12:30 AM back go to sleep Tuesday, July 7th 8:00 AM wake 9:00 AM the day 9:30 AM s and R 10:15 AM visual block 1:15 PM Lunch 2:00 PM Sectionals 5:00 PM snack 5:30 PM ensemble 7:30 PM Done … pack 9:15 PM to laundry 12:30 AM Buses head to Somerset, PA 6:00 arrive in somerset, pa Wednesday, July 8th 6:00 AM arrive in somerset 9:00 AM Breakfast 10:00 AM the day 10:15 AM S and R 11:00 AM Visual Block 2:15 PM lunch 3:00 PM Sectionals 6:00 PM Snack 6:30 PM Set up 7:00 PM ensemble 9:00 PM Dinner 10:45 PM to Chicago Heights --- 515 miles Thursday, July 9th Chicago Heights 8:00 AM Arrive ..

RedJazz1900 Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 What does "the day" mean on their schedule? Do they talk through the day with the full corps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Dixon Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 yes they will quickly gather and communicate the goals for "the day" that's when they go "to work" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FTNK Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 Won brass without Wayne Dillon btw. Wayne gave them 3rd in music analysis, which seems to put the conspiracies to rest... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrumManTx Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 6 days off for this corps after being RAZOR thin behind BD last night.................this is gonna be fun. Hope the changes are done well and they clean the visual package which kept them behind BD the past two shows. Do those and there is a big chance for them to be on top next weekend. After Gillette I'm super impressed, front 5 minutes are Gold, ballad is right there, and the rest I have a feeling is already planned. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaddyt Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 Maybe someone closer to the organization can shed some light on this... Has the corps started learning the new ending at this point and is just waiting on refining and cleaning it this week? Or are they literally learning everything on the fly this week?

Hop posted a FB vid of the hornline standing still playing what seems to be the real ending. So I guess they already know the music well, just maybe not the drill. Unsure about drums.
