jwillis35 Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 Wow, that last video of Cadets last night is really good. Opener is just non-stop, straight-up drum corps with speed, power, and nice musicality. The ballad is coming along. I was very impressed with the Waltz, which seems to be coming along. Percussion sounds fantastic, as do the french horns. Kind of wish they could use the French Horns a bit more, perhaps a continuation to their feature after they get off the props. Closer looks like it's coming along. Still time to clean and add more drill before Indy. This show will score well, I have no doubt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Dixon Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 The waltz has great potential and has really gotten better since our last chance to view it. Might end up being my favorite section of the show. I'm still not sold on the synth break in the opener, I guess it's supposed to be a flag feature? Just really interrupts things musically Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cf144 Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 All I can say is - Holy ######! I love what I'm seeing so far. Cadets have always been either all in or all out for me - either I love the show or hate it. Not much in-between. This one is definitely in the "love" column.

Tobias Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 The battery is fine.. Two tenors have a stomach bug, a third is abiut to be added to drill, that individual is the replacement tenor and marched 13. Bass player also almost back in.Thanks George.

Like listening to an old victrola. The front and back of the show are more traditional drum corps with the ballad and Waltz more WGI ish adding a different dimension of effects. The break at the end of opener, I agree is to add a cool guard feature. Let's just agree that is a work in progress. Show is a monster.

TroopAlum12 Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 How much longer are the Cadets in Ada? Not very. They'll be in Indianapolis for a show by this coming Wednesday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My hope is that they have some planned additions later on in the season which will feature them more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaddyt Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 From George's facebook page, with the comment "And the plot thickens"......... Are these to cover the props, or are they my worst fears realized? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
