xandandl Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 I'd like to see the drum wrap match the platforms. (However, I recognize the Cadets' long tradition of both sparkle and fade finishes...) Mike I like your idea...but.... 1. the turf green of the platforms would look even worse in the close-up against the gold cummerbund and maroon top. 2. it would be accused of trying to match BD's letters. 3. more often than not, Cadets drums have been some sort of wood-looking stain.

hughesmr Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 Apparently you haven't seen some of the other drums this year or previous years. Um, apparently I have. My point is that the current finish looks (to me) like an attempt to match the maroon and gold palette, but is 'off' enough to really not work at all. If by this year you are talking about lines like Crossmen, BD, etc ... those wraps either DO match the uni design (e.g. Crossmen) or are so different that there really isn't a 'clash' to my eyes (e.g. BD).

hughesmr Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 Maybe they could continue the "10" theme by depicting a maxillary left lateral tooth (aka tooth #10) being avulsed. That'd be cool. Right! Or by coming out in Boston Crusaders uniforms. They were 10th last year.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently NOT. I don't see the issue in the first place. Cadets normally have drums that match the colors of their uniforms anyway. That they took a different color that doesn't match doesn't a terrible idea make. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hughesmr Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 Apparently NOT. I don't see the issue in the first place. IYO, of course. And it's not an issue. It's just drum corps. And a misfire. IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
