Ghost Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 I heard the clip of Shosty. They sound pretty good. I'm reserving my excitement for June though. Then, we both can log off the internet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kdaddy Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 (edited) Cadets and Shostakovich will take some getting used to, but I'm loving the arrangements so far. Edited December 22, 2014 by kdaddy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2000Cadet Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 Wouldn't go so far as to say that they have a nice and warm sound just yet. They do sound quite good for a training camp recording though. Exactly. Though I certainly understand the excitement, let's not get all hyped up way too early as previous seaons have taught us.

jwillis35 Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 Many thanks to the Cadets for posting those recordings. It's like a little drum corps Christmas for this special time of the year, and I appreciate YEA and Cadets for their constant contributions to the fans during the off-season. This has been going on for years now and it's most appreciated by fans, I think. And it hasn't hurt the corps any as well. As for the content of the video/music -- I LOVE it! Musically this will remind me of their 2010 show where they featured a lot of great classical music (Procession of the Nobles, Dance of the Tumblers, Barber, etc.). That was a great book, too, but the show never quite materialized the way they wanted. Last year's music was also wonderful, but more traditional Cadets from the 1980s and 90s with American music. My only caveat from last year's show was their closing minute. Never quite what they wanted, I imagine. I might even say that the 1920s jazz tune was perhaps not the strongest material for field. Otherwise, that's a nice show to listen to. Shostakovich is a nice departure for The Cadets. Amazing Russian music, and the comparisons with Phantom Regiment will be obvious. But this style of music really allows the Cadets to add the demand and flash (along with good content) so needed for a modern drum corps show. I also sense that Bocook has watched closely as Carolina Crown has developed that beastly brass line, and with that killer book they played last year I believe Cadets want to climb into the ring as well. The music will certainly be fun to listen to, and the Cadets always have killer talent. It all comes down to show design. The new year is almost upon us. :-) 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crownisking Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 Something tells me this will be one of my favorites from The Cadets. I'm loving the Allegro arrangement. Very very tasty. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
