mfrontz Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 Glad this thread has regained some steam. I was starting to worry for a little bit that no one was interested in Cadets anymore. 200 pages by Easter? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's because Cadets hired some band guy. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xandandl Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 (edited) If you are one of the Cadet fans having problems connecting with their FB page via the link on the side of their web page, don't fret. While the problem awaits getting fixed, zip over to dci.org, click the corps tab, scroll down to The Cadets, and click the FB logo to the right of the corps' name (next to the Twitter logo.) Amazingly, the FB page for The Cadets pops up immediately. Adjusting to new design and drill staffs should be so easy. :-) Edited March 23, 2016 by xandandl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garfield Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 (edited) And a similar video, this time Pines of Appian Way https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nj8p3SDOFa8 Percussion only... I appreciate the links but, if you're going to listen to the drumline, you only need to watch this for now: (skip to about 1:10 to bypass pre-show) (And thanks, GD. This is so tasty it just rips my innards out. Can't WAIT to see this open the show. GOOSEBUMPS!) Edited March 23, 2016 by garfield 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eleran Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 It's getting serious now ... actually booked my hotel room at the Alexander in Indy for 4 nights in August. And purchased tickets for Thursday - Saturday. Luckily, my son is earning enough playing gigs this Easter weekend to pay for those tickets.

garfield Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 (edited) And this, The Borgese: OMG! Their stick control is just amazing! I gotta point this out because it's just amazing. Here's a lesson in "splits" that can only be seen if you pay close attention (or if you're a judge standing on the field in front of the line). Watch the snares from the beginning and you'll see the stick beads are all uniform, rising for accents at the same time and playing down close to the head at the same stick height. But when they come back in at the 1:20 mark things start to change. At 1:25 they "split" the sticking pattern so the stick beads rise and accent at different partials of the music. The easiest way to see it is to NOT focus on the sticks but, rather, stare at the face of the center snare and see the sticks in peripheral; you'll see the beads rising at different partials. Remember Crown '13 and the spinning pyramid? You had to watch it several times to get it? Yeah, this is like that. Watch this several times until you see it. There are those among us fans and gurus who believe that the drum judge should be removed from the field for "safety" sake. I contend that there's no way a judge would see this kind of quality and talent from the box. This, here, is some incredible writing and playing. Way to go, Cadets drumline. I am seriously impressed. Holy CRAP! Edited March 25, 2016 by garfield 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
