Tobias Posted August 9, 2016 Author Share Posted August 9, 2016 One question I have is if Cadets are strong in music, why isn't that influencing the GE numbers more? I get the visual but part of GE is music. They play a very difficult book extremely well. All of GE isn't visual... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Dixon Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 Cadets 2017 - 30th anniversary of 1987. Just sayin' Who's up for some Copland? Announce it early and a billion kids would try out. Current marching members weren't even alive when Cadets did Appalachian Spring the first time Bring back the sunrise in the east, sunset in the west start and finish as well as the dissolving company front - rest all new Marc is back in the fold to write the crazy whiplash drill and all new integrated staging for the guard Score it real close the original with modern percussion via Colin - and... they have the guard to bring it to life now! Back in the M&G for this one! I'd be down with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been obvious for a few seasons since they did the GE 1, GE 2 bit This year that's hurting Crown and Cadets IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

George H, if you are reading, please get this back on the table to address. Music should be as important as visual. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crown should be winning by a point and Cadets albeit 4th should be 1.5 pt from top, not 3 points. These spreads are so artificially bloated. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

George Dixon Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 Ugh please no. A little context or rationale? It's been 30 years a modern treatment by the cadets would rock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonwoody Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 As my dad used to say" Never go back always move forward". Cadets need NEW B&G modernized uniforms and do something new and exciting. Since Marc is back anything is possible but no reruns please. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm usually for the "always go forward" but after the past 4 years I could use a little "tried and true" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
