Terri Schehr Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 Whenever I saw the Cadets in '06, I thought I was watching a themed furries convention at a drag show. Ok now that's funny! Laughing hard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terri Schehr Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 2008 is not my favorite. I call it the Sally Jesse Raphael show. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cadevilina Crown Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 2008 is not my favorite. I call it the Sally Jesse Raphael show.Only part I like about the show is the last 30 seconds or so of the drill. That's about it.And you can't have a conversation about bad Cadets shows without mentioning 2010. OMG, that show is arguably worse than 2006 and 2008. Thanks a lot, Little Geoffrey! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cappybara Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 Hopefully they won't do an "Alice in The Twilight Zone" part III. '05 and '06 were a visual and audio nightmare for the Cadets. Here I thought I was the only one who wasn't a huge fan of 2005. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeD Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 . They're a lighting rod. Goes with the territory. Hugh Mahon himself told me that in 2013. He was my Cadet director when I marched. Great guy, and a former Cadet DM. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommynev Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 I will post my notion about "Staff Merry-Go-Round" pertaining to the Cadets here, while I wish that a DCP Expert might begin a thread of confirmed 2017 staffs, just like the thread about show announcements. This past season was a fine one, and I think that 2017 just might be some sort of landmark year. Forty-five years in, I want as many corps to be wonderful as there are corps. Sometimes change hurts, sometimes it helps, but change is inevitable; whether in the creative realm, staff, or even organizational management. To all of that: Sal Salas is one of the legendary visual innovators in both WGI and DCI; here is why I think -- why I hope -- he can bring much to The Cadets in 2017. Most recently, when he began working with Santa Clara, he took a popular musical score that was also familiar to drum corps audiences and judges -- "Les Miserables;" matched a performance approach that the Vanguard brought to drum corps -- storytelling -- and then provided the corps with a grand visual scheme for the production ... to much acclaim! Of course it took a matching grand musical scheme to bring the success, which is where caption heads, designers, and instructors filled in the blanks. I posted earlier that I would love for The Cadets to break their own glass ceiling in 2017 -- Sondheim, "Company," I advocated; I could see another scenario that might work: Ask Mr. Salas to re-vision 1992's "To Tame The Perilous Skies," as one example, or even 2000's "We Are The Future," a production that has served as a precursor to much that is on the field today. Re-vision, reconnection, and a return for the once and future champion Cadets! No! Don't touch "To Tame the Perilous Skies". It's already perfect as is. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HockeyDad Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 Not exactly a public figure He isn't a politician or a Singer or an actor or some other type or celebrity, elected official etc JMO Really? He puts himself out there more than any other director x 10. You good people perpetuate it by posting about every sniffle and hangnail coming out of the organization (just look at this thread for an example). And then you bemoan the negativity? C'mon. If you want it to die down stop posting 10 times per day. But, I don't want you to stop posting. Just stop complaining about negative attention. Someone once said any attention is good. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sideways Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 Just watched 2006. Holy 5hit that's horrible hahaNo amount of alcohol helps either. Only thing that makes 2008 show slightly more palatable is Vesuvius as the closer. It makes no sense with the rest of that dumpster fire but I don't really care since as a stand alone piece it pretty much rocked the house. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
