chaddyt Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 Jeff won't work with GH. That ship has sailed. Interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tobias Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 (edited) Interesting.Only the ones that will tell GH to #### off would go back as long as he's there. Tom Aungst is one of them. Wishing the new crew all the best though. Still a great corps with potential! Edited September 14, 2016 by Tobias Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exitmusic Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 I don't know. I think sometimes it's just "pun of those dings." Nah, not this time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

auldschool Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 Give the Cadets design team an exciting, compelling concept to work with, they can do medalist work nine times out of 10traditional or non-traditional. Heck two designers were canned in Florida, how could DP or anyone else make that show competitive under those pressures? I give DP and anyone else who gutted through last season a pass. Medalist work with the designers they had I would agree. But this is essentially a brand new team. Even DP is still brand new and unproven. Aungst is back which will help. But with a new show coordinator, new arranger added to a proven drum guy and brand new pit arranger...you can't say that this is going to be anything but totally unpredictable.

Remember that great Cadet staff that's gone really have been inconsistent the past decade. Great talent, interference from GH perhaps but the innovation has been questionable after 2011. Obviously 2016 was a misfire but let's see what this mix of old, new, borrowed and blue bunch can create. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
20XXMM Posted September 15, 2016 Author Share Posted September 15, 2016 Not sure if anyone thought about it but this year's Cadets2 show was the last Cadets show where jay bocoock arranged the music and sacktig wrote the drill. :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously 2016 was a misfire but let's see what this mix of old, new, borrowed and blue bunch can create. I hear you. But the poster earlier referred to "The Cadets design team" and how with the right concept they can do great work. Well that design team is long gone. I do not know if any of the new designers have ever worked as a team together. And where is Sully? Did GH just bring him in this summer to fix his mess and then kick him to the curb? Or did I miss something and he's coming back...All that being said...these guys may come up with some brilliant work and I am looking forward to the show concept and music design. But Jeff Sacktig is a major loss as is Jay Bocook. It's pretty tough to replace HOF designers like that.

Yes, definitely the end of an era;and most suitably they went out with a win. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
