Popular Post onceuponatime Posted June 27, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted June 27, 2017 Please excuse my intrusion into the world of DCP, where I seldom visit or post. I am a Cadet Alumnus, and have been for many, many years. For that reason I seldom see The Cadets as others see them. It is with great joy at this moment though to read all the positive comments on the 2017 Cadets. Thank you. I too think they are wonderful. I always do, but this year is something more than just wonderful. To The Cadets, their staff who have also proved to be amazing, and to the show they have brought to the field and given life...I am very, very proud. We never know what awaits us at the end of the road, but when you manage to bring so much magic to the journey, you have already succeeded. FHNSAB...

Dave Shaw I hope George Hopkins rethinks how he treated your Cadets commentary, older pictures on Facebook, Dave. I thought your daily commentary there were almost universally complimentary to your Cadets, and also were totally harmless to the Cadets in every way imaginable. I thoroughly enjoyed that daily commentary you provided as well as the wonderful Cadets pictures and wonderful Cadets stories you shared with us there.

Dave Shaw Great post, glad you came by to spread your feelings. I also want to say that I love all the old pictures and support you show for the corps on Facebook. You post some great comments on a friend of mine's (current member) profile and in the comments. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cadets are not really good with that. Leave the props stationary. They don't move windows around in a church do they? Probably just spreading them out to make them more asthetically pleasing.

Understood, but it looks to me that they serve the primary purpose of being a "dressing room" and secondary purpose of being the backdrop for the show. And it also seems that they're in the position they're in based on what is written in the drill. They'd probably have to rewrite a section of drill if they were to spread them out. I'm sure it's not impossible, as I think of 1996 as an example. But I don't think they really need to be moved. I'm sure they'll figure it out.

Maybe they're using that previous backfield position where they were for new drill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like you got your wish. They changed the spacing of the windows. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
