Come out dirty because the show is ambitious as all get out, then clean up the last few weeks and pass teams left and right. 2009 - Beat Crown last show before Prelims. Lost to Crown all Finals Week 2010 - Beat Crown last show before Prelims. Lost to Crown all Finals Week 2011 - That worked! 2012 - Beat Phantom last show before Prelims. Lost to Phantom all Finals Week 2013 - Beat Crown last show before Prelims. Lost to Crown all Finals Week 2014 - Dropped a spot to Bluecoats Finals Night 2015 - Dropped 2 spots Semi-Finals night (stayed the same Finals). 2016 - Dropped a spot to Cavaliers Semi-Finals night (stayed the same Finals). 2017 - (Flame suit on).....feeling dejected during a time when Cadets once owned the month of August. What's so disappointing is the Cadets have not learned from their design mistakes the last few years and we keep losing our talented staff to other corps. I will remain a true Cadet fan giving of my time and money but something has to be done to stop this bleeding. Fan of the Arts 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exitmusic Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 When management has to tell the workers to "trust the process," the process sucks 100% of the time. It's time for the alumni to actually get off of our ##### and do something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ray King was Cadets' DM in the early 90's, Roger Floreska, also a horn alum from the late 80's-mid 90's, has been on the BoD many years and has deep ties with the Lincoln Center music crowd; Dirk Bernold and Michael Chernow also go back many years. However, Dr. Ed DiCarlo, Hopkins shadow for about a dozen years,,is more Hopkin's friend than a drum corps expert; in fact GH rooms with him when in NYC overnight. The other names come and go as GH appoints. Edited August 7, 2017 by xandandl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a good show there's just several other good corps in front of them I agree. But they've made some changes in the last few days that I wish they hadn't. I wish they'd trust the process for real instead of just talking about it AND CLEAN! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ndrudy2013 Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 This show is better live but it really lacks excitement until the very end, they need to build some kind of excitement to draw the crowd in before the ending. Also, you kinda forget about the Cadets after you see the corps in front of them, especially the top 4 and then you realize how far Cadets are behind them. It's kind of sad to see, but it's the reality of the state of the Cadets today. I hope they can change it around sooner than later, see you in Indy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alums, and other influential people, have done something... gone elsewhere. It sounds like there is a brick ceiling at the GH Cadets that only allows others limited influence over the product. Resisting change comes with pain... GH is resisting the inevitable, and pain is being felt across the extended family. Fortunately, it sounds like the current MMs are the most isolated from feeling it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
