corpsband Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 40% of the USA population lives within a days drive of Cadets camps - one of the strengths they have built in yeah they're a little unique in that sense. i'm not suggesting the corps membership is local -- hardly. but all you need to do is plot the first camp attendees on a map to see that regional base. im sure other corps have different ratios of regional vs national. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IOW, college kids approaching age out are far less likely to care about distance versus marching with a compeititve corps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sometimes think they put too much out there. Opinions can be formulated before the season even starts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xandandl Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 (edited) Wish they would keep stuff more guarded. I sometimes think they put too much out there. Opinions can be formulated before the season even starts. the one next week is meant to entice someone to audition. Who knows what numbers will be after the staff changes and after the Election. I agree that last year was over the top with insufficient product to match the hype. I prefer the approach to show announcements taken by Bluecoats and Crown. One never has to take back words never said. Edited October 13, 2016 by xandandl 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
