Jeff Ream Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 Cadets certainly pull in talent but you're correct. Never has been the top criteria for acceptance. trust me.... a guy i know was a not so hot 3rd sop, and he's on the cd cover. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2000Cadet Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 (edited) So I was literally on a NJ Transit train headed to The City from Newark this past weekend and I was looking over at that soccer stadium and said to myself that they should have a drum corps show in there. Looks like it was a prophecy: https://yea.org/programs/cadets/cadets/news/1476-the-cadets-home-shows-return-to-nj This is fantastic in my opinion. That stadium looks great and I hope the sound is as great as Talen. Edited December 29, 2016 by 2000Cadet 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These MLS stadiums really bring the crowds closer to the field, so the sound should be great, especially with the overhang to trap sound. Now, if the field crew can cut the grass a little shorter. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is actually ironic with me as well...I was just thinking about this place in September as being an awesome place to hold a drumcorps show...that obviously would be closer to my area...I am also very partial to absolutely loving talen energy...so I see this move as us northeast fans near NYC winning the daily double 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe as an alternate venue... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was there in 2007 where I got to yell "EUREKA" in the middle of Vanguard's show and everyone turned and stared at me. They may have had a show there in 2003 or 2004 as well. I remember seeing Capital Regiment perform in Crew Stadium. It's an awesome venue for a show. I would say in the top 5-10 places I've seen a show..and I have attended A LOT of shows. Great sight lines, great acoustics. Would love for them to put a show back in Crew Stadium. Z Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That stadium looks great and I hope the sound is as great as Talen. I spend time in the area quite often, and my main worry is space for the corps busses, trucks and warmup areas, plus audience parking. Plus, the stadium is on Frank E Rodgers Blvd South...that is the ONLY road in and out of the stadium. When there are soccer events at the stadium, not just the Red Devils, the entire town of Harrison gets tied up in knots. On the good side, Ferry St in Newark is 5 minutes away, with some GREAT Portugese Restaurants. . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok, went and check. 2006 Artistry in Motion at Columbus Crew's stadium. http://corpsreps.com/scores.cfm?view=scoreshow&showid=2006581 2009 http://corpsreps.com/scores.cfm?view=scoreshow&showid=2009062 (Then there were shows forever at the Old Cooper Stadium for like 20 years.) Quite a few years in Dublin (Columbus Suburb) too! I think the earliest one I remember was 1992 for Dublin. Yes, Mapfre stadium seems like a very excellent stadium for a drum corps show.

2000Cadet Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 Are there any examples of this new drill writer's drill anywhere? I'm curious to see his "credentials". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
