I like that the drill designer is fluent with staging and design and will add a fresh set of eyes to help the Cadets modernize while respecting their tradition as discussed the last night on the broadcast. 3. I like that we added John LeMire, Eric Babula and Philip to guard design team for a deeper level of writing. Eric did a great job with Cadets in 2014. (2nd at finals or 3rd). 4. I like that Tom is back who is very strong in ensemble effect via his writing and critical ear which helps overall design. Good answers and I agree on all counts. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaddyt Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 I'm out of the loop. Is Daryl Pemberton (sp?) writing the drill again this year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is probably the most overlooked item on the list. I mentioned it somewhere too. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not such a complex "theme" but I get what you're saying. It's familiar to me so sometimes maybe I assume to others as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I meant, they've extended the opportunity to another very qualified candidate. Edited February 20, 2017 by Tobias Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. Cadets new Visual Designer ( in Drum Corps anyway ) mostly worked with the DCA Corps primarily ( Reading Buccaneers for one ), before given the opportunity to write for the Cadets this season. I believe he also wrote the drill for Jersey Surf a few years ago, if I'm not mistaken. George Dixon would know better than me, however. But Pemberton is out at Cadets, re. drill writing.
