Tommeee Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 I'm sitting here in Allentown watching Cadets rehearsal, and I literally CANNOT believe how great this sounds and looks!! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah they be good. I can't wait until the rest of the DCI world gets to see the program in a couple weeks once the end is on, its cleaner and all the corps are together. I strongly believe Bluecoats and Cadets have the 2 "shows of the year" 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I strongly believe Bluecoats and Cadets have the 2 "shows of the year" I can't say that I disagree with you...I say that not having seen BD and SCV live, but this Cadets show is more a CADETS show than I've seen in the last couple of years. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their show is spectacular. They have a real shot at winning it all, IMO. BD's off the line is off the hook. I am certain they will be right up there too...the 1/2 half of their show needs work IMO, but one would be a fool to ever count out BD. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZachDrumCorps Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 Are there any recent videos? The last I've seen of the Cadets was almost a week ago Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcsnare93 Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 (edited) Just finished watching the video from the Pittsburgh performance last night... The show has really started to solidify. It's obvious they have a vision in mind and know where they're going. That guard is impressive, and it's hard to take your eyes off them. Most improved caption from last season. I was on the fence with the choir before, but it works and is a clever use of voice. Hauntingly beautiful at certain points. Not crazy about the use of, or rather lack of use of, the stained glass windows -- it seems like a missed opportunity there (but that may just be my Catholic upbringing coming out). Maybe that'll change? Anyway, they've improved much in a short amount of time. Look forward to seeing them live!

Where they are up front - the exchanges, flag work and rifle work - all so good. My only criticism is the narration. I feel it doesn't add to the show. The choir I love. The only other time I have liked vocals in drum corps was 2013 Crown (not the ballad - God forbid, the opener). Lovely colors in this show too. I have to say I have never been so wrong about a show in my life. I thought for certain they were doomed based on the preseason videos I saw. Not the case at all, fortunately. I have watched this show far more than any other show this season - just beautiful. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
