I think the "Can they medal" discussion was always wildly optimistic

Don't tell that to Cadets just yet.

Except Crown 2015 didn't seem to stagnate. Cadets 2017 seem to be stagnating. They're taking years to put a cap on the bottle, they still are not correcting mistakes (or it seems like they aren't), and they are lacking consistency through each show. 

I think they really intended to get show done by last weekend (ending and fixing Father almighty, where they just have too much standing around doing nothing) and possibly would have been a bit closer competitively than they were. Lots of rain and BS set them back but they I think it's on the field now and have a few off days to work it. They still can clean up pretty good. Lots of the music issues (percussion) are not performance based but "choir is too loud" "I can't hear the pit", so lists of adjustments but not hearing negative show construction stuff, just "you're starting us in a journey and dumping us off before it ends" kinds of stuff. I'm keeping the faith because unlike last season, when I watch n listen to this show, I'm like "yes they're good!"

Do the uniforms fit well or not?

The uniforms fit for someone wearing three. It's just another thing for you to complain about.

Pot.  Kettle. This is at least your third negative post in two pages. Lead by example and move on. 

Funny how you always defend the constant complainers. I guess you have just one post convos with people here right?  Sorry to see you are still as intolerant as ever. Maybe the AARP forum is more suited to your liking. Have a nice 2017.

the picture just above looks like some of the new drill being practiced today - Hopkins in his FB post said they were putting it all onto the field and "together" today and then Wednesday/Thursday/Friday rehearsals and it makes it debut Saturday night was the plan. I'm assuming the show tomorrow night in ATL will be the final one with the old material

Be nice. I'm sure you'll be cranky when you're old like hockeydick too. I just try to be nice to everyone!

For anyone that's been around long enough, let them get the closer on the field and start cleaning.  No one cleans like the Cadets and the foundation of this year is light years ahead of 2016.  May not ending up a top tier (1-3) project but it ain't going to be a dumpster fire either.

I think that's correct. Let's see what the show is like once the ending is on - and they will clean it and take it as far as it carries them
