Drew, maybe instead of the trills... (Trills were in the ;90 version, yes?_ Always a work in progress. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am addicted to adrenaline rushes, hence my joining the military. Ahhh the glory days. Where did you get this? I wish I could see the drill from this show. Interesting to hear the judge still call them sopranos and contras. Wonder how long that stuck around among that community. It's not every day you get to hear a new recording of Cadets 2000 (this makes the fourth one I know of floating around, that I've been able to find over the past 12 years. Haven't been able to find quarters or semis either.) Best drum corps show. Would love to see them return to a show design like this for next year and see how it would do. Why not?

henry7184 Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 I'd be interesting to hear what the judges are saying, because I can't believe judges aren't advising them to lose the robes on the hornline. They should just stick with the maroon top and cream pants and leave it at that. The robes just make them look dirtier IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed and lose the officiant both are ineffective and unnecessary Those two things would dramatically improve effectiveness and audience appeal being screamed at to pray isn't appropriate or effective in a football stadium setting 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The narration does nothing to add to the show. I would just be really surprised in the judges weren't telling them that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's been corps in the past that have tried similar looks and I'm sure it affected visuals in a bad way. I can't figure out why Cadets would think it would work for them.
