DrumManTx Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 Is this the year Cascades makes a large jump in standings? What needs to change for them to make that jump? Seems like there has been a lot of staff changes in other corps, so there may be a few new ones to watch out for. 2017 - The Rise Of The Underdogs Just keep doing what they're doing. They're trending upward slowly but surely as are their shows, difficulty, and performance levels. No need for any big changes that I can see. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrumManTx Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 They have a ton of great videos on their Facebook page. Including this amazing mashup ballad from 2 years ago. Can't wait to see what they do in 2017. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoaDci Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 If theres any people still aged in (see what I did there), I believe they have spots in all sections. I havent heard anything in a week or so, but if you still want to march you can check and see if they have spots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCIat14 Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 I am VERY excited for this year's show! Can't help but feel the hype when reading things like this! The reaction for all of those who witnessed the sounds resonating through the gym was nothing short of emotional. Educational Director, Kyle Thompson says that, "...it will be the one of the most mature productions that this drum corps has put on the field in a long...long time." BOOYAH!! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They seem like a corps on the verge of a major breakthrough. They handled a show that was way more difficult than their 2015 incredibly well in 2016. Very very excited to see what they do.

The Seattle Cascades had a remarkable placement movement from 2000 to 2002. lest we forget too. They moved up 11 placement positions from 2000 (23rd ) to making Finals (12th ) 2 seasons later in 2002. ( topping BK. Madison, Crown. Colts, etc that season at Semi's) They increased their scoring by 17-19 points or so in that 2 year timeframe ( from 67.500 to the mid 80's ). Are they poised to make a similar placement improvement ? Time will tell. Edited February 14, 2017 by BRASSO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if I see it happening QUITE that fast just because of the increased quality of corps down well into the 20s but they've done the hard work of restructuring, rebranding, and taking time to gradually improve and grow in all facets of the drum corps and organization. I think they're at a point where they can take a shot and go for it and potentially have that season where they really come into their own. Them, Mandarins, Oregon Crusaders are all at that point where I think they are one really good show away from breaking well into the next tier. It'd sure be exciting to see some new faces in different groupings like what we saw with The Academy last year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously though, Cascades have been on a role and I cant express enough how excited I am. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
