I realize Cadets are more than likely sticking with Bernstein again next year but with this style writing I would love to see them tackle Carmina Burana.

That would be lots of fun.

No more choirs.  Please.  

The Cadets are a very good drum corps with a terrific winning history and this year was daring but reached too far.  I do not like the part in Bernstein's Mass where the lyrics take the Lord's Name in vain and maybe the brass should have played that part instead of the choir singing the words.  The Cadets performed at a high level in 2017 but this is not where drum corps should be vectored.

There's no way the main Cadet's narrator guy isn't a member of his college's Young Republicans, lol. 

Probably upset that he missed the "torch march" last night.

I don't understand this criticism. It's not like they were trying to hold an actual Mass, or even trying to convert anyone.

It's a drum corps show based on musical theatre work.

Personally, I go to a drum corps competition to see a variety of shows.

Unfortunate you didn't like it, but different strokes and all...

I respect your point

Is it hot in here or is it just me?

Due to some acrimonious responses, the thread has been closed, but I highly recommend reading hostrauser's post from yesterday on what he calls "segmentation" in drum corps. Lots of valuable thoughts there that should have been the subject of more than just one day's discussion. (Let me stress now that it is a criticism of what's on the sheets, not of any particular corps.)
