Further cementing my impression that Madison is becoming less and less relevant in this activity. Proving that going along to get along is making them uninteresting and invisible. Becoming just another face in the crowd. I hope they prove me wrong once the season starts, but I have never been less excited this time of year. ☹️ The threads that have had the most responses this Spring are those involving the former director of the Cadets. I think attention is diverted this year. Perhaps where this is a long weekend and more people visited camps, you may see more responses this week, perhaps even tonight.

dcifanforlife Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 Attended Scouts rehearsal at Ben Davis High School tonight. With three weeks before their first show the Scouts are in great shape to start the season strong. I timed their final run through at 6 minutes and 10 seconds on field. The three musical pieces that they played flowed nicely. Probably only a percussion/visual feature and a closer to go. Now it is all about layering and execution, execution, execution. Scouts remain a top twelve corps. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We fans don't get much in the off season, or preseason from the Corps, so its great when fans are at practice can provide us their assessments after returning. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The uniform was read by the alumni as an honest attempt to go all in to improve placing. And subsequently failed miserably. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBadMadMan Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 I’m going to have to go back and look for specific examples of this, but I said that this year was a trial balloon for taking the corps coed and I was laughed at and told I was flat-out wrong. Turns out I was right, as that is an issue the admin is mulling right now. That will be a mistake, because it strips the corps of any unique value it has left. I’m sure @tesmusic is all for it and has his pom-pons in hand so he can play cheerleader, but this is why I don’t trust the leadership of the corps and think they need to be removed. I’ve just seen the product on the field and been distrustful of the direction. Just a gut thing. Nice to finally have my fears justified. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just trying get an idea what the 2018 musical vibe is going to be like from the Men from Mad... :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
