I would add with the last few seasons of horrific late season “design choices” behind us MAYBE Cadets will grow finals week this summer vs collapsing. JMO The Guard caption head spot is key. I’ve heard good rumors, but waiting for confirmation Mostly that won’t even matter, the problem we are aware of is gone and those most responsible for allowing it are gone Huge positive steps ... double post. Stinking Apple sometimes. Or DCP. Or my wifi. Me? couldn't possibly be me. Edited April 11, 2018 by garfield Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There still needs to be a bad guy to reign things in. You are right though about design panic and rewrites. But one has to also make the changes early on rather than spend a summer trying to prove a point that never gets made. A fine line for sure. Completely agree! I am so excited for these kids right now. This is going to be one of those special and memorable seasons for the MMs. Aside from any score or placement, they are going to be so well received by every crowd this summer. The new board will have a lot on their plate. It will not be a cake walk but, wow... the new board holding things together is going to create something each of these kids will remember for life. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It helps to have a clear understanding of what you're trying to portray well BEFORE the season starts. BD's a good example...I'd guess they already know what they want to do 2 years out, and by the time they get to it, things are solidified and the kids understand the program. Hell...just watch "Clash of the Corps" to see this in action...or any season of BD 360. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AS I said it could be just what was needed gas, to go far, the drive to overcome, the fight to prove naysayers wrong..Seems like a good formula from a corps that over many many decades has proved they can overcome and succeed.
