The Cadets 2019


Recommended Posts

with this being the first year without the influence of a certain somebody, i can't help but be extremely excited for hopefully some fresh ideas, whether they be from a musical or a design standpoint! I hope that some details start to come out soon...this is really one of the worst times of year to be a drum corps fan.

Since GH was gone early this year, he didn't have much influence on this past years show.  If he did, it was minor, and probably changed for the better.

...he wasn't gone until April. That's the majority of the design season, and most camps.

IIRC, the new stuff after he left was revised lyrics for the singers, and an entirely new back half of the show.

yup. Having the entire planning process without interference will be a good thing.

Though some people loved the uniforms, others were less than thrilled, and the uniforms were ordered prior to someone’s departure. So there was one reminder. That being said, as someone who saw Cadets early in the last season and at Allentown and Indy, the changes throughout the season made sense and worked, which was a huge departure from the recent past, so how a complete season without the former director will be interesting to see.

Yup the uniforms were a love it or hate it type thing

thoae and the props and about six minutes of drill and music were with Hopkins in place

as were the guard uniforms, the decision to use a four person vocal ensemble

I’m very excited to see what the design staff comes up with knowing their creativity is unleashed.
