Big and impactful props/staging... in your view what will we see when the 2019 Cadets take shape? Given the relative silence and the lack of a drip-drip (thankfully) from Cadets, it's hard to say. But I am hoping for a much more improved Cadets from last year. - While I hope we do see maroon and gold, I am hoping for a more modern approach to it, while keeping it classy. - I hope for an improved guard, especially since they have Adam Sage. - I hope for a much more improved hornline. - I want the battery to go out there and DESTROY. - Drill. While drill does not seem to be much of a focus nowadays, I believe Cadets can incorporate the past and the present in their drill design. - I REALLY just want to be wowed and want to SCREAM for Cadets again. Essentially, I just want Cadets to be better and more entertaining than they were last year. I am proud they were able to hold their own given all the crap they had to suffer last year, but it's time to move on and BE BETTER. I don't want to set extremely high expectations because I know, once you lose a figure who has been pretty much the face of the organization for 37 years, it's hard to get back to that competitive edge you've had for so long. However, I really believe they can be much better this year. Whatever happens, happens. I am just glad they have weathered the storm and are able to FOCUS on being spectacular again. I just want the cadets to be THE CADETS. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
