This is INCREDIBLY frustrating. 2 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
East9900 Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 (edited) While it is frustrating, I will say it's deserved. As much as it pains me to say this, this show is where it should be and the corps beating them deserve to be on top. The only silver lining is the farther they fall, perhaps the more of a wake up call it will be to make drastic changes next season.

Glenn426 Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 Is it too early to start the Cadets 2020 thread? Here is my wish list for Cadets design team 2020 Program Coordinator: Denise Bonfiglio Drill Writer: Jeff Sacktig Brass Arranger: Ryan George Percussion Caption: Tom Aungst Guard Caption Head: Rick Subel Front Ensemble: Neil Larrivee The powers that be should be trying to make things happen ASAP, so that any existing members that are having doubts about coming back next season are immediately infused with renewed enthusiasm and positive thoughts about the future. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure that going out and cherry picking from Crown and Boston is the way to go. I'd much rather "the powers that be" were looking closely at some of the WGI designers who are "up and coming". I think a design team of "young and hungries" might be a better fit to re-energize the Cadets. (will duck and cover) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They still have the Cadets strongly in their minds and it is their Corps. No matter where they go, they have a strong emotional connection to the Cadets. And getting beat by Mandarins last night, is putting things into focus that they need help. I could see scenarios where Crown and Boston voluntarily move on from Ryan and Jeff, Ryan because Boston wants to up their arrangers to the very top echelon of the activity, and Jeff because they tried this avenue and it did not work for Crown who still have aspirations to medal every year. Rick Subel working with Jeff at Paramount I believe have developed a strong working relationship and are comfortable with each other.
