Cadet alum, drill writer, from the UK I think. He wrote C2's drill in '18, and he rewrote Cadets' closer this year. EDIT: I think he also writes for Passaic High School in NJ Edited July 27, 2019 by Foef_Yet_Flalf 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though I'm not sure they're on any earlier than previous Nightbeats; guess they're leaving themselves some extra time this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Complete guess on my part. Something I would do lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brass members seem to be struggling to achieve, visually and musically at the end of the opener - first few moments of part 2 - as they reject the queen brass feet aren't clean - a lot of running around and some bad drill... and I personally don't think the writing is helping matters 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easiest fix is a big snip imo Kinda like the ending at Allentown in 08 being cut 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris ncsu Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 Watched about 2 hours of ensemble rehearsal today. They repped their way through the closer as you'd expect, and otherwise spent most of the remaining time on Estancia. It sounded like they felt the Atlanta show went fairly well. As always, looking for consistent confidence as well as the little details of body movement. Techs engaged all over the field, as they should. Members seem engaged and, well, Cadets. Have some issues with a wheel that likes to come off a prop. Also having some issues getting the folks on the props in time for the ending seconds. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
