This sounds like 1986 given the size of that hornline, the 3 previously announced DMs, and leaving 30 for percussion. Yup, about right. :p Unless they are going to re-do the ending of the Door where guardsters costumed as on field judges...now today's version while the real judges can't on-field, he, he. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This is a really good sign for the future of the Cadets. They have really stepped up their recruiting efforts. Cadets have never recruited large numbers like they are currently enjoying! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I hope they're QUALITY brass though. Still, @dans is right. They usually have a hard time with brass, primarily quality brass. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

One year with my local-circuit junior corps, we had at least a couple of people who were, shall we say, just a tad eligible to march in a senior corps. wow looking through videos I found this REALLY old dude that was marching in 1986 SCV - crazy no one noticed 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
