I prefer less social messaging, and something with some swagger to it. I'm not sure the brass team knows how to design ballsy though.

Cappybara Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 I'd love to see Cadets try something in the style of SCV from 2013-2016 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's face it, "Cadets" is viewed as what worked in the 80's and 90's and early 2000's. The game has changed drastically since 11. The competition around them is far greater than it was in 2011. Remember...first they zigged, then everyone zigged, so they zagged. Well now everyone else has Zugged. Maybe they need to zeg. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They lost the quality classic, Americana source music. What exactly about 2019 is "trying to be Cadets"? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there's two things I compliment the 2019 Cadets for, it's their resilience and the decision to ditch the boring Americana music Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only need to look at what Crown is doing this year to know that fast drill, good music and good performers in all captions still works. It takes a special show concept to win Gold now but I don't doubt that if Crown had a strong concept to go along with all of that drill and music that they would be able to contend for a championship. To me Crown is what the Cadets would look like if the Cadets staff from the 5 years ago didnt leave. Lots of different ways to skin a cat. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
