They have about 15 spots avail and the techs and team have tons of WGI ties so they will hand recruit a bunch cadets marching 36 and 4 alternates it’s not a huge line to fill out brass and percussion are in fine shape i find it fascinating how these clear Hop fans are becoming so vocal - pretty clear that 2020 is a threat to “everything sucks now” message they continue to religiously pontificate Personally, I would rather Cadets were fielding 40-44 guard. 36 seems light.

It is being held next April 24th....hmmmm.....uhhhhh...eerrrrr.....never mind! SMART branding lol The folks on this thread currently degrading the Cadets 2020 / YEA etc are an interesting bunch Ask yourself - what is driving this? Are they aligned with Hopkins? Or is it other agenda/forces at work here? One thing is certain - it certainly isn't the "best interest of the current members" they have in mind I'm appalled. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just my perception based on their announcements Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I presume Texas was similar? I've heard the brass experience and the SOUND they produced at the standstill was very solid 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You bring up an interesting point. As hard as it is for most corps to survive these days, you would think drum corps fans in general would be pulling for the Cadets to rebound. It is a strange situation. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
