I appreciate the exhaustive research you put into this.

Not really research. More like true life experience. School of hard knocks.

I'm the proud owner of a University of California-Santa Cruz Banana Slugs T-shirt. :tongue:

Got it in '04 when we were out that way for a wedding.

I see what you did there.

Was it Sohio or Shell that had the "anti-knock" gas formula?

Hey, how about those Cadets? 

 

Maybe Shell?

I remember ads with a "Shell Experimental Car" or something like that... it ran several hundred miles on a gallon of gas. Lots of coasting, lots of barely tapping the gas pedal. LOL.

How about those Cadets?

two more upcoming webinars

March 19, 2020 8:00pm EST UPCOMING
Meet the The Brass Design Team

April 20, 2020 8:00pm EST UPCOMING
Meet the The Design Team

 

So - the one that just happened >

there were two trolls on the questions - Moi and Harrison - hard to take either seriously. Wonder if they are also posting here? (Magic 8 ball says yes)

Some news:

4 team members covered bio

BOD announced March 31

New website March 31

Organization name is simply "Cadets Organization"

Implied the 2 satellite camps were a longer view strategy to increase the reach of the organization

Horn line non-contracted spots down to single digits - complimented talent level

Percussion full with "incredible talent"

corps running 2 shows (Allentown and Annapolis) plus a third they are still finalizing venue 

Guard at 50% contracted which is ahead of the 30% they were at last year same time

Brass has first two tunes 30% - brass getting third at next camp & at April camp rest of music will be to brass & percussion

Wine & Cheese fundraiser in April - invites and details soon, great success last year

YES - they can legally accept donations at this time

April - show would be announced on Maroon & Gold Day

Ticket sales through DCI this season (I personally would assume this is how DCI will recoup funds for YEA! debt

Music copyright secured stands at 85% and should be 100% very soon

ST site (implied at a university) announced "within a week or so" 

Drill/Visual design - moving along well

Re: Alumni > communication a focus and newsletter out soon

YES - you will know it's THE Cadets as soon as you see the corps

Things not addressed - the status of YEA! more explanation to the "divorce" other than saying it will allow the new organization to focus on the corps 

Did not delve into legal matters etc - so those topics went untouched

Thanks for the update. It seems to have covered the items I would expect at such a webinar. They have a lot of work ahead, but it seems they are moving the "front of the house" forward while at the same time working on the "back of the house". I would doubt much of the back information would be released until it is 100% finalized and in operation.

Thank you sir for the reasonable response to the Cadets webinar. The cynicism about this organization is really sad. I have faith in the current team and believe they are on a positive trajectory. Feel free to insult me if you want.
