There's got to be a reason for that. George, any insight? I didn't quite get the huge log cabin looking prop either. But otherwise...incredibly fabulous corps. Cadets are at the top of my Must See Again and Again list. I was just kidding. Cadets have marched on the right foot for decades and I noticed them doing it again last night. I also notice they were using the reverse roll technique on the backups, another Cadets innovation going back years. Sorry...drill guy here!😁 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also couldn't really see what was on Bluecoats' ramp props, due to the glare, but it probably doesn't matter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe because I'm a clueless drum guy and all I ever knew was marching up and down the 50 yard line like a robot. Thanks for the clarification.

Phantom56 Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 When it was announced that Denise Bonfiglio was taking over as Director, I knew the Cadets would be back. She does not tolerate mediocrity. Cadets will take the crowd favorite award at Indy. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldSnareDrummer Posted August 4, 2021 Author Share Posted August 4, 2021 I found my answer on an old DCP thread. How bout that? The things you learn on here. huskerman15 said: Two questions: Exactly why do the Garfield Holy Name Cadets of Bergen County step off with their right foot? What chain of events led to that decision? That's pretty much it. Thanks! I once overheard Zingali explain to a fellow performer that right foot step off was common in dance and it was applied to the Garfield Cadets. He realized, early on, that the demands being placed on the performers eclipsed military marching. The "toes together" approach while at standstill was/is incorproated simply to smooth the visual line of the performer when in a static position. It offers a cleaner vertical line. On the down side, it also takes away some stabilization for the performer. Edited July 24, 2009 by Scooter Pirtle 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As someone who has looked through my own drum corps memorabilia over the years, I felt it added a lot of poignancy to the show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She does not tolerate mediocrity. Cadets will take the crowd favorite award at Indy. They certainly could. I think Phantom Regiment will be in that mix too. They have been wonderful this summer. I guess Crown is not going to Indy. I must have missed something there but their show was really wonderful and fan friendly. Boston and Bluecoats are just amazing but both shows are more progressive, yet still very fun and engaging. Cavaliers are definitely putting a lot of fun on the field, so they will be in the running. And I caught most of Blue Knights last night and man that is a fun show too. But at this point, just in terms of fan favorites, I might put the odd on Cadets and Phantom with Cavaliers and BK in the mix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldSnareDrummer Posted August 4, 2021 Author Share Posted August 4, 2021 FYI Flo has highlight replays of Boston, Blue Coats and SOA up now. No sound on the Blue Coats. What the heck is point of having it up there? Sound for BC/SOA is crappier than the live stream was. Glad I got Flo this year, but certainly starting to fully understand peoples' frustrations.
