Last night was my first viewing of the Cadets this season, and I loved the show! Outstanding music, interesting drill, etc - it was refreshing and I thought they’d score higher than they did. One of my fav shows this season. Keep it up! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the prop movement needs to be a bit smoother but I still have them battling with Phantom for 5th and 6th place though after hearing what I have about Mandarins and improvements made by Blue Stars, that could change. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like at this point in the season, they are sitting in 9th. Still plenty of season left. But I agree with this post. I'm hoping for a turnaround later on. But right now, I don't see it coming. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwillis35 Posted July 9, 2023 Share Posted July 9, 2023 The Cadets are just fine. The show is dirty and it has some very physical body work and fast movement.unlike some corps out there the Cadets have their full closer...one that does not need to be changed. It will get tweaked but they truly have a full show. They added more body work last week and a few new sets. The timing of events will be the next goal then the cleaning begins. It's a magnificent show. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IDK how that will play in Indy? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonwoody Posted July 9, 2023 Share Posted July 9, 2023 I may be wrong but I only find the Cadets next show a week out. Another week not competing? I guess they don't need the cash as badly as I thought which is good...I guess. . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony L. Posted July 9, 2023 Share Posted July 9, 2023 The score is an anomaly imh. They were on an island competively, so the judges placed them somewhere in that zone. I do not worry about scores and placements until they compete with pier corps. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I think as they continue to clean, it so is going to be a fan favorite in Indy. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
