arabica Posted August 13, 2023 Author Share Posted August 13, 2023 I'm happy to eat crow: this season brought more success than I thought possible at the outset. It was incredible to witness the growth and see such strength across all captions back. And more importantly, it sounds from those with kids in the corps this year that they had a great summer. Congratulations and thank you Cadets on your well-earned 5th place, both your highest score and placement since 2015! Can't wait for 2024... 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waliman4444 Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 To " The one who knows": Thank you for your updates prior to and during the season...Your faith in the possibilities for 2023 became realized last night in LOS....5th place this year feels like a medal year ..I know there are those who expect more from the Cadets and hopefully the trajectory for that success keeps rising...But these last six weeks have restored the FEELING that I had in 1982 that something special is coming..Cadets may not have taken first place on the sheets but once again they're competitive and fan favorites..And that's a good thing!.....Peace 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And considering the awesome week from all the corps, that’s really saying something!! Edited August 13, 2023 by Tommeee 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post postertrout Posted August 14, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted August 14, 2023 Finally back home after a 14 hour drive from attending finals, as the dust settles on a whirlwind season and a total of three seasons as a DCI dad, I am filled with sadness to an ending of a era as my son aged out (my cadet is second from the top right in the picture below), relief that he is back home after being away since May, and pride at the job he. his fellow Cadets, and staff achieved this season helping bring the Cadets back to the top 5. I know some feel that there should be an asterisk due to SCV not fielding a corps, but this show was special, and they deserve all of accolades due their top 5 finish. The season started with a lot of criticism of their show; be it the props, the brass not being large or playing as much as other shows, and we all know the uniforms were much discussed. Even with all that, the Cadets weathered the headwinds and after consistently playing from an earlier placement at most regionals, being behind two awesome corps {Mandarins (Kudos to them for their record breaking season) and Phantom Regiment (the obvious fan choice at each regional)}, they continued to add content, gradually improve, and true to the theme of their show they rose to the occasion at finals with their best run of the year to answer all of their critics. I am very proud of all the staff, their rookie Corps Director, the BoD, the volunteers, the donors, the supportive parents, the alumni that continued to support the corps, and most importantly the marching members that gave their all for the last 3+ months to put an awesome product on the field that achieved the corps highest score since 2015. The Cadets are back where they belong. They have made me a lifelong supporter of the corps and my son an honored alumnus. Here is to a bright future for the Cadets and their faithful fans!!

bayareafan Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 A bit late posting here, but congrats Cadets on a great season. I really liked your show this year. Very creative and a very high level of performance by the members. You are a classy organization all around. Lot of changes over the past few years, but you've weathered them and are performing at a very high level. Nice work!!! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
