oldsnare Posted August 17, 2023 Share Posted August 17, 2023 Probably off topic, but I compare all ballads to Cadets 2005 "Dancer in the Dark". That, to me, was the best ballad I have ever heard, as well as maybe the best choreographed (with the battery moving backwards getting farther and farther back), yet there was no problem with timing back to front. Such perfect demand. 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwillis35 Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 Time for Cadets to tackle some David Holsinger again, only something they have not done yet. On The Grand Prairie Texas would be a good one. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcjordansc Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 How are the Cadets doing financially? Are they back on solid ground? Money seems to be the only thing that can hold back the top corps these days. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Money seems to be the only thing that can hold back the top corps these days. Based on the most recent tax return filing which ran from 11/01/2020 - 10/31/2021 (So this is the covid celebration year), the organization able to collect donations and revenue from various operations to make money. They were able to grow cash balances, although they are small in my opinion. Financially they appear okay. Based on local rumor mills they seem to be fine and are collecting donations. And I do know there is a big effort amongst the board and those associated with the board locally here in Erie attempting to gain corporate sponsors from businesses in Erie. Including some that would be extremely beneficial to the corps. All things considered, The Cadets appear to be doing well here in Erie and are prepared for the next year. 7 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheOneWhoKnows Posted September 15, 2023 Share Posted September 15, 2023 I knew from the beginning when it was announced that The Cadets were moving to Erie it was going to be good for the corps AND for Erie. Cadets are to hold a training clinic to get local interest and build up local students to potentially become Cadets. https://cadets.org/cadets-host-future-cadet-clinic-fall 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not just one of the greatest performances ever, it's full of great concepts executed with superiority in every caption. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
