ChicagoFan Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 North Star The corps always had a straightforward, no-nonesense approach to entertainment. They weren't the most polished, the most creative, or innovative, but they always managed to produce a crowd-pleasing product devoid of any kind of artistic pretentions. In short, they didn't take themselves too seriously. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sburstall Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 (edited) Any corps that was in michigan Edison Lamplighters!!!! We need corps with cool and original names again. Edited September 5, 2006 by sburstall Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom&Phitch Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 The real Cadets :P while that is a good joke... i dont feel they've ever left. You cannot peg one type of anything on the cadets other then the word "not usual" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lancerlady Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 27th Lancers, is there really an explanation necessary as to "why"? :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madcontra99 Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 while that is a good joke... i dont feel they've ever left. You cannot peg one type of anything on the cadets other then the word "not usual" I would have to agree. Do I like the Cadets shows the last few years, well...parts of them. But I give them credit for trying something new (even if it has been done in BOA shows for a few decades) but I digress. I have a CD of the Cadets that I bought in 1995 which was entitled "Relentless Pursuit of the Edge" I know what their intention was as far as the title, but I think it holds true today. And that is one credit I will give them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green Fleurdelis Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 My personal favorite? Blue Rock. With 27th Lancers, Anaheim Kingsmen, Bridgemen and Velvet Knights tied for a close second. But there are so many to choose from: Star, Des Plaines Vanguard, Blessed Sac, St Joes of Batavia, Chicago Royal Airs, Belleville Black Knights. Sigh.

Vagabond Skyliner Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 (edited) Eh? Please help me to understand. Is it the "Name" of a Corps you would like back, or is it the Corps, in who and what they were. Would they play the same type of music as is done today? Would they have to have a Dance/Visual Ensemble team as today? Would they have the Costumes (aka like Cavies or Madison Guard?). Would they have a pit the size of a whole DivII group? Would they have the same marching style as today? If they would indeed have to have all those things. They would not be who they were. They would be just another group. Just using the Name of someone from the past. (I know some things would have to be different. They would have to use the Horns and Drums of today.)
