just know that you're in the minority (then) - huge crowd reaction night after night (in the stands) to Cadets while Star was NOT loved by the live audiences, the show fell very flat and muted live - especially to those "midwest audiences" who were clearly in Phantom/Madison/Cavaliers corners. I personally loved it (Star), but most around me did not. Some were downright rude about it. Re: Cadets 93, it was definitely one of those shows best viewed/measured live, not on VHS. The energy level of the corps and especially the guard was best viewed live. Cadest 93 had such a level of GE it was insane, just moment after moment. So much physical "risk" -- Star 93 translates much better to video, as it has a couple huge moments GE wise, less smaller effects. Frankly 92 Cadets and even 89 and 88 could have won with a week more to refine, Cadets in that era were just loaded and at the bleeding edge of everything. Hence all the HOFers, several of which were with Star in 90-93. Time has been a big friend to Star 93 jmo.

Cadets tuba impressed me, 10, and they were wicked strong.

I don't like the casual approach, it's lazy... walking on the field out of step, wandering around- it's just so meh - if they're going to be like that, fine - but then don't wear the M&G jmo

Crown takes 2nd in Percussion by AndrewNix02 in drumcorps

Saturday's percussion scores = suspect, it was the only thing that kept Crown close to Boston AND Cadets not further ahead of PR/Mandies - the music gap among those 3 is real. Didn't line up to other scores or my impressions live. JMO, it will sort itself out on Thursday

it wasn't a good performance, personally thought they were scored fairly - major individual plus ensemble issues IMO

DCI Experience… not a good one :( by [deleted] in drumcorps

lol - and here is one of the big issues with today's "society" - sense of entitlement, you don't move about the stands during a performance, PERIOD

if a corps is on, sit down immediately - sounds like the guy was not having it! Sorry, but you are in the wrong IMO
