This is the last cadets line we will ever see. That’s crazy.

[@deltonmcclary7341]

Oh no, how come?? My boys and I love watching their videos!

[@FelixTruvere]

@@deltonmcclary7341 because nobody had George Hopkin’s back when an old lady from way back in 1982 decided to “me too” George Hopkins before the cadets ever had their very first DCI world championship. These people followed him like Jesus and loved him until it came time to crucify him. The cadets lost their sponsors, could not afford the lawsuits, and had no choice but to fold.

That's the most technical (and probably challenging) book I've ever seen. Good God.

LOW TAPS

[@videosmith1000]

The high stick sections and de-accelerando are the most exposed, and they’re clean there as well. Nice work guys!

For Holy Name Shall Always Be

[@FelixTruvere]

I was in this Drum Corps in 1993 and 1994. For holy name shall always be? Not when members of its own organization crucified its own leader after loving him like Jesus; they crucified him for something that happened in 1982, before the cadets ever won their first championship.

[@ejrangel57]

It's so nice to not see the over-hypers in the snareline this year! Sorry to say but it was a bit too much. I enjoyed watching this group!!!!

[@thebeetmaker]

Damn!!!! Even I’m trying to understand the metrics!!!!

You’re being trolled by the uniform company. Those are designed to look bad on an average male.

[@FelixTruvere]

Have you seen the leotards entire drum corps are wearing these days? What happened to uniforms? It’s turned into ballet. They don’t even march anymore; they prance.
