For you drum corps people who keep asking where the Hainesaw is going.
The choice was between Cadets, Crossmen, and Troopers. As of today, I've made the decision to go with The Troopers. They've hired a really strong design staff (a combination of current Bluecoat designers and a Cavie designer or two)...and I feel like my passion is with taking a project from the start and (over the course of a few years) turning it into something amazing.
Crossmen and Troopers both fit that bold...the beauty of The Cadets would have been...well...it's The Cadets.
Anyways, Troopers. Chris Gow is a definite with me...nothing else is positive as of this very moment.
If you're looking for someplace to march or know of someone who is, start talking to me. :)
You heard it here first...just as promised in August! Fred Morris will put a release out about it soon...but, until then, don't go posting this on drum corps planet or anything, ok? Thanks!

Ok ok
FIRST..."A more traditional approach" at The Cadets means there will be circus bears rolling around the field on giant red balls. It's "more traditional" because they'll only be singing acoustically, rather than using mics. :) (not that I have anything against any of this or that, for the record)
However...if you march Cadets, I PROMISE YOU THAT YOU WILL ABSOLUTELY LOVE. YOU WILL HAVE A GREAT TIME. IT'S A FUN PLACE TO BE. When was the last time you heard someone who marched Cadets speak about a negative experience?
This will be the case for you even if he decides to amp the circus bears' singing.
Lots of alumni voice their concerns about the direction George is taking drum corps every single year.
Innovation is the reason I love The Cadets. If you're really paying attention, the only thing "traditional" about The Cadets is the fact that they innovate. Everything else changes constantly.
Besides the fact that their design staff is constantly trying to change the activity (sometimes slowly, sometimes quickly), there is no traditional approach to The Cadets' show designs.
So anyway...if you want to be in a corps that is interested in being normal drum corps...The Cadets are not it (amplified voice isn't the only way to be different).
Also...there's fun and there's FUN. Different corps give you different experiences. If you go there, you'll have an incredible one...more amazing than your past ones I promise.
