I actually LOVED this show. I think It will do extremely well this year. It's gorgeous and It's very refreshing. It's also Just not the same old Christmas we are use to. I loved how the presented it in 3 different ways. In my opinion I think it's between The Cadets and Carolina Crown this year. Both PHENOMENAL shows compared to what's being put out on the field this year. I think the Blue Devils might have a chance depending on how the judge react to their show.
I absolutely HATED the idea of a Christmas show, and as I was deployed during the summer, I wasn't able to trek out and see the Cadets at all. But watching this, I really enjoyed their execution, and the music. I regret hating this show now.
Wow. The new changes are great! I hope this will be a good thing for them for the rest of the season. They're The Cadets. They're known for cleaning up when cleaning is due.
Finally figured out what part is omitted from the finals CD... I remember reading 31 sec was removed and I could never tell where. It's 10:41-11:20 you can't tell in the cd. Wish they coulda put that in the cd though :(
I like this show a lot more than Crowns mostly cause it's not a clusterfuck of music. There's so much happening in Crown's show musically it doesn't catch me.
This is America, even if you're not a Christian I'm pretty sure the Christmas season is hard to escape. That's like saying people who hate sushi couldn't identify with Cavalier's Samurai, or people who didn't read Romeo and Juliet in high school would be lost in the middle of Phantom's show last year. Hopkins put out a "love it or hate it" show (like he has NEVER done in the past?). It's Christmas music and lots of people love it. Maybe you should propose a show to your liking next year.
I don't think they should've done a Christmas theme. It will be seen as out of place in the summer. However, if they did a winter theme or snow theme, it might be more effective. I think cuz Christmas is so attached to a certain time of the year and exclusive to other cultures' traditions it is not as effective because its hard when you are fighting a person's seasonal mood but impossible when you're audience doesn't all have that nostalgia from Christmas.
they do that so people in the nose bleed seats can hear them. A lot of corps are trying to get the best crowd experience. and amplification is one of the things they need to show the music. yea. in the 90's 80's and 70's they didnt have amplification because they didnt have the technology for it. I saw the mother fukkers live. rehearsal and live. dci needs amps for the trumpet screamers no doubt. they are making it better for crowds.
Cadets are amazing this year. Best visual show, best percussion, best guard, next best brass to Crown...despite the scores. Definitely should win again this year. Crown should be 2nd. Phantom 3rd. BD 4th.
Trust me the cadets lead trumpets can play loud enough. when you got 1 maybe 2 to 3 trumpets screaming, when im in the 3rd tier in the last row you need amps. and you can hear them. they are there for crowd experience. Listen this is freaking 2013. NOT 1950 LIKE EVERY PERSON WANTS IT. GET THE HELL OVER IT. SHIT CHANGES. if we thought like you we would still have steam engine cars on the road. NO WE HAVE HYBRIDS AND SHIT
@despiertobx Not saying you are in any way whatsoever, but the last addition to your comment made you lose all credibility due to a general thought that you might be racist. But that tangent aside, I've never said the music is bad. In fact Christmas music is usually very well written and the arrangement here is excellent. I'm saying their GE sucks. You know, how well the theme translates to the audience. That's what I'm saying.
in first place with a score of 97.2 Carolina crown in second place with a score of 97.0 the cadets in last place with a participation plaque the blue devils
That silent flag feature was my favorite moment of the entire show.
I loved it too!! Super cool!!
Something about this show musically screams modern bluecoats t me
Random, but listening to this 47 days before Christmas!!!!! I can't wait until Christmas!!!!
this would the best caroling group ever.

Love the Christmas theme. Never seen a drum corp do a Christmas theme before.
They never fail to entertain! Their hard work shows every time!
I take back everything i said about this show. I teared up during the big hit in the closer. My 2nd favorite show of the whole year.
I absolutely HATED the idea of a Christmas show, and as I was deployed during the summer, I wasn't able to trek out and see the Cadets at all. But watching this, I really enjoyed their execution, and the music. I regret hating this show now.
I love getting chills when its hot outside, from watching drum corps videos like this. Nice work, thanks for uploading.
Wow. The new changes are great! I hope this will be a good thing for them for the rest of the season. They're The Cadets. They're known for cleaning up when cleaning is due.
You're very welcome! They've got a good show going, they just need to keep pushing it!
i really enjoyed this show, its such common music since Christmas themed, so i absolutely loved it! great job Cadets! :D
wow, that was crazy clean. beautiful drill.
awesome show very well done!!! on a side note the voice at 11:20 is absolutely beautiful!
prolly my favorite show this year so far.
I really hope they win Finals this year!
Wow! I really like this!
Awesome new changes!!!!!
think I am just going to wait till november and december to go crazy watching this
@mrchris33195 Thanks for the video!!! I really want the Cadets to take the Championship again!! :)
The chord at 2:40
WOOOOO!!!
My thoughts exactly.
Last 30 seconds get me everyy time!!! :)
I think I would love this show in DECEMBER....deff not a summer show.
Finally figured out what part is omitted from the finals CD... I remember reading 31 sec was removed and I could never tell where. It's 10:41-11:20 you can't tell in the cd. Wish they coulda put that in the cd though :(
Ahhh the guard makes me drool. So beautiful.
when i first saw the title in January this year i actually thought that, i was like '??? wins one year, loses the next?? impossible!" lol
12.25 is their show
It's the arrangement that Jay Bocook, the arranger of The Cadets, wrote.
I like this show a lot more than Crowns mostly cause it's not a clusterfuck of music. There's so much happening in Crown's show musically it doesn't catch me.
This makes me think how bad I am at chimes.. lol.
I like there show better last year
I'll march for the both of us :')
It's in marching band arrangement.
I'm sorry, but I just can't listen to the opener without visualizing Peter Griffith marching in the middle of all of them.
DM thicc
I wish they woulda did a park and blow with jingle bell rock.
the thought of stepping off on my right foot is revolting but this show made me forget that they do that lol.
actually us in Oklahoma really want to think about winter.
I would never have any problem watching that DM...
no devils won. plain and simple. the cadets show was my favorite you cant argue with the final result
Its August...

You sure you're not talking about Blue Devils ;-)
I thought the exact same thing. Soo blue devils

We have a correction! We have a correction....
You'd get used to it.
Hair down run through :]
7:30 is something Blue Devils would do.
They do that? That's weird, I guess it really doesn't matter, but that is unique.
Tee hee they're gonna win!
lol
But great show anyways

awww that's not nice... =(
in last place....with a score of 12.25.... THE CADETS!
in first place with a score of 97.2 Carolina crown in second place with a score of 97.0 the cadets in last place with a participation plaque the blue devils
You're anti Drum Corps because of microphones? Dude, that's stupid.
THIS IS A MESS, CHRISTMAS THEME COME ON GUYS. NOT THE BEST THING FOR A SHOW
That was... boring!!! Isn't the point of DCI; to be the most out there and to wow the crowd the most without losing musicality and form?
