I liked the overall theme arc, but there were unsettled bits. I have gotten some insights into this year's music, but not the overall show theme. Some pretty cool and interesting music choices. I’ve heard from some sources that it may or may not be a pirate themed show 👀👀

The Cadets Atlas Rising Repertoire to be released when they get 97 more donations This sounds interesting but I'm going to temper my expectations. This is The Cadets so while it probably involves Greek mythology it could just as easily be a Rand McNally tribute show.

I’ve heard from some sources that it may or may not be a pirate themed show 👀👀 That crown guard (err boston guard) from last year would fit into jack sparrow's ship wearing that 2022 guard uniform very well. All kidding aside, I like the new literal boston shows, they leave me not having to think as much and just enjoy. Not that I don't enjoy a Wando 2016 but not thinking is also nice.

Well, I’ll withhold judgement till seeing them, but that is hard to picture. The hardest part for me to imagine is what shoes you would put with a shorts look. Surely you don’t want tall black socks sticking up out of Drillmasters. Do you put the whole corps in dance shows? Interesting!

Interesting! dsicatalog.com/renegade-shoe/Maybe not much better, but at least not shiny vinyl Drillmasters. A number of indoor groups were using them in Dayton.

I feel like we're gonna see a mix of traditional uniforms (Cavies with White Aussies, Madison is also bring back Aussies), costumes (likely Boston and whatever the heck Cadets are wearing), and uniforms transitioning into costumes (basically every Blue Devils uniform since 2017).

Ah... VK!
Dearly departed, deeply missed. Modern drum corps--and I say this as a lover of modern drum corps--could use a good satirical skewering.

Not to divert away from The Cadets wearing shorts conversation, but here is the full list of shows that are going to be streamed on FloMarching this season: www.flomarching.com/articles/10776723-2023-dci-streaming-schedule-which-shows-will-be-live-on-flomarchingIn addition, FloMarching will also be livestreaming the Bluecoats public show premiere at the end of their Spring Traing. While on the subject, which shows are you guys planning on attending this season? NightBeat is off the table for me this year (circumstances lined up just right for me to go last year), but I am hoping to go to the show in Mankato, MN.

At the moment, I’m most excited for the Cadets. Not exactly sure why they would wear shorts for the show but I’m intrigued.
I should be at DCI Denton. Maybe San Antonio if things line up.

Wait. Cadets will be in shorts? 🤦🏻♀️ yes… that was my same reaction, although, I think that maybe, somehow, they will make it work. Of course, it’s another step away from “original” dci, but thanks to rooming with one of the members, well, let’s just say this year, they are playing to medal, and I think they’ve got a shot! Ik recently they haven’t been as good since 15, but they are going to be fighting very hard to be in top 3. It’s gonna be a show to definitely watch out for!

As usual, the local shows are right around the first week of July (AKA end of second quarter), so I don't really have a chance to breathe and do much of anything for about 2 weeks.

Boston Crusaders: "White Whale" Well I guess it’s not 100% pirate themed but still dealing with an sea type concept (sorry if I got anyone’s hopes up) but regardless I’m extremely excited, think they will do great things with this show!
