Cadets-Inaugural Parade 2009

[0SukMunky0]

How exactly did they get the whole corps in January? O.o

[malcolmgetscrazy]

@0SukMunky0 Because it was for the PRESIDENT. Sort of a big deal.

[Tuba408Bass]

@0SukMunky0 They Didn't. a lot of these people were alums from the previous season who live on the east coast. Only those members who were able to, attended.

[winniedm96]

These guys kick ass!!!!

[silkaem]

I dont think I can ever get use to them stepping off on the right. It always throws me off when I watch em. And yes, I understand the tradition.

[rand07]

I watched this parade just because the Cadets performed.. best music and playing I heard in the entire parade.

[bsisforboyscouts]

alot of phasing, pretty bad for pros

[H13killz0ne]

they are not cadets. they are bandies, therese a diffrence. go to a real military school and have real 4th class system, then be called a cadet.

[pinchofsalt100]

@H13killz0ne ummmm... it's just a name. Should I say that the Colts can't have their name cuz they aren't horses?

And it's a CORP! xD

[H13killz0ne]

@pinchofsalt100 go to a military school and be in the military then we will talk. you have no clue wat it means to be in a company and be apart of a 4th class system for 9 months.

Im in the Corps numb nuts, one u wouldnt make it thru.

[pinchofsalt100]

@H13killz0ne Ugh.... you're really not getting the point are you? It's just their NAME.

It is not implying that they are associated with the millitary or are trying to be like it, it's just their name.

[itshawn]

@H13killz0ne Go to the real military be called a real soldier. And they are Cadets. Thats the name of that drum corp. And I can promise you they march better then soldiers. Our Drill is no where close to as good as them

[john3047X]

@H13killz0ne I have respect for "the Corps" but I bet you money the group in the video works just as hard. Many Cadet age outs are in the military.  are they still "bandies"?

[beastdrummer555]

@john3047X we perfer "bandos"

[samrshelley]

@H13killz0ne I thought the military educated their Cadets...

[huntercra]

WOOOOOOOOO one day after my bday i wish i would of saw this 

[347826able]

cadets are awsome. they should be in any parade for the president

[jonnyeis]

woah woah woah ... cymbals?? back up when did that happen?

[IHATEPLAID]

i think thats their pit

[jonnyeis]

@IHATEPLAID could've been indeed ... good thought, i got pumped all of a sudden to march cymbals at the Cadets (prolly wouldn't make it anyway) oooh well

[heavythehobbit]

Lovin' the bass heads :D

[thsma2009]

yes i was. it suckd for horns to. cold trupet = cold mouth peace= freaky pitch.

[jadebrew]

This was a really cold day!!

[Suyado]

...I'm really OCD. It bothers me to see them lead with the right foot :)

[HugeJohn51]

we have to be different!

[manofdci]

you know what makes you guys different as well? youre glorious sound and clean drill. ;)

[jck1794]

i didnt notice that before, but yea that does kinda bother me.

[ShaunODead]

Why? There's no rule book anywhere that says you have to start with your left. They do what works and they do it well.

[pyrochinchillaX]

Lol, my high school band is right foot lead.

[ptowndrummr]

i saw these guys in jersey the day before the parade. two feet away. drumline was fuckin clean as shit. it was raining and like 35 degrees out and they played just as well as always. ill never forget that day.

[DissonanceBeauty]

aww dang

poor drumline

i marched a Macy's Day parade and it was cold as balls out and my hands hurt when we played

but then they warmed up

:]

[khammondbrass]

Ouch....it really must've been cold.

[wilsonkm]

It was the coldest time of my life.

I was holding a euph in my right hand for 5 hours while it sucked the heat out of my hand. And many of the tuba valves froze before we started marching.

Except when I saw Obama, I didn't mind being cold. =)

[PicklesandFrogs]

Did a single tear come out of your eye?

[wilsonkm]

Well I don't get that emotional easily.....I will say that I am eternally grateful for the opportunity.

[sethdmil]

yeah, that was us in the pit

[Suyado]

Trooper Salute?

I believe...

[nhspercussionist]

im digin that snare sound

[jrkrush01]

our band was two slots away we were the south cobb hs band we got to talk to them it was so cool

[hockeyman1o1]

lol, congratulations

[BrattenBoy0522]

i was in the parade with the band i marched with. i didnt get to see yall march through but i saw yall warmin up. sounded good and from the video i see u looked good. looks like something id like 2 try out

[bejay20x]

colin should invest in finale or sibelius, but other than that his writing is amazing.

[pbuza]

Not their best, but considering the amount of time used to rehearse(time of year/season) and the weather; a great job.

[Moog167]

I'm sooo mad I missed them.....My brother just wanted to leave because it was soo damn cold and there were so many people....

[chriso8604]

Yay cadets!!! Cant wait for summer to come!

[ThoringTonsOfFun]

I was RIGHT behind them!

It was such an honor!!!

Did you know the pit marches cymbals for parades? I did.

[gdickelman]

Winter camps are in process, which means the corps has begun forming for next season. The Cadets devoted part of their December camp to prep for the parade and organize the trip.

[hershy31]

2nd line: dirty steps

other than that: amazing

[trptdavid]

Freekin Awasome.... You guys made me proud....

[ohrate]

Fantastic job Cadets, we love you.

[xtripleplayer77]

Critiques about performance....negative comments...are you kidding me???? It ISN'T August in case you haven't noticed. THEY WERE AWESOME.

[karnsguardie]

wow. loved it! I wish I could have seen more of the guard :(

but sounded great!! Can't wait till this season!!

[phen0men0n]

Lookin' very good, for January.

[Fontimus]

Figures, the peice ends just as the Cymbals get in view. BALLS!

[amydun1]

A very proud alum...

Class act!

[joshpr]

This Cadets alumnus could not be prouder.

[Teemu1]

Yeah G Banks! Out of form! AGAIN!! Haha!!

[jeffe77]

I swear that the cop/officer was saluting when they announce the Cadets, perhaps he thought that this was another military band.

[skippyrandom]

Incredible job, Cadets.

You bring honor to this great nation!

[sizlchest]

Feet need work.....

/OldschoolCadet

Nice Job Holy Name!!!

[wilsonkm]

I was in this parade with The Cadets (I was in the middle of the line in front of the tubas).

For my first euphonium performance in uniform, I feel I did pretty well. And that was the experience of a lifetime. I'm eternally grateful.

FHNSAB...

[sopscreamer]

Great Job Cadets!!

[ConeOfUncertainty]

Thank you gdickelman, great coverage, and awesome performance Cadets! You did DCI proud.

[IcyStreets]

awesome job cadets! My marching band plays a modified version of that song (Trooper salute?) for parades

[IspinRIFLE2653]

yeah, i marched with the Cadets in the guard.

it was freezing!

but im just proud to have been a part of it <3

[BugsyRx]

Great job guys. I'm proud to be a Cadets alum.

[boxingfred]

Thanks for posting that. A Cop moved right in front of me and killed my video. The Cadets sounded great! The colts too.

[gdickelman]

Cold is not the word for it...20 degrees, and they had been standing around for 2.5 hours until just prior to playing this number. By comparison with other groups around them, they were great! :-)

[Mudricosauve]

2.5 hours? we got off the buses at noon and werent back on until around 6:15. longest day ever. We sound pretty good considering the frozen valves and frostbitten fingers.

[gdickelman]

I stand corrected! The Ted Kennedy episode delayed the parade for an hour, so you folks were outside for over four hours before you kicked off. I was getting cold by that time, and I was wearing quilted cold-weather motorcycle gear! As a tuba player, I felt the pain of those 16 sets of lips! Nice job, Cadets!

[RBVTBONE]

@Mudricosauve Pitch control must've been a real bitch in that cold..

[Gandrolok]

Cool bass heads!

[tchmuzk]

WOW... based on performance level, it sure ain't August!

[Gandrolok]

I second that.

Maybe it's the cold.

Maybe they're tired.

Ugh.

[sethdmil]

I was in the drumline and we just arrived back home.

We were outside in that cold for more than 7 hours today. We had to stand there for about 6 hours before performing. I feel that the corps did an excellent job considering the circumstances

[sethdmil]

and I am proud of what we did there and am even more proud to call myself a member of the 2009 Holy Name Cadets.

[behold888]

Great job -- may this be just the beginning of great things to come. Have a great summer. Leave it all on the field.
