One of my favorite things to do for complicated drill moves (not just Cadets, but any group) is to pick a random member and follow them through the drill and see where they end up. I've spent countless hours rewatching drill and marveling at the insane amount of ground some folks cover during these sets.

My knees hurt just watching this. That said, at 200+ BPM the sets are clean. Amazing stuff.

I watch this only in sadness now, it's all over. Never again will we see this kind of movement on a football field.

this channel is still criminally underrated, never stop bro

I think the cadets are slept on bit these days, but 99 in particular is such a criminally underrated program to me. They were some amazing musician athletes.

I remember watching Cadets from close backfield (99) whilst guarding drums. Twas muddy as hell & I see this Contra totally slip sideways & eat it sprawled out completely so the left side of his uni was all mud... and he got up so fast it was like an action movie gun fight when someone summersault rolls across the screen to avoid bullets & then bounces back into a run... that Contra sprinted IN-STEP back into his set... the whole thing lasted like 6 seconds tops & if you were grabbing popcorn you would have never known it happened. Where I come from, that's called HLD Baby!

I can assure you, lots of 2021 cadets wanted the tempo pushed 200+

[TazHyena]

One of my favorite all time corps. Sad to see them go 💔

[keyowilson]

I marched in 2007 and 2009. 2007 was my rookie year in drum corps, and in the tuba section, 2 were returning vets from 05 and 06.

And I still cannot believe we made it through all of that.

I knew 2007 was going to be at or near the top of the list. We were pushing for the tempo to be 215 the last two minutes.

2001 Cadets Guard. I’m the one squeezing through the entire horn section. “Insanity!!!” was my immediate thought at the time we started rehearsing this.

[stephennguyen]

Watching their feet at 6:20 is hypnotic... It's so clean

[popeyesailor]

Power of Ten is my favorite Cadets show. Love that piece of music. What a hornline!

[molybdnum]

Always interesting where the tempo ends up when the adrenaline kicks in - and if the battery and hornline can agree on it or keep up. I'm pretty sure 07 and 08 were both marked 208 or faster and sometimes went off the rails to 212-216.

I love watching the Cadets run their asses off! Fantastic video as always!

[DWBarman]

1986 Garfield … incredible amount of cleaning last two weeks of the season! I still how no clue how I did this! Happy we made the cut 😀

[chasebartholomew]

The closer in 2018 was at 212bpm. Awesome video.

[brown]

97 Cadets entire drill was incredibly written and visual alone carried that show. In the PBS broadcast they had a clip of the backfield Z-pull and they are MOVING, like 3-4 to 8. The only thing I thought was faster is the closer in 08. That was purely insane. The crowd never get bought into that show but all jumped up at the end in mad respect of the drill. I saw shades of this in the 21 show, hopefully they get back to their roots!

Currently my favorite channel on YouTube right now, please keep making content

Collectively, did not like Cadets 2008, but when they just played and marched, I was in heaven.

[stubbyt]

I knew 2001 had to be near the end of this one 😂 never not hyping that closer, watching bass 5 haul ass across the field in a backwards right oblique. Not to mention the amazing drill going on from the hornline just wow.
