Once again, music will fill the air in Ada as the Cadets Drum and Bugle Corps returns to Ada for the fourth summer.
The Cadets, which placed 7th in the World Class category last year, will bring 150 musicians and a support staff of 35 people when they arrive here on Friday.
The Cadets practice in small groups during the mornings and afternoons and as a group from 7-9 p.m. each evening in the stadium to prepare for tough competition in shows they give from Coast to Coast all summer long.
