The Cadets are back!
By Monty Siekerman
They're back!
The Cadets drum and bugle corps arrived at 11 p.m. Sunday night, debarking from three gigantic buses at Founders and Maglott Halls where they will reside as they rehearse for their performances from coast to coast this summer.
The Cadets, from Allentown, Pa., include 150 performing artists and have a support staff of about 30 people.
It will be music in the air in Ada with rehearsals starting at 9 a.m., seven days a week, until about 10 p.m. each night.
This is their second year at ONU.
"Awakening" is this year's theme.
The Cadets will leave June 21 for Indianapolis for their first performance.
A few days before packing up and heading out, the corps will put on a free performance for the local community as a "thank you." Last year, the event was held in Dial-Roberson Stadium.
After a summer of many performances and much travel, the select musicians will end their season at the international championships in Indianapolis set for Aug. 11-13.
