Cadets bringing West Side Story to the field
The Cadets have announced their show 'West Side Story: Celebration and Conflict', featuring the music of Leonard Bernstein, and arrangements by Jay Bocook. The corps returns to the field this summer as the Holy Name Cadets.
Musical selections in the program include 'Rumble', 'Prologue', 'Boy Like That'/'I Have a Love', 'Cool' and 'Tonight'. "The Cadets have performed the music of "Lenny" nine times since 1983, and West Side Story has been the centerpiece of their 50th and 60th anniversary shows in 1984 and 1994, respectively", said Cadets Director George Hopkins. "Add to this the fact that West Side Story re-opened on Broadway this Spring, and the union of Leonard Bernstein, West Side Story, the Cadets and the summer of 2009 is simply a natural and much anticipated reunion."
The corps' first competitive event in on June 19th when the Cadets host Music In Motion in Chambersburg, Pa. With more than 30 DCI competitive events this summer, the Cadets will travel the Midwest, Texas and East Coast this summer.
