NOTE: This article originally appeared on my old website as part of a series of 2010 show reviews. I’ve updated the article with photos, but the text is almost completely untouched. Enjoy!

12 Corps Of Christmas – 2012 Cadets
I was going to save this one for last. I mean, you can’t get more Christmas-y than doing a show completely composed of Christmas music with the name “12.25”, right?
