he was with the guard staff from 2005-2010 I believe, and was caption head in 2010. actually i think he left for a year or two before 2010 for bluecoats

I believe he visited star of Indiana's practices once in a while with the team to show them how hard the corps worked.

looking forward to see them continue to excel in 2024. One thing I hope for is a visual design that has more 'drill' focus (like 2022), and less scatter/body as visual moments. I know their music will be great!

I gotta say I really enjoyed the battery writing. The electronics/sound effects I thought were done very tastefully too.

looks like they marched a hole tonight. bummer. assuming that will be the case all weekend. Anybody know anything?

I might be the only alumni out there who would rather there not be a SUTA yell or kick out, lol

percussion isn't scoring well but I will say I really enjoy the battery writing. Sounds more musical than in past years (post rennick). The 'fills' between brass moments are always cool, and that drum break... Front ensemble also sounds more musical, but I wish they showed their talent with more technical passages.

I'm really enjoying the music. Maybe even more than last year. The "they are scv" commentary is funny, SCV started to sound like PR long before PR started to sound like SCV.

excited about these additions. But I wonder if they will be switching to that grape squashing marching technique. would be weird to see regiment do that. but as long as they do whatever they do well, then great.

ok i secretly want weber to end up at phantom regiment, but the cavaliers were always the awesome drill design corps to me. I would love to see them pick up pete weber and do a more drill focused visual design. I believe 100% that kind of design can still be successful in todays dci. And I know a ton of fans are just dying for that!

making sure he never leaves again should be priority 1

oops i don't know how the internet works

Thoughts: They just took it to another level at Little Rock! Felt so much better than even San Antonio. I can see them finishing 7th if they get clean and continue adding layers. I can also see them finishing 10th. I really enjoy this show a lot and don't really care where it finishes at the end of the day. It is everything I enjoy about drum corps. The guard has really come along, and are pretty great! Drill is better than they've had in many years. I hope to see this design team all return next year, and see how far they can go. I'm not convinced that you must be extra modern with props/staging etc to do well. I hope they continue to prove it, because what they are doing is what I enjoy.

Who do you think is going to be walking down that walkway during the big mahler moment? Right now they just push the props to make a walkway but nothing happens on it. Something is coming I would suppose.

God I wish they were in their helmets for this show. Can't wait to see where this goes, it's going to be a special year for them.
