ThirdValvesAreForWimps Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 Just for the record, we're not happy the Bluecoats dropped a spot. We're happy The Cavaliers moved up a spot. We have nothing but respect for the corps from Canton. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Part of the reason why I've fallen out of love with the Cavies lately is that they've strayed from the amazingly crisp and refined designs that won them titles. Recently I've felt that they are trying to reassert their identity, but they are mistaken in what their identity is. It's not just having a Y-chromosome, it's being mature and powerful, while still being under tight control. That is the Cavies I love, not this pastiche of testosterone. I'm sure they know what their identity is more than anyone here. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluecoats are my second favorite corps, I'm just super happy Cavaliers pulled this off 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThirdValvesAreForWimps Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 After seeing The Cavaliers and the Bluecoats last night I knew we had passed them but I'm going to share something: After hearing Carolina Crown have some technical issues and performance issues, I honestly thought The Cavaliers had jumped ahead TWO spots.

I think they are going to have a lot of talent come in for auditions. I hope for some screamers in 2018 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would personally like to see my old corps try to play music from the band Chicago but that's not normally done by drum corps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it bad that I hope they play Somewhere over the rainbow for their ballad? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, and there could be an added threat of Boston Crusaders competing for a spot in the top three too, which could make it even more difficult, but until SCV met Bloo and Crown for the first time this past season (I hate saying that so soon after finals), lots of folks did not expect them to place second and most shows, place so close to BD. Until the show is designed, talent is recruited, and the next season begins, we won't know for sure, but I think lots of people in Indy this year began predicting a Cavies surge next year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
