They just recently released a video confirming that it was in fact inspired by a scene in A Beautiful Mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

littlejaw Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 Got the 80. Now to see how far the spread is to BD. This will recontextualize the season for all of us fans. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It simply reads as a natural growth out of their previous two seasons, and I love that forward progression. I love the BrainLab podcast and had no idea they were reflecting as well on the episode with the painter....I'm nuts about that aspect. Really, really cool. The red line tarps & scaffolding fences create some really interesting staging moments and it just reads as visually fresh. Orawa is intense. Bolero & What a World at the end is of course gold. Overall, just a deeper, more thoughtful show than we've seen from Cavies over the last two years (and I've loved the last two years), but it still has the big audience appeal of the last two shows. And I know it's been mentioned ad nauseam, but their brass is FINALLY playing at the level of their front ensemble and their visual execution...God they sound good! I'm not used to such deep, resonant sounds from this brass ensemble, and I'm eating it up. There is a ton to work on this season in this well- & deeply-designed production, and I don't imagine Cavies will end up anywhere near where they're sitting now in the rankings. From my understanding, previous Cavaliers corps lacked that deep resonant sound because of the hyper-layered style of brass arranging rather than the talent of the corps itself. I agree with you, the hornline sounds fantastic this year 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluesman Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 I've been a member and a fan of Drum Corps since 1977. I've always enjoyed Cavies, but this year they've blown me away. Simply amazing! When I saw them performing the outrageously over-the-top "Oh, What a World" it instantly became my favorite Cavalier show ever. I think they have a chance of taking the gold. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then they better start beating SVC, Crown, BD and Bloo .... which they have not (yet). Can't get the gold without passing these four.

There are so many corps with great programs that this year is turning out to be my favorite season since 1991 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is unfortunate that the schedule worked out as it did, very few matchups with the (dare I say it?) the obvious contenders. They have (for the most part) been off on their own with anyone in their competition class. SCV and BD together, Bloo, Cadets, BAC, and CC together. The next two weeks will be telling.
