I personally see more potential in 2018 than I did last year’s trip to Mars. But no one has ever mistaken me for a judge. Me either. The 2018 show to me, right now, seems a bit manic. It's hard to gauge in pre-season/early season now because so many corps layer in as the season progresses and what we see at finals is so much more complete. Their brass did sound fantastic, tho.

Definitely think brass is stronger in 2018. And according to the kid, there’s obviously more visual and design coming. As I’m sure with everyone.

Definitely not anomalies! The Cavies are GREAT competitors. There have been many years where they've passed others at the home stretch. Giving it some thought, I do not think I've ever witnessed them "choke". When I've watched them rehearse, or in the lot, they attack every single repetition as if it is "do or die". Never, ever tentative. It's always finals night for them. When they find themselves in tight competition, on a big night, they're more than ready... they've rehearsed "as if" all summer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cavies definitely brought it last year though, increasing their score every night at Indy. and Bloo just kinda held in place. every year theres that one corps that surges daily. last 2 years its been Cavies. This year who knows Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I wouldn't say they "choked" per se at the end of the 2015 season, they certainly stalled out. They had been sitting in 7th all season long, ahead of Phantom and Madison. Yes, I know they had a flu outbreak which caused them to withdraw from Atlanta & Winston-Salem. But they still beat both Madison and Phantom after that. It wasn't until Finals week that those 2 corps both passed Cavaliers and knocked them into 9th Place. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is completely ridiculous. You basically have an entire corps that is unable to rehearse let alone clean, let alone make any significant changes the last two weeks leading into finals. So while both Phantom and Madison were doing all that, the Cavies have members marching in finals who wouldn’t have been on the field given any other circumstances. Those kids marched because of heart and passion, plain and simple. To say they “stalled out” is completely disrespectful. Sorry.
