luvs me sum mello!

No. It would be near impossible to judge. Getting all those votes would be ####ed near impossible with crowds as large as finals. Everyone at finals pretty much can tell who crowd fav was anyways from reaction alone.

I prefer BK's Shostakovitch to phantom's.

Come on guys, everyone knows Maleguena is Madison's piece. Hell, sometimes I think that's all they know how to play.

Except for that "tie" business. Can't really call that either way, defeated or undefeated.

Considering the past 6 years, I'd say cavaliers, statistically, have more of a chance of going undefeated.

Indeed. First year on the IYM. Amazing sounds. Especially on the ladders. How long was that high B to C resolution? ####

The Circle of death Pwns all...

They're gonna need some huge scissors, in that case. Like trimming fat from a whale...

Totally absurd..... Why would you even consider ranting on this? I applaud every corps for busting their ###es to entertain us with however long a show they want to field come opening day.

If that's a corps' prerogative, then that's their problem. Me, I'd rather see a 9 minute show that's a bit cleaner then an 11 minute show that feels like they just had the first full run that afternoon.

Dear god....it's even worse when I have something to watch.... I miss The Cadets...this I believe.

And some say west coast inflation doesn't exist.....HA!

Beginning definitely sounded "machine-esque", but I totally get the whole "alarm" idea going on. This is the year Bloo breaks the top 3!

Yes, because Crown's sound can even touch The Cavaliers. I've heard june recordings of both...night and day.

Off topic, but on NPR the other day, they reported that papyrus of the text that explains how the number 666 is "the mark of the beast" is wrong! This text is VERY old, the oldest of it's kind. After translation, the number is..................... 616!!!!!! DUM DUM DUUUUUUUUUUM!!!!!

And of course mine was as well. I've always liked the Cavalier/PR rivalry.

Great music. Great start. I'm looking forward to seeing how this turns out by Texas and finals. Props to the soloists. Sounds good now, but when polished, will sound amazing.

Gee...I had no idea PR owned those pieces. Heads up everyone! You're not allowed to play anything Phantom has played already......ever.....

You've played Cavalier music? You've marched a Cavalier show? If the answer is no, then I have no idea how you base your claim. I'd like to see you take on the 03, 04, and 05 parts. Especially in 05. The section leading up to and in the circle of death.

2 possible responses: A: The Cavaliers do not Jazz run everything....sorry, but no. B: If they did "bounce all over the place" instead of maintaining that "perfect" smooth step like all the other corps, why is it that The Cavaliers have one of the smoothest sounds in all of DCI? hmmm.... Take your pick. Either way.

Ya..............................no...........

Classic DCP

That has to be the plainest and worst uniform I've ever seen. They look horrible on the individual, and probably look even worse in form. It looks like they have their slacks up around their chests like an 80 year old man. What a waste of money.
