GREENBLUE

My Lord that performance made me cry. Unbelievable. Both Sides Now used many times in drum corps (BD ‘23). if you didn’t watch the Grammys at least watch her.

You can PM me…lol. I can keep a secret.

I had heard SCVs return may have them on a limited tour model but haven’t heard any details. Not sure if that’s who you’re referring to.

Exactly. Why spend the money when you don’t need to. Especially if you just won high drums with a small amount of age outs. Brass also cut back to two cities, hopefully high retention rate from this season. On the other hand guard has 4 audition cities thru the fall. Trying to ride the success of a 6th place finish and a new guard program. Attract More talent and they can definitely be a top 5 guard.

Cavaliers percussion posted that auditions are only virtual this year. Could it be because there are so few spots open in ‘24? I noticed only 8 roses (age outs) in the Best percussion pic. 8 out of 34 is pretty good. Anyone with insight? Could be with their WGI connections from this year they already have some in mind for the few spots?

Posted on other thread: ”It has yet to be announced if the time away from tour will impact what the 2024 season will look like, in regard to scheduling and the widely discussed possibility of a reduced and/or regional tour. However, significant oversight is expected to ensure that the Vanguard organization is strong for years to come.”

Just watched some video. If he can do that with a high school then it should be exciting to see what he does for the Cavaliers. Looks like the design team is set. Let’s see what they can do without the constraints of an Anniversary season. Glad to see the guard team returning. It was pretty amazing watching the progress from the beginning of the season to 6th place at finals. Most improved guard of 2023.

If true…could be a good fit for Madison.? While nothing wrong with his design, don’t think it could get the Cavaliers to that next level.

Please please please…. Lol.

Or just go back to the Cavaliers. Hand him the whole kit and kaboodle this time. I’ve said before that every show he designed for SCV could’ve been designed for the Cavaliers. Yes, including Babylon.

Seems rather late to the game if they’re just advertising now. Maybe if they can pick up some of the staff that has been let go from other corps??

Forgive me if I’m wrong, but it’s not good if they have to advertise the openings. Correct? Usually this stuff is done behind closed doors or with a handshake.

Thanks for the explanation. Wow…that purple feather is harsh. Kind of like being blackballed from a fraternity. Would the organization hand out a purple feather or would the members?

Then they need to say it already!!!

I understand the feather of course in regards To SCV, but please forgive my ignorance regarding the acronym and the color purple. Meaning?

Couldn’t they just say “Folks we’re back for ‘24. Please check our website for audition information. Unfortunately due to DCI policies we can’t talk staff at this time until after Labor Day . Thank You for Understanding.” it’s really not that difficult.

I wonder if the newbies understand. Lol.

At 99….RIP

Have been to every Final since 2006. So that’s……17 (including 2021 celebration) and have seen every world class drum corps perform live since 2000 (regionals, etc…). Favorites are 2006/2008/2010

I would’ve hoped they announced the return prior to/during finals week.

Do you know the inside scoop of the “letting go”? Because I do. I’m guessing you don’t based on how matter of fact your statement is without support and if you did know you wouldn’t have commented.

No problemo. Totally understand how things work. Like I had mentioned a few posts back maybe they have an arranger and brass caption manager team in mind already?

That’s why I was asking for confirmation. Hadn’t heard anything as well.

Rumors on this board that Saucedo not returning ( just brought in for Anniversary season) and now Tye as well. Cavaliers then needing an arranger and brass caption manager.
