GREENBLUE

That’s what I recall as well

2003 should’ve won. It was a masterpiece.

And I absolutely loved his arrangements/originals so does that make them more exciting? Point being…everyone has their own likes and dislikes. Doesn’t make one right or wrong. The Blue Devils must of thought him exciting enough. The used him as music ensemble coordinator this year.

Didn’t realize the name change. Thanks.

Who is Pyro Lugo-Allen??

I don’t remember that being the case. Not really sure how 5 gold medals, 2 silver and 2 bronze could be boring. I DO remember the complaint was more to the brass technique/ approach and how it wasn’t Loud or exciting.

Excited for Saucedo as well. Always nice to have a HOF on your design team. Does anyone have insight on David Starnes other then his bio???

For the 50000000000000th time. Every time the Cavaliers have an announcement to make does not mean they are going Co Ed. It’s getting ridiculous how many times this has to be stated.

Here’s hoping…

I believe Concerto No. 10 was a mash up with the Floor is Lava leading up/including the hit during the ballad. Starting right after the soloist section.I could be wrong but that’s how it sounded to me.

The real question is at this point is where do they go??? The brass teams at the top seem to be set, so no openings there. If they’re a package deal (Martin/LeBeouf/Dickey) we need to see some openings to accommodate the three of them. Possibly SOA?? Martin is arranger and has the ties. Time will only tell.

Imho…Weber and Saucedo would be a dream team for the Cavaliers. The corps would also need the right artistic direction to help incorporate modern staging.

I think “tremendously” may be an over exaggeration. I would say more like adequately.

I don’t think you understood my question. hence my quotations around “resigned”. There is a difference between “resigned” in public forums v. “Let go” behind closed doors. So again I ask…how do you if each “resigned” v. “Let Go”?

Thanks! Lol. Did it in a hurry. I loved Propaganda BTW.

So do you know for a fact that all 11 staff “resigned”??? Just asking.

Yes. And again if they’re happy with 5th-9th then keep them together. In 2017 they were fourth by like .0175 or something ridiculous. 2016: 5th 2017:4th 2018:6th 2019:5th 2022:9th (5 year average placement 6th).

Not the issue… but okay. This isn’t a Madison Scouts type situation.

The 2022 Cavaliers design team was not going to get this corps to the next level. They unfortunately were not the answer. If they’re happy with a 5th-8th place every year then keeping it would’ve worked. The show design was not there this year. Even if Covid hadn’t happened the best this corps could’ve reached was maybe, if lucky, 7th????? It was obvious that the judges weren’t buying into the design as well as the guard technique/book seemed outdated and due for a change. Sometimes change is good. It’s definitely exciting lol. I’m not going to be doom and gloom unless the replacements are meh.

A lot of rook-outs???

Jacob Taylor out as visual caption head at phantom. Per his Facebook

Question being…why’d they take it down?? changes??? additions??

Agreed. I have no clue how to do. also does anyone know the name of academy percussion head and their arranger? can’t find on their site.

Recap so far: Cavaliers: Daniel Wiles- program/artistic director ❌ Tommy Allen- visual/ guard director❌ Richard Hinshaw-drill designer ❌ Blake Dutton-guard designer❌ Geoff Longo- choreographer ❌ Jennifer Hinshaw- movement ❌ Dave McGrath- design consultant ❌ Madison: Tim darbonne ❌ visual cap head BK: tracy carter ❌ guard caption head Crest: Glen Crosby❌Program coordinator Am I missing Anyone??

And competitively how were they better this year??? How?? Don’t forget there was no Spirit of Atlanta to knock Madison down to 16th place and you had Academy that was hit with Covid right behind them. if you think the show design was better what does that have to be with being coed? That show could’ve been done with all males or all females.
