  1. I can recite a list of judges certain corps would like to see or not see on Finals night. It gets to the point where you can look at the panel and make your predictions.
  2. Agreed!!! If semi finals was finals then Crown would’ve been champion. You could feel it in the stadium Saturday night that BD had a better run.
  3. BUMP BUMP BUMP just listened to tonight’s show. I cranked it up in the car. Wow. Musically it’s really starting to come together. That drum break leading up to the first hit in the closer…talk about tension then In your face BAM!!! 2 more weeks.
  4. Me thinks….. people are starting to get nervous. As the Cavaliers clean they are becoming more and more dangerous. the percussion was on fire tonight and the drum scores don’t surprise me at all. The gaps shrinking, watch out.
  5. Okay design team let’s start adding some GE to this show. Thank You, That is all. Lol.
  6. Omg! I never realized that!!!! Makes more sense. Maybe they can do something to help convey to audience. Sound byte at beginning of it or something…who knows
  7. Looks like academy missing approx: 10 brass half the snare line 1 tenor guard????: who knows yikes
  8. Per FB: The Cavaliers will be instituting the following protocols for the remainder of the season: All outdoor rehearsals will remain open to the public at the present time. Please do not interact with members, staff, administration, or volunteers unless masked and observing a 10-foot distance. Please do not enter indoor rehearsals and housing sites- these are limited to members, staff, administration, volunteers, and housing site personnel. Please do not access the warmup and parking areas at rehearsals or shows. This is our biggest concern for transmission and is the most likely access point for our and other corps outbreaks. Any interaction with members, staff, administration, or volunteers should be outdoors, last 15 minutes or less, all individuals must wear a mask, and observe a 10-foot distance. Our members, staff, administration, and volunteers will be required to wear a mask indoors, on busses, and outdoors when around individuals outside of our “bubble”.
  9. Just watched the rebroadcast of Mesquite. WOW! The boys are back in town. They are cleaning and cleaning fast! The clarity of the music and drill are really starting to come through. It’s feeling less compact and forced. more layering and added GE and I see no reason why they can’t be in the running for 6th. Design team don’t let us down. Feel they should’ve been at least 1 point in front of Mandarins last night. I’ve been a critic this season, but I’ll also praise when due and last night was best performance to date. Fantastic Job!
  10. This season reminds me of 2018 for the Cavaliers. IMHO it was a huge design miss. The whole summer I was thinking when are they going to add/change…and it never happened. It felt forced and incomplete.They were lucky that year to finish 6th and this year they’d be lucky to finish in 6th. on a side note I’m not sure why they created a show evolving around the music of Bent Knee. One piece would’ve been enough. Is someone friends with the members of the band? I know they came to a rehearsal. The music seems very fragmented with too many selections.
  11. Houston = Best run through of the year. Layering is happening. Definitely cleaner with more clarity. 3 weeks left…we shall see. impressed with tonight. Cavaliers please make me swallow my words.
  12. Fifth was back in last night. Looks like full drumline finally.
  13. I hope so too. All the momentum coming off of 2019 and this was the show originally planned for 2020??? The designers have to see that it’s been a huge miss so far. I keep hoping for a surprise, but I’m not holding my breath anymore. Once I saw the tarps (I thought they’d learn their lesson in 2018) I sighed. The drill is compact and messy, the musical transitions makes no sense and the theme other then a few tick tock sounds is nonexistent. How in the world do they think this program portrays the description I see none of it: from their website: “Our perception of the events of history and our reality make us feel as if minutes, days, and years speed up and slow down. But it’s an illusion. Time remains constant and consistent; steadily slipping through our fingertips while the world develops and changes at an increasingly more rapid pace. Every generation makes its mark on the world, changing the course of history while often echoing the voices of the past. In 2022, The Cavaliers take you on a journey from the early days of the printing press to the modern age of social media, all the while showing how time is endless and repeats itself in mystifying ways.” does anyone see this?? If you do please explain to me. THEY SHOULDVE NAME THE SHOW “CLOCKS”.
  14. Also the jam session near the end seems to end abruptly, needs to be longer!!! The music doesnt tie together nor fit the description of the show given. Better transitions needed. There has to be something the design team has been holding on to.
  15. They need to add something. Covid aside, this has been the biggest disappointment as far as show design. Hope they prove me wrong.
  16. That’s why I always like drum corps more when the season is over. Much more enjoyable watching/listening when all the judging is done. I take my experiences from attending finals and use them when replaying the season.
  17. I’m watching rebroadcast on Flo. does anyone else feel like Crowns show is way over designed? How much cloth can they have on the field?? For my eye it’s overdone and sloppy. Sometimes less is more.
  18. Agreed. You and I both know there needs to be a few changes made to the Cavaliers design team if they want to compete for the top 3 again. But people commenting on the Cavaliers like it’s been an equal playing field this season is ludicrous.
  19. Seriously??? All your comments on these boards need asterisks by them when you’re comparing Blue Stars or any corps for that matter and The Cavaliers. Take any corps off the field for 2 weeks and see how they do. Just remember What they say about kharma…….this can happen to any corps. ***Cavaliers out for two weeks due to Covid.
  20. Maybe they should be auditioning for show designers instead…..too soon? Lol.
  21. Why does every Cavaliers topic have to become one of discrimination and going Co-Ed?? Cut me a break already, it’s getting ridiculous. BTW… boys aren’t allowed to join the Girl Scouts and have you ever heard of fraternities and sororities????
  22. Oh my…lol. Hopefully they don’t pull out Oprah Winfrey tarps and naked Jesus come Finals.
