They have now added two additions to the ending. The singing one from Soaring Sound Centerville had to be planned since they gave credit to Harry Styles "Sign of the Times". I would think they will not add anymore just refine what they have. The whole show has come together beautifully and it is nothing but pure Cavalier energy. The crowds are reacting very loudly during the whole show. I think they will pass the Cadets and the Blue Stars before this is over and who knows maybe more. Yes, I am an eternal optimist.

Really, and this is my and other alums who I have spoken with and mostly agree opinions.
There is nothing to do. They need to find their own way, and the administration needs to seek out people who fulfill their vision, which they apparently have done. This is the direction they want, so... That's pretty much that.
I'm sure the current members are having the time of their lives and love performing together.
It’s sometimes difficult to speak up on here for fear of hurting another person or groups feelings as to how they perceive the drum corps world and in this case the cavies, because of their experience as alums parents, ex staff or fans. But all of us have the same motivation for our. Comments. It’s always to support and enhance the members experiences. Signs of the times!

Except for 2019, the Cavaliers seem to be a bit lost for quite a few years. I loved “Mad World” and is , before 2019, the best because it was pure Cavies. I am not. Drum Alum, unless you count long term fans. Cavies have been my favorite since the first show I attended. I, like all of you, want them to excel for the members. So what can we do as fans to move their success forward. We sit and watch intently and can compare them with the competition. But how can we convey our suggestions to the corps? Surely their is a better way than on comments. Any ideas? Anyone have a friend’s ear inside the organization?

Boston took 2nd plac and they deserved it. They are a new force to be reckoned with . I would not be surprised if they beat BD. Their show has it all. BD is same ole same ole BD. We will see. Cavies went backward a little.

I think this years show is missing what the cavies arre usually noted for. innovation and intricate drill. All the leaders this year are #### full of innovation. Even Phantom has stepped up. Cavies don’t need to go backward to what they are comfottable with they need to lead the pack in design and innovation. It’s that simple.

I am not sure why I feel this way, but lo have a feeling they have something planned for this weekend in San Antonio that will change a whole lot. Let’s hope!

I think the pendulum ( around 4:40) should sweep left after it has swept to the right, then center. It can connect with the people on the left and the whole thing can move right to the circle. It would just add a few counts of movement by the drums and read much more effectively. It's already a highlight, but that would make it much better
Agree! I have thought that since Detroit. There are at least 4. Dead spots in the second half. I keep thinking they will fix it but nada. This show has great moments and has fantastic possibilities. Also why is the show so short? Get busy Cavies!

Yes but why do you ignore the other corps from last night. That, to me, is not cool. If you are going to review a show , review it all. What that always screams, in my estimation, is what DCI’s main problem and point of criticism is. No sense of Parity. You want to see real competition, introduce rehearsal restrictions snd structures, equality of. number of shows performed, money spent on ancillary things like props, parity in tour housing, etc. , bring back scoring based on competence, decrease weighting of general effect, and decrease level of subjective judging . And many other things to promote parity.

They actually looked kind of flat tonight. Need lots of cleaning. But still I can’t believe they came back so strong. It’s encouraging.

They are back tonight

Cavies perform 1st out after intermission in San Antonio. Seems like a fair placement under the circumstances.
-
Cavies have been in COVID forced standstill, but they March and play 90% of the time during their show.

Similar. I’m rooting for them to take this show all the way to its creative edge and execute it where they know they couldn’t have improved it any more.
If they do that, placement will take care of itself.
Listening to them on standstill last night, it was obvious the music is making a big statement. It is saying that when we get back we will be right in the mix at the top. The only thing that concerns me is what DCI might do with placement for San Antonio. I hope they just put them at where their first score upon return places them.

It is still standstill!

It’s actually annoying that the Blue Devils continue to win due to a lack of parity in DCI. How come Blue Devils are not performing this coming week until Indianapolis? They rehearse more then they perform. Everyone else is performing this week.
