My wife: “They’re doing a show about Absinthe? As in the liquor?”
Me:”Yep”.
Her: “Maybe the key to getting this show is actually using Absinthe. Lots of it.”-

They’re gonna bring back traditional uni’s at Indy and slay! And when asked about it will say… “We were warming up for this all season”. Which would explain the current warmups uni.
They sound FANTASTIC!

As a new BOD member of SOA… and a fan of the corps since I was 15 years old ( I’m 60 in a month), I’ve got some dust in my eyes right now. These kids have worked super hard… like they all do. It’s just so good to be BACK. And I’m going to do everything in my wheelhouse to maximize Atlanta support for these kids and staff…

I mean you’re just proving my point as to why this show is a disappointment.
Well since you stated you were glad to see them back in the top 6 “again” in 2019, as if they hadn’t lived there or above for years prior… I think I’ve proven to myself how much you actually follow the Cavaliers.

I feel this is directed towards my comment that this show is awful so.
Cavaliers are announced at every show as the seven-time DCI champions. Thanks announcer guy no pressure or anything right….. There’s an expectation for the Cavaliers from some people, and I happen to be one of them. Expectations, not demands. Gotta to make that clear. So yeah, they’ve disappointed me. I also said it was a design thing, not a member performance thing. Design is not meeting expectation and therefore the more than talented corps suffers competitively. 2019 I was so so happy to see them in top 6 again.They were in the top 5 in 2019.
And the top 6 as you referenced in 2018.
And the top 4 in 2017.
And the top 5 in 2016.
Again?

I remember a time when Bostons guard carried their score and people on here acted like it was the next coming of Christ. Now Cavies percussion is excelling and it’s a joke to the corps. The biases on this board are so blatant. And look Cavies are only down 1.6 to the new darling Mandarins. There’s still 3 weeks left. But that’s right, I’ve read some think they don’t even make finals.
Perc staff was the only caption staff left after 2022. Brand new brass staff, etc. Let’s see how the year runs out.

If percussion was scoring in line with everything else they would be looking at 11th
Good thing they judge the whole corps… just like they always have…

Glad to see 4th tenor back.
Glad not to see microphones hanging out of 20-30 bells.
Ending still needs a lot of cleaning and polishing.
Keep pushing men!

Wow, Colts! Awesome run!

The 5.1 sound is going in and out. When I switch back to TV speaker audio is there. Then I flip back to 5.1, and it’s there… for a minute or two… anyone else?

Crown had 24 mic’ed players at the only live show I’ve seen this year (Lisle). Phantom had at least 16.

I don’t normally do uniform critique… but Cadets look like a high school basketball team warming up for a game.

Loved the show. Hope that isn’t a permanent ending. Bring back the diamond cutter!!!!!
I’m betting a straight leg diamond cutter is getting them some grief on the sheets. I miss it too… but I’m betting there is a competitive reason it’s gone…

2019 Cavaliers is my favorite Cavies show of all time. I was at that San Bernardino show. They were the only corps that night to receive two standing ovations. California crowds absolutely loved them.
I was there too! I volunteered that whole California leg in 2019. And yes...the "left coast" ate up the Cavaliers that whole run through California.

Cavies '23 have a big fan in me and others who see the value of what they're doing. Don't let them let the scores get to them. They don't matter. They're not going to remember the scores in twenty years. They're going to remember that hey, they put a #### good show on the field that helped them bring Cavies and Cavie fans from all generations together. That's so so so much more important than a stupid number from a judge that's watched way too many drum corps shows in one day.
My son’s first year as a Cavaliers DM was the 2019 season. He MIGHT be able to tell you their numerical score at Finals.
What he can DEFINITELY tell you about that season is…* Opening the Season in California
* Conducting Wayne Bergeron with the Cavs in a street concert in Los Angeles
* Meeting Eric Whitacre at the same concert.
* The Free Day at Santa Monica Pier
* Cavaliers and SCV combining hornlines and playing an Encore of both corps songs
* Conducting a concert at Yamaha HQ
* Seeing his grandmother after her first ever drum corps show in San Bernardino
* Waking up to an unannounced detour to Niagara Falls, and the whole corps singing “Rainbow” at the Falls with a pronounced rainbow hanging over the water.
* Standing on a podium in LOS on Saturday night of DCI Finals running 5th
* Not caring they were running 5th
Scores are necessary, I suppose… but you’d be surprised how many MM’s refuse to let scores rob their joy.-

Someone mentioned in the Albeline thread that the changes made in the closer last night kind of/sort of came apart.? Not sure of the details since they haven’t been on Flo. Lol.
I’ve been asking about this too. If they had an 83 with those problems, I kinda hope it’s true. 😎

They haven’t been on video in so long, no one really has any clue what is going on.
11 days off Flo in a 7 week season has been strange indeed. As a parent of a FMM I don’t remember this happening before this year.
