That the person who made the video is a joker, and gets off on being the center of attention, and that they really dislike the Cavalier style. At least that is what I got out of it. I could be wrong......I have been in the past.

joker yes at times..

attention no.

dislikes the cavies style yes.. but that wasnt the point of the video.

there may be differences because of height.. but at least with a straight leg approach, everyone will still LOOK THE SAME regardless of stepsize.

Here's a little visual you can do at your office. Take a post it and draw a triangle on the left side with the bottom of the triangle one-half inch in length and the top of the triangle all the way up to the top of the post it. Now, fold the post it in half and draw another triangle with the base being one half inch and the top hitting the fold.

Do the triangles look the same?

This example shows why two people with varying heights look different marching the same step size with straight legs. The angle between the legs is different.

Now, the cavaliers are not much different. There are diffences in look in any marching ensemble unless you all have the same inseam and foot size.

I was a 6' 8" Cavavalier Euph. and a 6'7" Trooper. (I grew an inch between summers).

I can honestly say I fit the ensemble much better using the Cavalier style. Because we all used the same technique which, IMO, places more emphasis on the look the knees and feet verses the angle of the legs when comparing individuals to each other.

Now as far as everybody having the same technique and level of perfection, well, I'll leave that up to your agenda... err... opinion.

Is it sad that I'm just a kid and I find what's going on here pretty childish?

Argument for argument's sake.
