DrumManTx Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 Stopped by Cavaliers last Saturday night to check in on them and see what they're doing. I have no idea how anyone else is shaping up, but this show, so far, anyway, is showing a much more cohesive design approach (and much more adult ideas) than the last few years. There's also a lot of full guard rifle work that, when clean, will help pull a lot of eyeballs in their direction, and a long (30, maybe 45 second) segment of the opener where the bass drums are the center of the battery contribution that should get drummers jazzed about where they're going, percussion-wise. The show feels much more modern in approach than the last few years, but still recognizably Cavalier in terms of the visual writing. They had about 6 or 7 minutes of the show on the field, and what's there already looks cleaner and more polished than what they were showing at season opening last year. I'm not predicting anything, but wouldn't be surprised if this isn't a top 6, possibly top 5 show come the end of the season. In any case, it's a good re-set for a corps who badly needed one. Thanks for the report! That seems to be the consensus of a few people, more modern, more mature, and farther ahead. I'm looking forward to seeing if that holds true when I see the show. I'm very interested in their props, the Facebook photos of them have me very intrigued. And 30 - 45 second of bass drum? Me likey. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noahsigs Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 I predict that The Battalion, while having a small tour, will have one of the most successful first year tours since Star. I also expect that River City Rhythm will improve heavily. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
