littlejaw Posted May 30, 2016 Author Share Posted May 30, 2016 With regards to props, am I the only one who can see the Cavaliers using TV screens that contain propaganda messages (a la Blue Springs HS 2015)? Granted, though, that might detract from the performers' abilities... I could definitely see this implemented, would be really cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cavie74 Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 (edited) I watched about an hour of Cavalier rehearsal Monday. I can tell you that the opening statement builds and builds to a "YEAH! We have something to say!" The choreography is physically demanding, the pacing was high energy. There are visual gags by the performers that are distinctly Cavaliers. Everything you see and hear reinforces that Cavalier identity. Talking to the performers, they tell me they've learned the drill and full visuals to about half the show. They're pretty stoked about how much it represents the Cavalier style. Edited June 1, 2016 by Cavie74 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GREENBLUE Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 Just wanted to include this in the thread. This was my response to those who are in an uproar of MLK being included in the Propaganda video teaser released by the Cavaliers. "What we define as propoganda may just be in the eye of the beholder. In 1963 when the speech was given many black radical leaders, some government politicians and residents in the south felt that the speech was taken to extremes. In fact, after the speech, the FBI deemed King a major enemy of the United States. As quoted below from a report. "In the light of King's powerful demagogic speech yesterday he stands head and shoulders above all other Negro leaders put together when it comes to influencing great masses of Negroes. We must mark him now, if we have not done so before, as the most dangerous Negro of the future in this Nation from the standpoint of communism, the Negro and national security." My point....looking back, we can see the importance of the speech. But at the time some in our country viewed it as ...well... Propaganda. Maybe the Cavies weren't as far off in the inclusion as some thought?" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BRASSO Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 (edited) Just wanted to include this in the thread. This was my response to those who are in an uproar of MLK being included in the Propaganda video teaser released by the Cavaliers. "What we define as propoganda may just be in the eye of the beholder. Both the Left and the Right sometimes engage in " Propaganda " as an effective method to advance their agenda. Its Machiavellian in its approach, ie the End Justifies the Means. MLK was the recipient of some " propaganda ". No question about that. But the Left went after Herbert Hoover at the FBI who kept tails on MLK and said things about Hoover that was knowingly untrue Leftist agenda driven " propaganda " too. The key is to recognize manipulation from all sides, imo, and to be fully aware that its present. Edited June 1, 2016 by BRASSO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kennesaw Mt. did a variation of this at least 10 years ago with screaning that would much match the movie-theater size TVs some are now using for their college dorms and home video centers. It worked quite well at LOS for Grand Nationals then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
