Cappybara Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 Please...It's the poster Cappy. 9 out of 10 things he/she mentions about the Cavaliers is negative (ie...saying and I quote "The Cavies show sucks. I hate it" in the thumbs up thread). I've just come to expect it. I understand we all have our preferences and our favorite corps, but seriously come on. I usually just try to ignore it. Actually not true. It's just that Cavies shows are very polarizing for me. I loved Cavies 2014, 2011, 2010, 2008, 2006 (well, most of mid 2000's Cavies) and then really haven't liked other shows such as 2015, 2016, 2001, 1995 etc. Just because I haven't had anything positive to say about Cavies recently doesn't mean I hate them. They just haven't been putting out a product lately that I enjoy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cappybara Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 Cavaliers 2002 was dirty?! I've watched it on high cam a million times and always marvel at how well that incredible drill was marched. It's just my opinion, no need to get so antsy. When talking about finalist corps, the word "dirty" is relative since corps at that stage would definitely still be a lot cleaner than they were at the beginning of the season.

Tobias Posted August 5, 2016 Author Share Posted August 5, 2016 In spite of the electronics malfunction to start the show (when have we heard that one before?), Cadets have been tenacious in pulling out all the stops with this show. The storyline makes sense now as the awakened people triumph over the statues - evident by the staging of the guard. One question I have is why does the violinist end as a statue at the end? Seems like she never awakens like the rest of them. I expect Cadets to leap over SCV by season's end. Wow! Thanks for the kind words. Not an ideal scenario Cadets coming out such a train wreck BUT they've worked really hard to try to turn it around and now with all the changes, will work very hard to get the feet Cadet clean by next Friday/Saturday night. Hopefully judges keeping watching each night's performance and aren't influenced by the early/mid season version of the CADETS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was expecting her to "awaken" but either way, I thought it was a very good show from them last night. I cringed at the electronics malfunction at the beginning though lol... I like the end where the statue guy and the human were fighting at the end (and the sound effects associated with it). Pretty cool moment. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cappybara Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 I hate to be the bearer of positive news, but the show last night was fantastic. Yes. Cadets have some design issues and I am sad that they're not in the upper tier (because frankly, let's be honest, I am accustomed to seeing them up there and want them there again), but last night, they showed some vast improvement from what I have seen on the videos. This is my first time I have seen them live (was supposed to see them in Clifton, but you all know my fiasco with that) and I was impressed with how loud they were; that drumline is freaking fantastic!!! They need to get those FEET TOGETHER!!!! They are not marching as well as I am used to seeing, but I think a lot of it may have to do with the new visual staff (just speculating though). But all in all, I am pretty excited to see them improving. Also, I do not think the guard is as bad as people are making them out to be. Last night was the cleanest I have seen them all season; I couldn't really take my eyes off them throughout the night. The crowd around my section loved them. You can take that with a grain of salt as I am sure most of the naysayers will. Keep it going Cadets and KEEP CLEANING! You're improving and people can see it. Lately... So what? THE MAJORITY OF PEOPLE on this site are fixated on scores so let's just stop limiting it just to Cadets fans. Thank you. A freaking mess. Yeah I will disrespectfully disagree with you but whatever. It's a variation on opinion. By the way, I cannot wait to see BD next week. I have heard great things about their show. Yeah, we weren't really that clean finals night as we normally were throughout that season. I think quarters night was the cleanest we were the entire season. THAT was our greatest show. I loved that performance. I'm a little confused about the comments on Cadets' guard too. I don't really know much about guard but they looked pretty fantastic live in Annapolis and they were dealing with some nasty wind going through the stadium.

I don't really know much about guard but they looked pretty fantastic live in Annapolis and they were dealing with some nasty wind going through the stadium. I do not profess to know anything about how to stage a guard line, but I thought they had quite a few moments where your attention could be focused on them, especially in the ballad and toward the end of the show. But I'll leave the staging comments to the guard professionals. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Dixon Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 It's just my opinion, no need to get so antsy. When talking about finalist corps, the word "dirty" is relative since corps at that stage would definitely still be a lot cleaner than they were at the beginning of the season. You obviously were not there. The 92 cavaliers were NOT dirty. It is frankly ridiculous that you also listed Star 91. You need to stop basing things on old YouTube videos and realize a lot of us were around that entire season in person. I was on the 91 and 92 tours all summer. Those were not dirty corps. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
