The Greens Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 2 hours ago, jjeffeory said: BTW, sorry I can't be more descriptive. There simply was so much going on in the show that I don't remember that much of the drill; only that they're great performers already. I was more trying to analyse the music. The hornline has its own distinctive sound that no other corps sounds like. Crisp trumpets, nice full baritone/trombone/tuba sound with mellos in where needed for flavor, and my it's a nice flavor! I find it refreshing that they're finding their own sound much like BD, Crown, Gino lines, Phantom, and SCV have done. Trust me, you've answered a lot and THANKS LOL....My big ask from this years Cavies was a big sound..the arrangements have been good lately, but have been thin and unlike the early 90's-early 2000's corps....I'm trying to avoid seeing the stream tomorrow, but I may peep in...I def can't wait to see it in the theater Thursday! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the Cavalier Alumni Facebook page they mentioned the timpani player wears a helmet during rehearsals because of all the action happening near him.

Thin sound has always been my complaint about the modern day Cavies. They've gotten a bit better in recent years but still not close to the fullness in sound that other top hornlines seem to have 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They said he was wearing a helmet because of the danger of all the guard exchanges. Apparently they spend more time catching other guys tosses than their own.. which sounds pretty cool :) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vhsmbdm Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 There's a note on this sign about telling someone your best "man" joke, maybe it will make it into the show. Guess we'll find out what that means tonight. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Greens Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 I was going to try and wait for Thursday, but I'm in New Orleans at a conference and I'm not sure if my flight will be delayed, so I'm watching tonight as well LOL 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
