ripchops Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 I talked to a friend (who's not in drum corps but has heard this from someone) that Cavaliers members don't like being called "Cavies." Is that true? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that true? It is an old school thing that is still prevalent today. I know I don't really like to be called a Cavie, but I just appreciate that people even know what drum corps is and on top of that The Cavaliers. It's mostly just seen as childish, e.g. mommy is to mother. A term that has fully been embraced by the corps has been Cavs. It reminds me of being the mom to mother and not mommy. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
