Just one day is all I could give, and they have spring training about 45 minutes away from me. It was a nice experience - lots of work in the kitchen - but great to get a bit of a feel for the organization. Everyone was welcoming, making it very easy to plug in and help out. You could always think of volunteering as part of a holiday. 1, 2, 3 days or so with The Cavaliers while also doing something else. The corps can absolutely use any assistance you want to offer. Not a bad idea. I thought about asking and seeing if they need help in SA. It would be an awesome experience! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They always need help and it doesn't matter if it's for one day, a week, a month, etc. You'd be able to watch the Houston show then hop on the volunteer bus with your luggage after it's over. Book a flight for whatever day you need to get back home and they'll take you to the airport. https://cavaliers.org/volunteer Oh, that would be awesome!

Hook'emCavies Posted July 2, 2017 Author Share Posted July 2, 2017 Anyone at the show last night? How did the corps do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While it's hard to see the details I thought they sounded pretty darn good. You can hear some of the changes in the arrangements they've made over the last week as well. Percussion and guard are amazing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought they did great. The theme is really coming together for me. It really does remind me of Mad World. That show started the season clunky, unpolished, and hard to read, but as the season progressed it came together from beginning to end. This show is starting to do that IMO. Yes, there are still some rough transitions but they've already done a nice job of correcting a few issues in just the last week. The brass appears to be gaining more confidence in their performance. The two really tough passages in the opener and "drum feature" are better, still some work to do, but it will get there. The guard for me really sells this show. It will be nice to get full judging panels again so we can see how their caption is being scored against other groups. Still not completely sold on the closer but boy did they let it rip during the last push of My Way when the brass rushes the sideline. I'm sure they'll be an altered ending eventually but for now it's okay. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't remember the last season the boys didn't have a new/more final ending. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the final trianglular drill was always the last set of the show, but unless I'm mistaken, the color guard member "mountain climbing" over the brass players wasn't added until mid season. (That wasn't really the ending but it did lead into the final push) Edited July 2, 2017 by vhsmbdm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
