ThePlanets Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 What a fun show! I am looking forward to seeing it from the top on Friday in Indy! I think I missed a lot being upfront. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cavaliers are about a year away from competing for the top prize. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will all be enjoyed this week! Bit of background - back when DCM disbanded, I got the chance to interview Jeff Fiedler for DCP to talk about it. (Yes, I may have let my fanboy flag fly.) One of the random stories he told though was about a Florida corps that basically ran out of food for a period of tour. Cavies stepped up and fed both of their corps until it got sorted out. Having done so much corps cooking the last few years, I can't imagine the looks on the volunteers faces when told they were now cooking for 350, but they didn't hesitate and the Cavs went above and beyond to do what was right. Not *the* reason I love the Cavs, but it's *a* reason. Mike 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Very cool. i guess the school that hosted Cavies in Rome made them too much lot food so they were looking for someone to take it - we lucked out! We served the fancy pasta today for lunch. We meant to serve all of the fancy Italian bread today, but the raccoons in Indy had other plans for it last night. They ate like one piece from every loaf. It looked like a bread bomb went off outside the trailer. Stinking varmints. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeN Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 Hah, "hello, random Drum Corps - would you like our extra food?" Bet they didn't have to finish the sentence... Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripchops Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 I saw a picture on a Facebook of the boys rehearsing and I'm 99% sure they're at Beech Grove High School right now which is confusing because I thought their rehearsal site was at Depauw. I want to see them tomorrow night but now I'm not even sure where they'll be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They rehearsed on Finals Day Indoor at DePauwe last year because it was pouring rain. Hopefully the corps keeps us updated through Facebook and twitter. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it might be a little late in the game to change the ending, as much as I'd like to see it happen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
