I promise to be thr loudest cavies fan there Cavies were one of the early corps to hold auditions in Texas well back into the late '90's and have sponsored a show in Denton for as long. They are harvesting the fruits of their efforts. Cadets have generally had a lot of Texas representation going back to DM Rich Armstrong in the legacy years; he marched Baritone for several seasons before that. Since then a sizeable draw each season including the drum major for the past three years. Regiment also sees Texans alot.

Obviously, I lile that they recruit here, but because of that show in Denton I have never heard an encore performance from The Cavaliers in Houston. One of these darn days I am going to hear "Somewhere" live. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This might distort perceptions of how things are going to go (or are going) on an online forum. You would have had a different take on Cavies’ fan if you were here around 2006. You’d also have a different take on how they were perceived in general. Attitudes change as corps rise and fall but I do agree, some corps cultures are represented somewhat by the posters on here 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shoot, I can't imagine why someone would destroy and corps. I agree 100%. Don't get me wrong, I am all for competitive entertainment, but never at the expense of diminishing the effort that EVERY group puts on the field. Have I enjoyed watching the Cavaliers re-establish a certain level of competitiveness? Sure! Been a fan of the Cavies since I was a kid saw -my first show in 95 and have followed their progress every season since. But I honestly believe it to be a dis-service to the activity to get so consumed by the scores that that you lose sight of the hard work on display in front of you..... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't quite get the need to bicker back and forth over differences in what are clearly just plain old opinions. Will The Cavaliers end up with a medal or 4th or 5th or 6th? I've no clue. I just enjoy the content and quality of their show this year. And hope for the best. But elsewhere a few posters argue way too absolutely on these details. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I get older I find myself worrying less about the scores and just try to sit back and enjoy the amazing talent on the field. Even though I try it's still always on the back of my mind though lol, its the competitor in me. I just try to remember the mantra "it's only drum corps" "it's only drum corps" "it's only drum corps". i do see that at the end of the season when all is said and done and the scores have been awarded,that when I sit back and watch the blu rays is the time when I truely start to enjoy the season. It's the time when I really decide my favorites. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
