The best Cavalier shows of all time needed no explaining. Soooo...... crowns show didn’t need explaining? cadets show didn’t need explaining? im gonna take a wild guess that SCVs show might need a little explaining. I cant even list how many Blue Devils championship shows needed some explaining. I think we should all wait to see the Cavaliers show. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best part is the music is absolutely amazing, the brass and drumline are even better this year but the front line is phenomenal! I was in awe after I saw them live at the sendoff show.... just can't wait to see it all together. I'm so excited for a great 2019 season! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not going to read a novel to understand anyone's show. I just watch it all and judge the design. That's it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This show is a major step up for them in both design and execution. 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjoakes Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 Can see Cavies marching to on deck spot. Those white sleeves and dark vests look classy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Jake W. Posted June 22, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted June 22, 2019 Uh....WOW. Good quality video is up and count me as highly impressed. Two components really floored me: A) The visual design. I would absolutely put it on par with all of the top groups in terms of freshness. It's just....sleek. Terrific staging moments with the railroad trusses, and tons of nonstop drill. The uniforms and the entire top to bottom visual package is just so streamlined, and it really MOVES. Guard writing is spectacular. And, despite not a speck of green on the field, if you blindly showed me this show, I think I'd pretty easily be able to guess it's Cavies. I can't place it exactly, but there's that visual-driven, masculine element to the show that easily identifies the corps. B) THE BRASS THE BRASS THE BRASS. Full confession, Cavies have never been my favorite corps, and when playing drum corps shows to model to students beautiful brass ensemble sounds, they uh...well, have never been near the top of that pack for me. Power, yes; richness & tone quality, no. All that changed last year with the new brass staff, and it appears they have jettisoned that drive to improve the brass quality into another realm. THEY SOUND SO SO SO GOOD ALREADY! I was nodding along loving everything and then the "Gorgon" opening line returned at the end and just eviscerated my expectations. I actually said out loud to no one "this closer is why they won brass over BD tonight". Ah hell, C) as well --- that ballad that just keeps building and building. Despite really enjoying their new direction, one of my few complaints has been a lack of defined ballad, or, we just have to play some obligatory slow stuff now. Not so this year. Talk about musical!! I truly thought it would end three or four separate times, but it just kept building. So, I've loved their 2016+ direction, and I enjoyed last year's show, but this program truly feels like the evolutionary step that should have happened last year. Incredibly fresh, current, classy, masculine....classic Cavaliers. They finally feel ready to hang at the top again. Went back to watch that ballad again. So. So. So. Good. That brass writing and the tension & building is masterful. 9 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terri Schehr Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 Saw the videos of the top four. Whoa, daddy. I’ll bet it’s been a while since Cavies beat Devils in brass. Congratulations! 🎊 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
