I'll write more later but the highlight of the show was the Cavaliers encorps when they ran up into the stands. @Hook'emCavies you would have been in heaven! I saw the Encore on the Cavaliers Patreon page...so much fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A good many people give a great deal of time, money, etc. to the organization. It’s very concerning if no one can explain why the #### Boston’s percussion scores continue to sink. Could it be that they just aren't playing well? Seems the most simple and obvious explanation to me. Not the first judge to note that in the last couple of week. Time, money, etc. have nothing to do with drumsticks hitting the head of a drum, mallets hitting the marimba, etc. The notion that time and money have anything to do with their Percussion score is very curious. Judges are supposed to call it like they see it. Regardless of the pedigree, the uniform, or the booster support. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow, you must be really old if you fought in that war. Also, you must have quite extensive research capabilities to know the history of all 8 great great grandfathers of another poster. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something must be very wrong. 22 minutes ago, PopcornEater1963 said: Time, money, etc. have nothing to do with drumsticks hitting the head of a drum, mallets hitting the marimba, etc. The notion that time and money have anything to do with their Percussion score is very curious.

Volunteers, donors, etc. Do the MMs have what they need to be competitive? I’m for judges calling it as they see it. I believe they hear problems. I want the staff and kids to have whatever they need. Seeing the scores nosedive is distressing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I struggled last season watching the Cavaliers slide backwards in Brass ratings in the last two weeks of the season. So i totally understand. I misread your comments. Peace. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
