We all (The Cadets) had our medals. I can't speak for Cavies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One can of gold spray paint goes a long way. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DFA1970 Posted May 23, 2021 Share Posted May 23, 2021 Well the Cadets went undefeated in 2000. But I've said this before tying with the Cavies at finals night probably wasn't exactly a celebration. And the reaction to ANOTHER tie after 1996 and 1999 was kinda hostile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KVG_DC Posted May 24, 2021 Share Posted May 24, 2021 I was in the stands that night. My group was in the "Cavies have this" camp. I was in the "CADETS, did you see THAT?" camp. The "no more ties" chant caught us off guard. I mean, we understood the sentiment after "ANOTHER tie?" and all but it was super hard to distinguish between those two corps that night. I felt the Cadets had a cleaner run for semis than finals. The Finals energy was great but a bit loose in the 'anything you can do, I can do better' portion. Semis was just "ARE YOU KIDDING ME?" Finals 2000 was my 'return to following DCI' after many years off and the three shows were my first reads so I was still finding all the crazy stuff going on during that section and loved it. Cavies were mesmerizing with that drill and had everyone on the edge of their seats wondering "are they gonna collide?" Even though we KNEW they weren't. In retrospect, I love that show a whole lot though for what it signaled with the Cavies's style. I suspect if I were to sit through those shows again in the stadium knowing what watching the next few years' shows from the Cavies were going to be, I'd have been in the "Cavies have this" camp. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
