I also remember the screams of all the visual "tricks" the Cavaliers used to score higher such as rolling on the ground during their '05 show, and of course their standing still while playing difficult music. I remember this all very clearly. I remember this as they progressed through the later part of the '00s I never got to see those 2000s Cavies shows live, but I will say that ever since about 2014 or so, the sound of the Cavies' hornline has dramatically improved, atleast over video recordings. The sound of the hornline in the 2000s was quite... thin and I suspect that had a lot more to do with some very layered arranging than the talent of the members themselves. It was a very different approach to arranging compared to, say, Carolina Crown 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like a selection of the top juniors and seniors from the local World class HS in SoCal. If this core sticks together they are going to be monsters in 2-3 years. Don’t even get me started on how young they are lol. In typical years there’s usually enough vets in the corps for me to feel like, okay, these are fellow-adults. But watching multicam last night my first thought was, Oh, I’m old! Will not be watching multicam again until MM’s start growing beards. 🙂 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I stated they look like middle to high school kids. But then it could be they're not growing beards this year? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lyndakay27 Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 Saw a video of last night's dress. The uniforms are fab IMO. Lots of evolution from Wyoming. Far to go, but lovely so far. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think someone earlier in the thread mentioned they looked/sounded like so many classic BD corps of earlier years. Very true. Color me wow'd. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm looking forward to seeing it from a higher viewpoint. I spent a lot of the time watching the drones they had going around! I don't like the yellow flag work right now. Hoping that changes some.

They look like what we expect from the Blue Devils in late June. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
