My father sold my brother and I some land, so I have to maintain my fruit trees, I take care of my neighbors horses (on occasion... but a lot lol), work a full time job, and thr semester is starting up. I promise that I'm following scores and I'm proud of the green machine! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes sir. If you want something in life, well, I firmly believe you gotta work hard to get there. The way I see it... if I'm going to be the next director of The Cavaliers I gotta have the work load. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you go 2 weeks without full ensemble rehearsals with as many as 39 members out it's difficult to put it all back together and still clean in time for Finals. Forget about making major changes or tweaks that may be needed. You're just struggling to clean. Missing 2 weeks of rehearsal is a big deal, and during that time your only real performance experiences were stand-still concerts. When I think of it that way I am amazed by their determination to still make this show work come Finals. Not sure if they will pass Blue Stars or Cadets but I would not write-it off. Well, this design team seems to flop quite a bit, so I'm just tired of it. I believe they would have faded anyway; you can polish a terd, but it still is a terd. Same with "game on" and the other flop shows starting in 2012. We can blame illness or we can acknowledge the visual and guard problems that plague this corps. Their historic strengths have been turned into weakness that kill ge, visual, and guard scores. The drums drum well, the brass play well, but they're killed by design. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hook'emCavies Posted August 8, 2022 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2022 I do have some general thoughts about, well, everything. I'm just waiting towards finals night. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjeffeory Posted August 8, 2022 Report Share Posted August 8, 2022 I do apologize to everyone for being so frustrated. It just sucks to see wasted potential. Even if they place 6th in finals, it's wasted potential. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
