It was much more enjoyable to watch him in the Marching Illini, 😂. I think I would have been okay if I’d been a regular old mom but I marched myself. Made me crazy. Well I am a regular old dad. I just dropped him off at rehearsal and I am about to go crazy lol. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They really ramped things up at the end of the 2010s - always looking for new competitors in that top 8. Hoping for a moment like they had in their 2021 production @7:22. (Don't know the title) That movement was a lot of fun in the blast zone with their drum major!

I had this moment 5 years ago with my son marching his first DCI show with the Cavaliers. I was WAY more nervous than he ever seemed to be. He aged out last year and will be with me in the stands Tuesday night in Detroit. Don't blink! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BD being the powerhouse is no great prediction, but SCV could be another matter. They will have a new visual staff and the departures of previous staff were said to be less than peaceful. How this will impact the rest of the staff, not to mention marching members remains to be see. Yeah. I look for the best from them regardless, whatever that best may be.

I am a nervous wreck, my son is just chilling like it's another day lol. Though it's not a "first DCI show" story, it was very early in his first year that I spoke to him after a show and he was unusually quiet. About the third time I asked him "Did you have a good run?" he said "Honestly Dad, no. On the very first "horns up" I flipped my mouthpiece out of the horn and off into the night and marched the whole show without playing". After that, he was STILL chill at pre-show...but he did put an extra twist on the mouthpiece. What's funny ( and I wish I could find it), was the Cavaliers media team released a video about a week later and there was a shot from inside the brass huddle outside a show with a staffer yelling..."All right men...let's get 'em! HAS EVERYONE GOT THEIR MOUTHPIECES IN?! " My wife and I got an extra chuckle out of that. When it's all over and he's sitting next to you in the stands again instead of being on the field...he's gonna have a lot of funny stories. 🙂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
