This makes no sense to me whatsoever. Nothing against bloo, but that's a 3rd or 4th place drum line. Its called peaking at the right time. Not so easy to do.

Whiskey Posted August 14, 2022 Share Posted August 14, 2022 There’s a time and a place to debate everything later. Attending the show tonight was something special. I partied afterwards tonight with various individuals with different corps affiliations. No bickering, no debates, just joy to be celebrating one of the best finals on record. Sharing war stories, history and many things in common from generations of participation in the activity. Congratulations to all the corps! 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No bronze is awarded What the hell. Give the bronze to Crown anyway. They deserved it. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BD can do a whole show on hoverboards while playing kazoos and somehow people will still say it’s the “same formula”. Such a tired argument. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I guess you are saying that SCV who got 4th in 2001 should have been GIVEN it anyway when BD and Cadets tied for 2nd as well... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PopcornEater1963 Posted August 14, 2022 Share Posted August 14, 2022 Loved all the corps...best 12 to 1 show at Finals I've ever seen. My first Finals was in 1978. For us Cavaliers enthusiasts/fans/parents of former and current members...I can't help but think "what if" when it comes to a COVID outbreak, but the more I've pondered over it, if there's a silver lining to having 35 members knocked out over 12 days, it's that the world got to see you fight like warrior poets to get back in the mix. Final thoughts from a Cavaliers parents' blog... We weren’t on the tour with you So there’s know way we could know The day-to-day you’ve just been through To bring the world this show From shooters in Chicago That canceled your parades To the first case of COVID And the havoc that it made To Texas tours and brutal heat And free days in a bubble To judge's sheets, aching feet To rehearsal! On the double! But there were SOME things that we COULD see Without being on the tour A spirit of resilience Even as your ranks grew fewer A heart that wouldn’t put it down Even though it may have crossed your mind A spirit to improve your sound And charge back from behind By Indy you were whole again The Green Machine returns! We knew the volume would be “full send” And the scores would be hard-earned And in the end, the final run You delivered your best go With screaming solos, incredible drill And drums who stole the show As your intense faces took the field It was obvious to see The brotherhood was finally healed The show came off with glee! And when the final note was done The brass echo in the air You realize you’d already won Just by being there No score, no judge, no screaming fan Can take from you what’s due You’re the few, the proud, best in the land A Cavalier … from ’22 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
