Not sure of the details since they haven’t been on Flo. Lol. I’ve been asking about this too. If they had an 83 with those problems, I kinda hope it’s true. 😎 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't let them let the scores get to them. They don't matter. They're not going to remember the scores in twenty years. They're going to remember that hey, they put a #### good show on the field that helped them bring Cavies and Cavie fans from all generations together. That's so so so much more important than a stupid number from a judge that's watched way too many drum corps shows in one day. My son’s first year as a Cavaliers DM was the 2019 season. He MIGHT be able to tell you their numerical score at Finals. What he can DEFINITELY tell you about that season is… * Opening the Season in California * Conducting Wayne Bergeron with the Cavs in a street concert in Los Angeles * Meeting Eric Whitacre at the same concert. * The Free Day at Santa Monica Pier * Cavaliers and SCV combining hornlines and playing an Encore of both corps songs * Conducting a concert at Yamaha HQ * Seeing his grandmother after her first ever drum corps show in San Bernardino * Waking up to an unannounced detour to Niagara Falls, and the whole corps singing “Rainbow” at the Falls with a pronounced rainbow hanging over the water. * Standing on a podium in LOS on Saturday night of DCI Finals running 5th * Not caring they were running 5th Scores are necessary, I suppose… but you’d be surprised how many MM’s refuse to let scores rob their joy.

DCI Fan 9287928734 Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 Watching the 1995 Planets show right now. Gives me chills. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeN Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 Love it! I can pretty much hum every Cavaliers show from 1989-2008 at you on demand. And for some reason, also Men are From Mars. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was at that San Bernardino show. They were the only corps that night to receive two standing ovations. California crowds absolutely loved them. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yes...the "left coast" ate up the Cavaliers that whole run through California. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueStainGlass Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 (edited) My respect to all Cavies alums/fans here not being doom and gloom like I see on facebook Edited July 20, 2023 by BlueStainGlass 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnDF Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 I remember that year too... I mostly remember how excited my kid was to finally see them live. He even bought a couple of their t-shirts at the show, they were always his favorite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Euph74 Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 I love everything the Cavaliers have stood for in their history. I have no doubt the members are working tirelessly and hope they are rewarded with a life changing summer regardless of placement. I have heard one of the lead brass instructors had to depart the corps in recent days. Not sure of the details, but hope all is well for the boys.
