That’s a massive asset for Cavaliers right now. Why would you take that out ? 😎 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m trying to jog my memory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jjeffeory Posted July 9, 2023 Share Posted July 9, 2023 I kinda called this when I saw Cavaliers in Adrian several weeks ago. They'll clean, adjust, water, add, layer, and all of that, but the percussion section is top 5, and solidly. It's going to help them get through the staff changes and growing pains, I hope. I'm just trying to keep things positive. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phantom was 8th in Percussion tonite however.( lost to Colts, Troopers in Percussion for example ). Phantom has a great show, good music and visuals, but they're in a different tier overall than Crown, Bloo, BAC, and BD, so lets not get ahead of ourselves. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jjeffeory Posted July 9, 2023 Share Posted July 9, 2023 Back in the jurassic era of the 80s, when Cadets were in their dynasty years, they'd come out dirtier than a skunk, and end up winning. This feels like the Cavaliers this year. Who knows how it'll end, but it's a good story. DCI loves a good story... $$$ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corps8294 Posted July 9, 2023 Share Posted July 9, 2023 I think it's more a case of the Blue Stars being overestimated, this year. I had very high hopes for them and they aren't really clicking in any of the captions. GE and Vis aren't all that great, their hornline is taking a hit, score wise, now, and their percussion has been an ongoing issue. They took a creative risk, this year, and for a variety of reasons it's just not working. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
