Cavies we’re amazing. Don’t think they’ll pass anyone up in the next group, but they’re very close. So happy to see them get this show this clean.

Who was last drumline to win drums in a much lower overall placing corps?  Bridgemen?

there's so much to love in the cavies show.  some nice brass moments, the percussion speaks for itself, and i feel like the music ensemble writing and programming is a huge strength of this corps.  the back half of the show loses clarity for me, especially musically, though i love the homage to past shows. 

the guard with the white flags in the middle of the corps along with the run and gun drill at the end got me.  

i'm not being negative with what i'm about to say, so please don't read it like that. 

i think it's safe to say the cavies are in a rebuilding phase, and I would love to see them hold off on all or mostly original music in the near feature.  saucedo has shown he can take themes and ostinatos form great works of others with similar writing styles to his (mctee and daugherty in 2000 for example) and make them into a cavies special.  i feel like in a rebuilding time period that would work better.

I could see them getting by Regiment. Their show is much more complex and that drum line may push them over the top. We'll see how I feel after Regiment.

Niagara Falls ending. Haha! Nostalgia. Brass and percussion doing Cavie things. Guard has gotten way better than their Atlanta run. This show just lacks the general effect and that Cavies drill that pushes the envelope
