During the Marching Roundtable podcast episode featuring the entire design team (from June), it was implied by Mac that this was the first of many years this team would design together ( something to the effect of the immediate chemistry of the designers bodes well for what they can accomplish in the future together).

The visual design just seemed awkward or cluttered? I would love to see them back to the bent leg marching! The straight leg change has not paid off. Once they got it cleaned up I really enjoyed this years visual program. It would be great to get Michael Gaines back.. he is a genius, although I wasn't a huge fan of his work at SCV. Especially '19 and '22. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcjordansc Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 Winning percussion puts the Cavies in the best position to move up and challenge the top four. You have to be able to win a caption before you can contend at the top. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orwellian Wiress Posted August 16, 2023 Share Posted August 16, 2023 If they open it with the beat drop from the end of 2000, this will be my favorite show this year and the funniest thing a corps has ever done since the BD sound check Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fighterkit Posted August 16, 2023 Share Posted August 16, 2023 Would love to see the Cavaliers continue to move up. I started a doubter at the beginning of the season but they opened my eyes. And that drumline was #### clean 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The gap between percussion and brass performance like that shouldn't be acceptable. Unless. The bossed and leadership is doing what they have indicated. Testing new methods of sound production in brass using. Less amplification and experimenting with professional area methods used by top pop performers. Working toward the future which can cause some loss off progress until they hit the right methods. And this season was for the cavies the ending of an old guard of staffing and building anew. I noticed much improvement over last year in all areas. In addition, the 75 anniversary marks a new era for sll cavaliers including the fans. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hook'emCavies Posted August 30, 2023 Author Share Posted August 30, 2023 Monte Mast is retiring after 2024 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Milano Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 The transition to a new Executive Director and new Corps Directors (after the 2024 season) has been in the planning stage for two years. It is clearly amicable and well thought out. A tremendous job has been done by both of these fine gentlemen (Monte Mast and Dr. Michael Vaugh). The Board of Directors also just elected new leadership roles, as has been planned for the last several years preparing for succession. They will now get to guide the selection and onboarding of their two new main executive staff members. And, the new ED and corps director will certainly be brought on with ample time to assimilate during the 2024 season so as to know the culture and be prepared for season-ending decision making responsibilities for the 2025 season. Proud to know all of these fine people, including the just exiting board president, Chris Hartowicz, who oversaw and shepherded the organization through some difficult, though publicly quiet challenges, with the help of many excellent partners. This, IMHO (with 40 years of non-profit management, fundraising, and board development professional background) is how transition and excellence can go hand in hand. Thanks to all involved for loving my corps as much as I do. Splooie! 3 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
