Hrothgar15 Posted February 11, 2006 Share Posted February 11, 2006 (edited) Christmas Tree pull in Cavies 91 at the end of the show. One of my all time favorite drum corps moments.~>conner Ahhh!!! I love that! The four points of the star keep rotating until they magically form that block, which grows into the huge triangle, horns go down as the corps hightails it to the middle of the field to form two vertical lines as the drumline pounds away the "Gloria" theme from the '89 show (nice little homage signifying the end of the '89-'91 trilogy)...you think they're done, but the lines keep moving, and the huge triangle emerges but upside down, they keep pushing, whip their horns up and belt out the rest of the show...no one in the audience is sitting at this point. Keep in mind this is all accompanied by a HUGE drum corps hornline sound ("DAHHHH!!!!!!!!!!! DAHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!! DAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!") for the entire ending, whereas these past few years the most I can expect from them is an in tune, in tone, mezzo-forte ("Dah. Dah. Dah." <**>)...the antithesis of drum corps. But this show...what a great way to finish off the greatest three years in Cavaliers history. Now THAT is a Cavaliers show.

Still pretty cool move, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!") for the entire ending, whereas these past few years the most I can expect from them is an in tune, in tone, mezzo-forte ("Dah. Dah. Dah." )...the antithesis of drum corps. Interesting, I never thought playing in tune with good tone quality was a bad thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BorisTS Posted February 12, 2006 Share Posted February 12, 2006 Interesting, I never thought playing in tune with good tone quality was a bad thing. I believe he's referring to those who respond to arguments that modern hornlines aren't as loud by saying "but they have a good tone and are in tune," as if it weren't possible to play loud AND in tune and with good tone (although it is certainly more difficult to achieve).
