cavies79 Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 I would like to add that the Cavies became the dynasty they are when they moved to Rosemont. The support of the mayor and city has helped them to have the financial support necessary to be successful. Also, Superman Jeff Fiedler has done an outstanding job as corps director. Mr. Fiedler has been able to put together the right team. Their overal design team, administration, and captions are very talented and dedicated to the corps. Finally, the members are top notch gentlemen, who work hard and are keeping the traditions of the Green Machine alive and well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom&Phitch Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 By the way, is this drill move you're talking about the one at the end of Blowing Off Steam?? (before swing swing swing begins) yes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meaghatron Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 OOPs, they used an amplified guard last year... I know the guard uniform had a headset microphone, but they weren't turned on or anything. It was merely decoration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rut-roh Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 yes A prime example of a corps playing it smart. As you said, there were a boatload of notes during that twelve counts, but only the mellophones were playing. So that leaves the other 50+ people of the hornline with only drill responsibilities. The crowd hears lots of notes, they see crazy drill, it works, they go nuts, and the staff only has to worry about getting twelve (at the most) musicians to play while moving there. Pretty smart on their part. Well done. Loved it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScribeToo Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 jayzer, getting defensive, said "work smarter not harder" as a rebuttal Come on.. the guy wrote FOUR WORDS and from that you surmised he was "getting defensive?" "Work smarter, not harder" is a work ethic they live at Cavaliers. Why would saying so mean he was being "defensive?" as for programmed breaks and working smarter, not harder.. I was sitting in the office the other night admiring that impressive Jim Ott award on the display case thinking just how effective their brass program has become over the past series of years.. so I guess the proof of the pudding really is in the eating..

Stef maybe it's the imaginary tone of voice and sarcasm i hear while reading his posts (me thinking that isn't completely unwarrented given the poster) he could have explained it a little bit more...

ScribeToo Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 OOPs, they used an amplified guard last year. A fantastic use too, if there is such a thing. Umm.. pretty sure you are incorrect on that. The mic'd sound effects all came from the pit. The guard was only wearing a headpiece that LOOKED like it had a mic. They weren't hooked up to anything (I help out the sewing crew on occasion).

They all have tremendous examples of simultaneous responsibilities. And they all have examples of "ehhhh, not so much." They all work hard. And in a matter of speaking, they all work smart. Especially if you're contending for a title year in and year out the way the Cadets, Cavaliers, and Blue Devils have for the past several years. There are three examples of very smart, very hard working drum corps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
