I like that they're bringing more of the old DCI back instead of straight WGI on the field

Putting it that way reminds me of Cadets 88; high perc performance score at Finals with a 14.9 and a very musically subtle book.

I love how the majority of people in these comments are only capable of seeing those two options.

@@moobysnaxx6086yes that part! This just feels and sounds so much like old school cavies…but modernized. Just love it all

I don't see anything special. What top 5 line couldn't play this kindergarten book perfect?

Man, i feel what you're saying. But damn. They might even be cleaner than the 2000 line. Vid quality from then makes it hard to tell, though. The writing, however, feels like some throwback to the 80s, to me. Either way, not a criticism from me. Those Kuhn books are mind bending, even by today's standards. This writing feels very meat and potatoes, and I love it. So musical.

Absolutely agree.

That’s a funny and accurate observation!

It's really not. Compare this book to Boston's book it's not even in the same league. You are correct it is difficult to play things with odd spacing etc but this isn't that. This is lots of space with easy notes. Drum break is nice but eighty percent of the book is easier than most top five lines excersise routine

No body gives a shit about how hard the book if it just sounds like noise and is not musical. There is a reason they do not win. It is not clean on the move and does not add to the show. Its difficult just to be difficult, without a musical purpose. Judges know better. Hence why SCV smokes them every year. @@marklower007

I've been saying this for years. I'm tired of books that are cluttered with notes and have no sense of groove or direction. White noise chops rams. This book was tasty and had beef, groove, and impacts in all the right spots. Spot-on, Cavies and congratulations!

​@marklower007 they aren't judged on exercises or the lot show. Watch the Cavies show with the front ensemble. They had the best total on the field package

This book is dumb easy compared to bd and Boston. Granted they played it piss clean because it’s piss easy in comparison. Understanding that it goes well with the whole ensemble. But the same can be said for the top 5 corps.

After listening to this and reading comments about the book, I immediately went to Star’s ‘93 show thinking, “these people just don’t know how similarly great this book is to Star.” Came back to the comments and saw yours. My faith has been restored in old school Corps fans. *tips hat* I saw that show in ‘93, and as a huge fan of the Cadets, I was even surprised by the finals scores.

You beat me to it! I was thinking the exact same thing when I saw this. And the execution of this book is *amazingly* clean!

@@neccrownI’m a Cadets alum that marched in ‘93. I know firsthand, bro…🤦🏾‍♂️

@@pmillergroove1 great year, of course; congrats! I knew a few people from '93 and through '95 on the line and on the staff. My best friend, came up with the name Holy Bass in '94.

Sad times for sure! Thanks for all the footage though!

Cavaliers got shafted on their warmups for sure

Full corps thing maybe

See my issue here is what the hell is the point of having separate scores for content and achievement if a book that is clearly less difficult than a couple others is going to win straight 1sts in content? Why is the distinction there if it’s not going to be represented in scores? And don’t get me wrong, I’m super happy they won, it’s incredible, I love that they got credit for it despite their overall placement, I wish that happened more often. But I’ve also had several people who are more qualified than me say similar things, that this book is not particularly difficult. So either they’re wrong, the judges were wrong, or the scoring system is broken, I don’t know.

Yea, unfortunately the audio gets a little wide towards the last minute or so but we don’t wanna mess with the algorithm right now. Most of the video is fine but this is definitely something we’ll fix in the near future and reupload. Cheers!

@@agedoutpodcast appreciate ya'll🍻

I think it was custom

Honestly I think that stuff is more for the drum major. Most drum majors are very familiar with the percussion book so that they can understand how it relates to the horn book. At least that’s how it was for us at Crown when I was there.

nah its a little guy solo. lol

You must be a professional tick caller, fantastic eye.

@@simonslaglethanks mate!

Seen but not heard…..thats control

@@901.design6 umm no it can be heard too. The single R L on reentry is an audible tick.

Can’t tell if this is a joke or not but no, the Cavaliers still do not accept female members. They’re the only corps left that doesn’t. It’s very dumb and I hope they change it soon. Not all traditions are valuable, plenty of them are stupid. As for whether they take gay men, yeah, probably, how the hell would they screen for that?

Have u talked to a male guard member in the last 40 years?

@@1bird_dI don’t think they have 💀

what does lgbt have to do with his💀

Bro quit tripping lol. Go march some where and gain experience

Have you ever won a Sanford???. If you have.... enjoy your memories If not then let them enjoy the work they put in and their time... Sometimes when ones words are no better than silence ....one should keep silent!!!!!

Upload a video of you playing it perfect for us to see then :)

Come on tough guy…..where you at?

Primarily to ensure he's In time with the drumline. They are the controllers of tempo for the entire show, so if his hands are with the drumline, then the rest of the corps will be in time as well.

Wizard of oz? Not sure where you got that from. Nothing in the show was about the wizard of oz.

Somewhere Over the Rainbow is their corps song

My gosh some people are just too young not to embarrass themselves.
