early season performance before the cool ending with the crown set

@@literallymaynard I see, thanks! I wondered why I didn't hear the trumpets

Haha

ok boomer

Literally the most close minded opinion I've ever heard. You obviously haven't heard the full fidelity recordings of modern shows. I blast that shit in my car all the time and it's amazing. DCI was NEVER bad at any point. The classic shows were the foundation of what we have now. Rooted in the Military D&B units. However the activity had to evolve with the times. If they hadn't, the fanbase would grow smaller and smaller as they would find other mediums to express their musical abilities in a more up-to-date way. Also, this was their first competitive performance of the 2017 season, and they got second place. As well, I got to see this show in person later in the season and it was absolutely incredible. The brass was so clean and powerful, there's a reason they placed 3rd in finals and won Best Brass.

bACk iN mY DAy... No one agree with you

They didn't have CDs back in '84.

That physically hurt me

Angel Ramos I’m pretty sure he just fell off

yeah didn't look like he did it on purpose.

King Vague blue devils

Don't worry about😂

Elijah BBE I uploaded the full video too on my channel

This show is easy to follow. They're playing songs with the word "Man" in the title or lyrics, and overlaying a theme of evolution. Nothing to get. My Way is a brilliant song, and accidentally adds layers of meaning to a show where there would otherwise be none.

Xplorer i saw the show today and it was done extremely well

Xplorer surprise :)

Blaketflip I made that prediction more than a month ago dude, shit changes

@@TacRandom That show was honestly one of the worst shows I've ever seen

Cadenn7 what

Lmao what

He's trying to promote his music channel because he's gonna "make it".

Max Cherkasskikh The Cavaliers show this year has quite possibly the most meaningful show design/concept in terms of depth. Every single beat in this show is planned with a theme and motive. You should check out the design video they just put out on their channel.

I saw that video. It makes total sense. I'm just saying that based on what I've seen so far (which is of poor quality and in bits) I'm not too thrilled about it. But I'm certain that I am probably wrong on my initial gut feeling. At least I hope I am. The problem for me as a fan and someone who has been involved in this sort of a thing before is that having a theme or themes is great but when there is no continuity between them and what seems like a bunch of awkward breaks in between loosely tying those themes it just looses that energy level (at least) for me when watching the show. Like, if you look at some of the early 2000's shows when the Cavies were dominating there was an energy flow from section of the show to another one. The other thing that gets me is how much the Cavies have lately (and I mean a few years) resorted to throwing in a bunch of drill chaos where sections of the corp r running around for a number of measures with no clear drill purpose other than to fall into another drill pattern a few measures down without actually moving in a logic way into it. I don't know, but that just irks me. I'm not against it per se. Throw one in there for variety. But when like a quarter of the drill in the show (or what seems like it) is guys just running around it just looses that energy flow. Look back to 2002 Frameworks and u'll see what I mean. That show was pure energy from the brass book stand point, drum book stand point, drill book stand point and overall general effect point. That's all I mean. I still love my Cavies to death and I'm a lifetime fan. I just wish they would steer back towards some of the golden 2000's stuff. I'm hoping I can see a clean (great quality video) show sometime before the season is over to really get the full idea of what the creators were trying to do. I can't see em live since I live in LA.

Max Cherkasskikh I mean that was literally the point of XtrordinarY

Max Cherkasskikh also, that's what happens when you lose THE Mike gaines

Nick Niehaus won't argue with u on that. Every Cavaliers show has its magic. I'm not saying that it's a bad show. I don't like to make a personal judgment until I've seen a great quality video of a show and than make a personal judgment for myself. And frankly my opinion doesn't matter. It's the majority opinion that matters. I'm sure this one will have its success. There have also been times when I wasnt too thrilled about a show and than went back later, saw the show ten more times and than was like "damn, that's actually genius". I'm just saying that personally for me as a fan I don't enjoy the show as much when there is a bunch of chaos happening in the show and when there is an energy break down when ideas r loosely tied by a bunch of random breaks between the ideas. It makes me ask the inevitable question than... Is this (meaning, some of the drill chaos) what is holding them down from higher grades and breaking into the top 3 during the championship week? I want them to win every year. But I just wonder if some if this "loose" idea writing is what is holding them back. I'm not saying that the ideas and the writing in themselves r bad. Just that it might be holding them back. Because than it gets harder to judge if a certain section of the show is actually meant to be chaos or is just the inevitable product of not being able to clean it up in time due to loose writing ideas. That's all...
