If they turned their whole show into a drum feature, they’d be winning.

[@Ralph981]

That's practically what Boston is doing. Their drums carry the whole corps.

[@luvspaiste]

@@Ralph981 2 days ago Boston lost to “God’s horn line,” Crown, by one tenth in brass. Boston has already beaten them ( and Blue Devils) in brass this season. BAC has no weak section.

[@Ralph981]

@@luvspaiste Of course.. They're not weak at all. They just play a more difficult book, so their horns have been very dirty, hence the loss to Crown.. and there are several drum features in their show.

[@fdblade1529]

That's not it. They don't have enough props. You need at least 200 props to win these days.

[@LAPSEbraun]

In the Eastern Classics yesterday they were 3rd overall

[@davewroberts]

Love this Cavies show this year, and LOVE the fact that they’re winning perc over everyone!!! I wish this show would get rewarded more in GE, but sadly they need to hide behind massive props and have a storyline instead of killer books and crazy bada$$ drill

[@bassace5143]

I LOVE the traditional style uniforms! I am not a fan of the spandex and color guard style uniforms many are using these days.

[@NebrasKorneater]

THANK YOU. I don't want to see a bunch of snot-nosed, pimple-faced teenagers. I want the hats that make them look cooler, taller, bigger, and more UNIFORM!

[@Moosepants12]

THIS! I agree the old ones looked so much better. Especially the loss of the shakos, they all look much less intimidating

[@MB88P]

Agreed! They look so much better when and look more BA in actual uniforms and not women’s clothing or gymnastic uniforms

[@kristianpeterson2571]

the mumus! ugh 🤦🏼‍♂

[@jmsmooch]

DCI is unrecognizable, today...

[@luvspaiste]

This year when they announce the winner of the Fred Sanford award and the Cavies win, I hope they get a standing ovation.

[@Stretchwiz]

They did

[@kevinwynott7755]

Now THIS is A Drum and Bugle Corps......you can at least tell thats the Cavvies...

[@darthlaurel]

I was thinking the same thing.

[@DennisJohnsonDrummer]

This was an exciting segment with loads of forward momentum. What a great percussion score and hands to match. And to think they performed this wearing a traditional uniform and head gear. Who would have thought? Ha! Thanks for sharing this Flo.

[@isaacmartinez2102]

These are the Cavies, not the spandex body suit people.

[@honestabe5331]

I’m kinda over the profetic robe era of DCI. Love that the Aussies are back.

[@toxi101yt5]

@@honestabe5331 Same was honestly kinda shocked when they didn't wear them last year cuz those hats are iconic

👍🇺🇸💪🥁💣🔊🎼GO CAVS! Da BIG GREEN MACHINE!!!

[@GingerKing243]

DUDE! That Front feature at 1:15 is insanely difficult and INSANELY clean!

[@harryballsonya]

yeah those laterals at the end were *chef's kiss*

[@gregjacksun]

so perfect.

[@Sami-fs4iz]

One of my old friend is a marimba in the pit! Safe to say they got the Fred Sanford Award!!!👏👏👏

[@Stretchwiz]

One of my high school techs is on vibraphone

[@kristianpeterson2571]

Hopefully they start something with bringing uniforms back.

The Drumline is fire! 💥🔥🔥🔥

[@tomkaufman3914]

Man that sounds like an older vintage drum solo bravo.

[@brandtlego]

Fantastic camera work by DCI as always…watching someone in the pit crash a cymbal during the snare feature…at least they made it back for the Claw.

[@joshuamckivigan2550]

Quite possibly the greatest drum line of ALL time!!!!!

[@sanderschat]

WHAT is THIS??? Cool looking uniforms again? Sweeeeet!!

[@darthlaurel]

I can't tell you how much I appreciate seeing drum corp that still looks and sounds like drum corps. Very sick of the prancing Broadway show versions.

[@drumikew]

Anyone know what is the sticks tricks name when the snare drum long roll and flip with their right hand😣🙏🏽?

[@venox8662]

It's called the Casey Claw... double stroke roll with the right hand swapping between a backstick and a tap and left hand is normal double stroke roll

[@Moosepants12]

Yeah what venox said

[@garylagstrom3864]

I can see the Cavies winning 🥇 high drums -Sanford!

[@davidcowan4705]

best show ever

[@dcsnare315x]

Ending Tag is FLIPPIN INSANE!!!!! Only thing that would make it better is if you extended it like the intro to Conan O'Brien. WOW HOLY COW!!! Insane.

[@KevinH-v4m]

Finally put it out there on percussion

[@alphonsodrovel]

"THESE MEN ARE STILL BADASS!"

[@asherbank1941]

this was the cleanest battery I've ever seen in person, which only proves flo marching needs better goddamn microphones, cuz this shit sounds crunchy as all hell

[@FTTPRO]

Really wish they were moving more, but it's still great to hear the throw backs. GG:WP.

[@davyhay1]

You wish they were moving more..... Nearly all playing is on the move. This is probably the most physically demanding and difficult drill in DCI this year.

[@FTTPRO]

@@davyhay1 what exactly do you want me to do here, break down why they aren't in the top 3, or is it the top 5? When they're moving they are doing a lot. When they stop, they aren't doing a lot of moving. They literally stand in pods and don't do anything. It's not effective and doesn't represent the music. I don't know what to tell you, go watch more winning shows, maybe you'll see the difference? The members are performing well; but this show is not a winning show. It wasn't designed to be; hence, "I wish they were moving more." It's not really a hate speech, it's just a wishful design critique, based on an observation. That's all.

[@davyhay1]

@@FTTPRO You’re right, the show was designed to honor the history of the Cavaliers, and not to maximize scoring. And no, when did I ever ask for you to qualify why they are not ranked higher? It felt like you were making a statement as to the physicality of the drill.

[@patrickskoniczin9063]

@@FTTPRO Wdym moving more? Almost every show this year has less demand in the drill book than in previous years, and they are all moving in pods or blocks. At least with the hats the Cavies look clean (because every other corps looks muddy), and they also have the lines (something noticeably missing in today’s day in age of Drum Corps). You say “go see the difference”, but this show is honestly better than something the top 5 corps are doing, (with the exception of Crown, but even they underwhelmed me this year). It’s sad to see this is the direction the activity is going, and this show is a breath of fresh air that the future of Drum Corps can still look bright.

[@livelifejolly8608]

Crazy.😢😢. the cavaliers were the best in the 90s. Going up against them was like going against the Chicago Bulls...

[@LAPSEbraun]

I like it, the one piece of criticism I have is I personally feel in the beginning it felt too quiet and awkward because it was only Pit, and Perc with sprinkles of Winds, I personally want more Wind action

[@livelifejolly8608]

Flaggers were on point

[@masterbulgokov]

I don't find that pre-recorded or sampled sound is doing DCI any favors.

[@andrewbos8837]

That solo in pajamas just wouldn’t be the same!!!

[@garylindsay5480]

The color guard uniforms don't contact enough. It would help their visual more.
