euro_euph06 Posted November 29, 2006 Posted November 29, 2006 From a Cavaliers press release: For the 2007 drum corps season, the Cavaliers will explore the music of one of the world's most celebrated musicians: Billy Joel. Scott Koter, the Cavaliers Quote
MartinHorn Posted November 29, 2006 Posted November 29, 2006 Hmmmm....I don't know about this show concept, but of course who knows how it's gonna be when it's finished. Quote
Lustra.exe Posted November 29, 2006 Posted November 29, 2006 ummm... yeah. The words "World Champion" don't come to mind with a show concept like this... But we'll see how it goes. If anyone can do it, they can. Quote
aggietrumpet327 Posted November 29, 2006 Posted November 29, 2006 I remember when they announced their 007 show. LOTS of people were skeptical. But that turned out to be IMO one of the best shows they've ever done. I'm interested to see what they'll do with this. Quote

No, people were sceptical because that was the first year they aloud electronics and people were sceptical of the cavies buying into it. From what I remember, the show theme seemed pretty cool. Quote
Danpod Posted November 30, 2006 Posted November 30, 2006 I'm just going to come out and say it: I'm sick of Saucedo taking old "pop" music and putting it on the field. And yes, people really were skeptical of The Cavaliers 2004 show. The 007 theme, at first thought, appeared to be too generic of a concept to contend for a World Title. The Cavaliers put their own spin on it and sure enough, it won. Quote

QuadraticBeats Posted November 30, 2006 Posted November 30, 2006 I predict BD, or Phantom to be the main contenders for the championship next year. Even my Cavies diehard snare leader doesn't think they're going to win next year, or they're going to have a very hard time doing so. The fact that this is the show concept they're developing around further reinforces the idea that they will be less competitive than their previous years. As neat of an idea Machine was, the final show was extremely visual, without nearly as much music as had originally been written. The Cavaliers have only won by very slim margins or taken the silver medal since 2003, suggesting a little loss of steam. Quote

The Cavaliers don't have a chance in the world to win the DCI World Championship. I mean...cmon....even though they have been winning the world championship, theyve been doing it by a slim margin...and they have only won it 5 out of 7 years. I mean, if they won 7 out of 7 years, they might have a chance. But 5 out of 7 proves that they are DEFINITELY losing steam. (Notice the sarcasm) Now, I am not a Cavalier or anything, and I am not saying they are going to win, I am just trying to make a point. When youve done as much as they have, then maybe you can write them off. But hey, this is just my opinion, I could be wrong... Quote

bossman Posted November 30, 2006 Posted November 30, 2006 idk, i dont understand. Can somebody break it down for me(the concept of course). Quote
Skippy Posted November 30, 2006 Posted November 30, 2006 bossman said: idk, i dont understand. Can somebody break it down for me(the concept of course). Ok, it's like this. They take music that was written by Billy Joel, then they arrange it for drum corps, then they play it, and then they win. Quote

I agree, you can't win every year anyway...but come one, if you're winning 5 out of the seven years...that's just amazing!! they have to be doing SOMETHING right to win. so i trust them. and billy joel isn't a bad artist. i think there is alot of potential. with that many genres of music coming from one artist, think of all the stuff you can do. who know's? you can't judge a book by it's cover.

NSUMusician Posted December 1, 2006 Posted December 1, 2006 This show actually sounds really cool. I don't think it's going to be anything like the 2005 production, My Kind of Town. Go check out Billy Joel's classical album, Fantasies and Dellusions. I'm sure they will have some of his more well-known hits in it, but they'll most likely have some of Joel's stuff from this album as well. Quote
artishard Posted December 1, 2006 Posted December 1, 2006 i'm not saying anything yet. yeah, i thought it would be weird at first, but who knows...maybe they can pull it off. Quote
bossman Posted December 4, 2006 Posted December 4, 2006 talked to one of my friends who marhes for them, and he's a little skeptical about the concept, but he pretty sure ther'll make worth while Quote
