Old school DCI is so pure...

99.925… we all know we nearly died hearing that score

If you want to die inside a little, the age outs from this show are 41 or 42 now and several are probably grandfathers. Enjoy your day.

I have no idea why, but my official headcanon for the show now is James Bond and the Drum Major fighting for control over the podium, with the Colorguard on the side of Bond and the Band being on the side of the Drum Major. Why do I imagine this? I don't know, I guess when I hear music I can imagine anything.

I heard Cadets want to do a similarly themed show but they can't decide on a town.

I wish ppl would stop acting old. Sound quality and musicianship is far superior now and it isnt bc of synthesizers. Soloists being mic'ed is better for the musicians so they dont have to strain to be heard. Yes the drill went away but lets be honest, most ppl cant even see the drill at the shows unless youre high up in the judges boxes or at home on skycams. So lets stop with the "back in my day" bc it is really tiresome

Again, best. No fluff or puff, magic. Just determination

My favorite Cavies year of all time. Got to attend a week long Clinic that summer with them in Naperville. Was so cool to work with Bret, Jim, and hang out with the line.

Want more grit, organic? All, ALL, of 1987 could've been no. 1. Chk it out!

This show is fucking awesome

Am I a boomer, or do the use of props make watching marching bands hella distracting? I miss the hell out of pure, unadulterated marching bands 😢

4:43

Crazy how good you can make a show when there’s no props and bullshit.

I thought to myself! The cavaliers can’t possibly outdo themselves! And boi was I ever pleasantly surprised! What really makes me really fucking mad. Is that my cavaliers r no longer the cavaliers that I knew and fell in love with in my teens! Where is my “huge ass/mind numbing ass cavalier drill design?” I’m going be as the very least annoyed until what Cavaliers do is stick to their huge azz balls and get back to what they have been known for the best in the 2000s; which is incredibly kind bending drill design. Until then. I will just watch from afar! 😂 This is what u made u the green machine!

Between the flam diddles this was just about the most genius fucking DCI piece of music writing! I cry every tone I listen to it!

This show was literally beyond its time! I get an eargasm every time I watch it and then realize… These guys were way ahead of their time! To actually organize this many 18 year olds to get a score of 99.70. I’m speechless. The amount of adult skills and writing is staggering! It’s a beautiful display of discipline, musicianship and discipline met with the right amount of circumstances plus a genius amount of 007 bravado was instilled! Bravo! It’s bloody genius!

If balls had a name to it… This show would be it. No better DCI show to highlight the whole entire 007 movement! As someone that marched throughout high school! And watched that entire series! Fucking bravo m! 👏 I marched tenors! A drum line equivalent to mid voices! This is why I will always be cavaliers hard fan! That’s what’s sold me. That and frameworks!

Underrated. How does this not have more views?!

still one of my fav Cavie shows.

How did you get the percussion cam of the video on youtube? I want to do the same for Cadets 2000 show.

The whistling at 4:42 ...chills every time

This show is incredible.

The drill for this year was absolutely insane

I'm a huge Jethro Tull fan and recognized maybe 4 minutes of music.

So rare.🎉

I actually got to sit right next to this camera at this show.

Watched this show just about a million times as of now... And every time I find one more genius fucking nugget about this show! This was a master class of a show! :)

3:10 Damn that drum break was tight!

They kept moving like OML🥴very fast and large steps. Classic

Dirtiest show to ever win and it still deserved it! What a show.

This reminds me of my high school days. My HS marching band attended one of the final DCI shows, and I remember we watched this show. When it got to the 007 formation I said out loud, "I wonder if that stands, for 2007, but it's only 2004." Then I realized after the fact it was for double 07, lmao. Definitely made some of our coach's and peers laugh. 😂

These different cam views were so cool. I’m sad they don’t do it anymore

Fucking chills running down my spine every time they finish that triangle formation towards the end at 10:54. This show literally had the biggest balls and swagger I've ever seen in drum corps. I wish so so so so so badly that the Cavies would go back to this style of show writing.

Like everyone but the ending. Good to see guard and percussion generally integrated into the overall drill rather than off doing their own thing all the time. I miss this drum corps age!

These guys were the absolutely pinnacle of the activity at this point. This was their 4th title in 5 years. Might never happen again. So great.

7:10 what is the title of that song?

Of the cavies’ run, which is almost unmatched in DCI, this show is the closest to being beat. They had “the juice” for a good while there for sure. More aggressiveness in DCI = more wins! Nice job here Cavies. I miss this

This is amazing. My favorite show ever.

11:16 very spicy high D mellos

Back when a 9th place finish would have been inconceivable.

Such a well-designed show. Hypnotic! Non-cluttered! Current designers should take note of the uniform: dark pants, light tops. What the viewer sees is points in space in motion without distracting leg movements. And NO PROPS!!!!!

I was here... I'm the tall Tuba.

This has got to be one of the "coolest" dci shows of all time!

11:05 makes an appearance once again in the 2022 show!

Hey Brother! Thank you so much for converting and uploading this! My VHS tape died years ago!

Oh how I miss this quality of tone production and blend in the activity. Thanks for uploading this!

WHEN DOES 007 LOSE? MAGNIFICENT!!!!! CHILLS!!!

This show is… mesmerizing

That is my favourite DCI final , I watched it everyday when I was young. Thank you for share~
