Ahhhhh the good ole days when it was all about marching difficult drill while playing difficult music. No traveling stages/props and miniature broadway shows and changing uniforms/costumes every year.
@@l.f.6627 Oh I know. When I did marching band, I LOVED PLAYING MY INSTRUMENT (trumpet). I almost feel bad for the kids now who barely play for half the show and spend WAY too much time doing modern/interpretive dance and pushing props around the field. They are being robbed of their time to shine as musicians on the field in my opinion. Let Winterguard be Winterguard in their season. Let indoor drumline be indoor drumline in their season and let Drum Corps be Drum Corps in its' season. Don't need to mix them all together and call it DCI.
Machine in 06 was such a cool year…seems like BD was beating them all year until Atlanta, which Cavies took and never looked back….still one of my favorite shows still!
I remember when DCI world championships were televised on espn. Can you imagine if they still did that with HD? I think it would get more views than whatever other sport is going on in August.
Four Corners is one of the Greatest Shows (All Captions) Ever!! I’ve always thought that the Horn Line suffered in this era due to their amazing M&M. That being said I believe their contribution to Drum Corps is cemented in this decade. They were simply OUTSTANDING 🥂
I've always loved and admired the Cavies but even I did not know they were that successful. The M&M precision and overall shows were spectacular and awe inspiring. I get chocked up sometimes watching such performances because I admire the dicipline and hard work it takes to achieve all of this. Amazing all male corps.
I'm just mad PR decided to do Sparticus in 08 because Samurai is by far my favorite Cavies show. Don't remember who was second (probably BD), but I remember I thought the cavies drill was better when I saw the two of them.
Hey man. Don’t beat yourself up. I marched in 2001 in a D2 in DCI Midwest and I must have seen your show 30 times. It’s probably my favorite show to this day. Hell, I still have my Cavi’s 2001 tshirt that I picked up somewhere in my closet that I still wear on occasion. Thank you for the great performances!!!
@@BungSmuggler haha! Yeah, thank god too. I cringe just remembering some of the dumb stuff I did on tour. I can’t imagine if it was immortalized in video/social media.
I'm not a judge, I'm just a simple fan. But I swear the cavaliers got cheated in 2003 with spin cycle. I mean there is no way from my standpoint that Blue devil show was better just a spectators opinion.
No question the Cavies were the corps of the Oughts, just as The Cadets were the corps of the 80’s, (83-85,87) and if one goes by 83-93, that’s 6 championships in that time span.
@@timber72 Don’t get me wrong, I love SCV, a big supporter, in terms of 2nd place standings, well yeah SCV did great. Cadets got the three-peat and ended up with 4 championships compared to SCVs 2 (81,89)
@@jeffe_77 "Number of championships" does not determine which Corps dominated a decade. Garfield (since we're talking about the 80s) placed 7th in '81, 3rd in '82, 4th in '86. 4th in '88, and 5th in '89. SCV, on the other hand, placed 3rd in '83 and '84, and 2nd *every other year* in the same time period. Do the math. SCV comes out on top with 5 (5!) 2nd place finishes, 2 3rds and 2 titles. Garfield doesn't even come close. And, Garfield should not have won '87.
@@timber72 I hear ya, I would love to live in a world or multiverse where Vanguard pulled off the Threepeat in 87-89. I personally think they were robbed in 88. I would love to live in a world where they would field a corps this year 2023. Sadly we don’t live in that multiverse, sadly we live in a reality where SCV got 7th in 1980 and the Cadets won those championships and at the end of the day when you have 2 corps that had tremendous success in the decade, got to by the rings and the results that took place, not what we desire the results to be. You do make a point about Garfield’s off years. But like they say, “history is written by the victors”.
@@timber72 you don't own a decade by not winning championships, and saying Garfield shouldn't have won 87 is one of the worst takes ever. it's certainly better than running the same show back to back.
Before covid derailed them, they were on fire. 2019 they had one of the best musical shows in a decade. Hopefully they get back after it next year and this beerflu nonsense goes away.
As you watch this you can see they won on hard work and discipline rather than a bunch of dancing like the BD's do and get top GE scores thay do not deserve.
So what happened to the Cavaliers? Their drill is nowhere near what it was in the early 2000s. They're just an average drum corps now. Did they get a new director?
Board of directors weren’t pleased with their 2009 placements, and made a lot of changes. Michael Gaines, their drill writer left in between 2011 and 2012.
@@androidtwo Sorry but Phantom should have been 3rd, maybe 4th,, as Carolina Crown was extremely strong that year as well. Cavaliers and Blue Devils should have been at least 2 full points ahead of Phantom.
@@DillonM-mc6yw I am not a judge because I actually have ethics. A lot of people were rooting for Phantom, and a lot of them have actually said afterwards they shouldn''t have won after rewatching the videos.
I would include 2011 as well since they didn't really drop placements until 2012, and it's a sick show too
Agreed. Especially with them winning drums in 2011
Yea, but 2010-2011 is when the Devils started taking over, the 2000's belongs to the Cavaleirs and the 2010's belong to the Blue Devils.

Same!!
Maybe hot take: I think it’s better than BD 2014
Frameworks and 007 are my fav cavs shows ever
Amazing show
Absolutely. It was a work of beauty
I miss this extreme clarity of sound
anyone notice the guard member at 12:40 splitting the 35 and 40 in the front row jump and catch the rifle toss that wouldve hit the horn player?
Holy shit I've never noticed that, what an epic save!
Should've had a career in football

Impossible to overstate how much Cavies were worshipped in the early 2000s
Cavaliers are always great. 1991 was also a great show.
I loved machine the most for some reason. Cavies' shows area always entertaining and that Gaines drill was awesome!
99' and 2000 singlehandedly got me hooked on anything DCI....they don't write shows like this anymore I'm sorry 😂 Brett Kuhn was just on another level
Marian Catholic did Niagara Falls in 1999, the Cavaliers did it in 2000, both groups from the Chicago area.
Great collection. However Cavies came in 3rd place in 2007, not 2nd.
He got it wrong on the video clip but right in the end recap.
first drum corps clip i ever saw was from that 08 drum break💪🏻 literally changed my life, had no idea drumming could be so cool
Yup!... Corps will do that to you! It's unreal

Can we get a George Zengali tribute?👀
LOVE this idea!
Damn. That dude in the thumbnail!
Awesome! Really miss these precision drills that are easy to “read.” and spectacular color guard impact points!
bro they could've had a 5-peat with a spin cycle victory, which they should've
Great video! Thanks for posting this.
2001 is so underrated!
And by the uniforms, you KNEW it was The Cavaliers. No guesswork involved.
The most dominant green machine 💯
2003 is so sick
Did you know the end is the beginning completely in reverse?
2004 is in my all time top 3 and watching it live in Denver was a treat
Nobody will ever do it like that again
How spin cycle got 2nd place is beyond me.. that BD show sucked ass
DCI judging sucks. :)
Man do I miss those days 😩
🤧... you're telling me. That was a very special time for Corp
2002 was amazing. 😎
i marched 2000-2003 and had the best time, but i hate that i missed out on marching 2004. Life had different plans for me i suppose.

If anyone manages it I hope it’s crown, they haven’t been out of the top two in brass in nearly a decade their visual is just boring

My moneys on scv they have godlike percussion and their brass is catching up quick
Imagine it just goes back to the cavies and they start alternating decades.
Probably gonna be either Bloo or Crown
