1995 Cavaliers Victory Run

[MrBloodbath1]

i go to LVHS (las vegas high school) and our show for 2012-2013 will be this..i am BEYOND excited to play this #trumpetswag

[ChanceCovington13]

My band director Dr. Joseph Dan. McNally was in this show, and he loves taking visuals from it

[cosmodrum1]

Man, I totally forgot that they turned the entire universe blue during Mars. I think they added that finals week.

[jsk8drummer]

what a boring crowd they shouldve been on their feet 2 minutes before the show ended

[OTDRUMGOD08]

Anyone know where I could get the drum book?

[CrazyHatProductions1]

the camera simply cannot take how amazing they are

[rockonmyfriend]

which pixel was the band?

[Trumpetguy72937]

For 90's recording material this almost beats a lot of recordings out now.

[tjohn561995]

by far my favorite show of all time

[NamesForDogs]

Technically, it's Orchard Park, NY.

[Amendous]

I adore this drill... Alot

[ezikel134]

This was exactly nine months before the day i was born, that means...... OMG! I JUST WITNESSED ME BEING MADE!

[h8aification]

@ezikel134 omg me tooo except for tryy like a whole year later than when this was recorded.. haha 96 is close enough like i would love this to be played when my child is born into the world . she'll get accustomed quickly..

[CamxHalls]

damn. listen to that bass split at 1:02

[BelligerentTurtle]

I still love the cavaliers, but I wish their recent shows would be more like this. It seems like they're letting the drumline and pit play for the brass more and more every year. I mean like I said I still love the shows and the insane drill... but I love to hear me some beautiful DCI brass even more (and I'm a percussionist lol)

[animelover3400]

@BelligerentTurtle I guess I kinda agree with you there, everyone loves brass too, not just the drumlines in Drum Corps. What did you think of Cavaliers recent show??

[animelover3400]

Born in 1995, wish I went, idc if I was a baby. I LOVE CAVALIERS!

[AlexisG2283]

@animelover3400 Dude, YES. ME TOO.

[WELambert01]

The rifle drill still stands the test of time.

[reblakeevans]

I was in guard (male). This makes me miss guard a lot. especially the rifles. it was fun.

[reblakeevans]

This was a great show. Their BEST and BEAST of a show for me is 1992 Revolution and Triumph. WOW. The power of Cavies really started to hit in 90-92 and then really took off. This IS almost a copy of the 88/89 ? show they did of Plaents as @buzzerbeater9000 mentions. Not sure what year for sure.

[buzzerbeater9000]

It's funny how this is almost an exact remake of the original piece. If this show were done today, they would interpret it completely differently.

[Lamdog17]

Holst would be proud. The rifle work in the opening one of the best all time.

[TheEuphonator]

I REALLY want to see the picture of the crowd the guy took at @8:53!

[Fumbles9001]

Oh god, I would give so much to be at this performance.

[momochaso2]

good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



[GerryGuyCorpsGuy]

The Jupiter movement at 7:44 is amazing! :)

[gutenacht93]

i love it how the nerdiest people ever (90's computer freaks) couldn't figure out how to make a camera that could withstand nothing short of pure awesomeness! i swear the cavies broke the camera. wish they still played like this...

[Trials024]

8:53 Did he take a picture of the crowd?

[GerryGuyCorpsGuy]

@Trials024 HAHA!! looks like it :P

[deadcoww]

@Trials024 WOW nice one! I didn't catch that at first. I would REALLY love to see that picture!!

[sayuhedead]

screw recordings..G bugels are AMAZING live

[UKDRUMMER03]

anyone believe that there was some hyping going on at 2:05 in the snares? lol I hope

[hulka9396]

@UKDRUMMER03 Yes, yes we were. :) Pretty much hyped all of Mars all season long but the victory run had a little extra adrenaline.

[brandon2479]

I marched Spirit of Atlanta that year and we toured with the Cavaliers ALOT... I still have this show, Madison show (which deserved 3rd) and Cadets shows all memorized forever! I would always check those guys out.

[scifidrummergeek]

I do like this show, and have changed my mind about the colorguard. One of my friends is a guard member in my school's band, so how could I dis them? Also, my second choice of audition, after percussion, would be to be a guard member.

[Marchingfreak123]

@DrmrGuy1979  so true true

[Dusty8417]

DCI improved the quality and ruined Drum Corps.

[MUNCHIIIIZ]

i think 1995 is when dci started getting bigger and more technical

[donnymarvin]

@MUNCHIIIIZ I would sat it was the Garfield Cadets in 1983, that changed Drum corps forever.

[Marchingfreak123]

dammmmm why does the audio screw up at 9:16 that was the best part

[arioch616]

Go Cavaliers Rules, Greetings from Mexico

[NSidemarcher]

Now this WAS DCI !!!! thanks for the post.

[bmathson]

Epic.

[jscibbe88]

I may be the only one who feels this way but the colorguard is a bit distracting and unnecessary.

[mbmaccin555555]

@scifidrummergeek colorguard makes the color of the show more visual

[steezball44]

This is my show this year but we do a differnet version

[drummaboy15]

this was my show last year!! THE PANETS!!

[JBtenors08]

panets? lol

[drummaboy15]

ohh my bad meant the planets

[MincedFeet]

first part reminded me so much of "ramses bringer of war" by nile

[bigholeproductions]

That is because Nile used Mars, the Bringer of War by Gustav Holst in their song which is the 1st movement of this show.

[Mr1800youfail]

@MincedFeet that's because the song is based of of Gustav Holst's piece "Mars, Bringer of war" from the planets suite.

[dfisk79]

I saw this show live. Probably my all time favorite all time drum corp show.

[JeremysBugles]

Wow this is actually really epic..

[RCMS74]

casey claw? or is this the wrong year?

[cosmodrum1]

Yeah they did it this year and in 94.

[RCMS74]

like when in this vid?

[Ooshbala]

damn you 90's recording equipment!!!!

[normalpeople]

why there was a dumb in white shirt standing there?

[lolz989productions]

i love how on the last chord the drums play mars haha

[thepie567]

yeah!

[lolz989]

such an amazingly balanced chord at 8:50

its amazing

[louisec63]

All the work is being done by the horn and drum line i dont see anything worth mentionning except the charge for the colorguard .

[gatorsbrianz]

who lied to palavalve?

[anth0ny777]

i love how the screen turns blue/black at like 0:58

[biglil1403]

there color guard is actually in sync!!

ours could never do that.

never ever.

but, we still got the highest 1 weve ever gotten at state this year with this show.

:)

[VampirePunk101]

A standing ovation well-deserved! Well done, Cavvies!

[Baldgol4]

Did the guy taking this video pass out or something?

[brown55061]

One of my favorite shows of all time. Nobody else could have pulled off this show as cleanly, especially the visual side of it.

[tehmarzvotla]

the blue screens make for an interesting show dynamic. very innovative.

totally kidding. great vid.

[talan1590]

not always true. The Blue Devils did a full show victory run through this year after they won without their shakos and wearing their medals. I have the video of it and I was there. Unfortunately I left the field after awards and didn't get to see it...

[jsskateboarder]

I thought victory runs were always done without hats or shakos

[talan1590]

Don't know if anyone noticed, but this is not from their actual championship performance. It was their victory performance. There is no judges on the field. This is from after they were announced the winners. That might be why it sounds so much cleaner. the original final run before awards was dirtier. But this is still one of my all-time favorite shows. Love the Jupiter melody at 7:44. My favorite ballad of all time.

[talan1590]

Sorry, used improper grammer.

"There are no judges on the field."

[danjov45]

isn't that ballad "world in union"

[talan1590]

No... The entire show is "The Planets Suite" by Gustav Holst. It has "Mars", "Venus", "Mercury", & "Jupiter". Then it recapitulates ("revisits" for you non-music major fans) the "Mars" theme at the end.

[SquallLionhart409]

Recapitulates is word anyone who speaks english should know. Come on... RECAPitulates. It has recap in it, so obviously its going to be a revisitation, of Mars in this case.

Jupiter ballad melody+Cavalier goodness=The closer for one of the best Marching band/DCI performances of all time.

[VampirePunk101]

to talan1590:

True, but in case you didn't notice it, they did a small quote from "Uranus" about halfway through "Venus," and towards the end of that piece, they played what sounded like the final few measures of "Saturn." They also did a "Uranus" quote at the beginning of "Mercury."

[VampirePunk101]

and to danjov45:

That ballad in "Jupiter" is also the English tune "I Vow Thee To My Country" or something like that. BTW, It's one of my favorites too. :)

[cochese95]

I was told that the tune that holst used for Jupiter chorale was used as the scottish national anthem at one point in time. Anybody know if that is true? Also, apparently Holst composed the chorale first for another occasion then decided to use it as part of Jupiter.

[cj1lorenz]

acually its used in a folk song in great britan

[drewbugler]

I agree...this audio beats the CDs from that year...wow

[Hmongguitargod]

at 4:13, I always thought that roll was dirty in the DCI recordings but now I know....freakin clean!!! they were the sh!t!!!!

[shatker]

Here is the truth...1995 was the best dci finals of all time...every other year was striving to repeat 95'...1999 and 2000 were cool for cadets and bd but 1995 was incredible...i.e. madison scouts...

[SHdrummerguy08]

Why is it that we can't see a Cavies video without seeing a comment like "BD was better" and we can't see a BD vid without "Cavies are better"? Why can't you people just recognize all corps for how good they are instead of for what corps they're not?

[remembero323]

Because everybody needs to know the Cavies can kick their ass.

[SHdrummerguy08]

because, you know, cavies totally won this year and everything...It's the people in a corps that make it good, not just the corpss itself

[Fieldpaint]

They're right, this IS better quality than the '95 CDs and video.

[ChwyNiblet]

BD pwns this show.

[Tsaxophone96]

The beggining and the big hit sound amazing

[Tsaxophone96]

In high school i played this show my freshman year, i luved the big hit in mars

[SquallLionhart409]

I played it back in my sophemore year. The huge hit in Mars where I was FINALLY allowed to play as loud as I could. Its not my fault if one trombone can drown out half the band. I haven't been able to play full bore without messing up the balance since.

[Tsaxophone96]

i play tenor sax. they kept getting on to me for blasting and drowning out everyone

[SquallLionhart409]

You just have to learn just how much you can play without being too loud. We get recordings of our shows, and when I hear myself and a random trumpet over the band, I know to play less there. The tenor saxes are almost always too loud. Kind of like the trumpets of the brass. You never hear a trumpet sticking out from the Cavvies. That's one reason why I love listening to them, and other pro groups.

[Tsaxophone96]

yah. tell me about it. my band director hates it when we play loud

[Palavalve]

You're not really ever supposed to play just loud.

More like, full.

At least you're lucky you're band director doesn't replace you with a whole bunch of bass clarinets like my old director did.

Not that it sounded bad.

And this show must have one of the best endings in corps history.

[Tsaxophone96]

omg

thats what my director is trying to do

take the tenor saxes off the field

put bass clarinets in

it sucks

[abda53]

BD should have won

[dvd77612]

yeah, i was disappointed with the billy joel show this year

[Moog167]

Yea but the machine was a hard show to come after...

[cru4you]

dci needs to be in buffalo but wont be

[reblakeevans]

Love the Planets, always. But something about this show just did not "make it." Did they win that year? My favorite of theirs is still 1992 or 93, the Revolution and Triumph Show. Hated the Billy Joel show for 07.

What happened? Former Rifle. Lifelong Cavie fan. -R.

[Marine8133]

They did win 1995.

And I agree Billy Joel what the hell?

[nimrod814]

a bad representation of the planets in my opinion

[straightj23]

I think that this comes very close to Frameworks as best cavalier show of all time. People see frameworks all the time and forget that they had these cool show before they started bringing on the non-stop gimmicks. good corps. great show!

[chickadee2]

I agree, but also this years show tittled Billy Joe was very boring indeed and I was very disappointed in the Cavaliers this year.

[hughesmr]

Congratulations ... your video camera captured better audio than DCI was able to on the CDs that year!

[awefi]

it was pretty amazing quality.
