The Cavaliers Drum & Bugle Corps - Elmwood Park 4th of July

[rigamarrow]

Disney invited all the corps to parade at EPCOTAFTER RO REAGAN'S INAUGURAL PARADE WAS FROZEN OUT. BUT ORLANDO WAS SIZZLING ON THE DAY SO DISNEY HAD FLOCKS OF CAST MEMBERS HANDING OUT WATER BOTTLES TO MINIIZE HEAT STROKE.

[TheGhoogle]

just had my first parade today i lay bass 4 and to me it was probably one of the worst experiences of my life:/

[beastdrummer555]

their hats look stupid without the plume...

[SomeGuyDrumming]

your supposed to be a WORLD CLASS drum corps. that drumming was dirtyyy. Even if drum corps dont really care about parades anymore, I've always been told you should play your best whenever you pick up yours sticks ESPECIALLY if youre representing youre group (corps, band, etc)

[malcolmgetscrazy]

@SomeGuyDrumming They probably didn't spend more than 2 rehearsals on the music. Sure you're supposed to play your best at all times, but when you do one parade a season, there's no point in spending that much time on it.

[egomez234]

During the season, we hardly care about parades. They tell us a day before, we learn a quick song and go. Our main focus is the DCI tour, not some parade. So back off when you bitch on corps and how they sound.

[autumnangel17]

nobody marches semper fi like a Marine band(duh). they can push it for 3 hrs straight of excellence. but i REALLY wouldn't want to go up against these guys in a show.

"Gate the turn? What do you mean gate the turn? Where's my dot?"

[Zvengeancex666]

wtf? were they told not to march technique in parades?

[Dontforgettobreathe]

@Zvengeancex666 March a parade and then you can tell me that I need to do technique for 45 minutes straight

[euphmmx]

@Zvengeancex666 Because that is their technique :)

[phsdrumline]

Why the hell are they playing Semper Fidelis?

[Cmndr95]

@phsdrumline possibly because its a fourth of july parade, maybe, who knows, its not like semper fidelis has anything to do with the country, nope that couldnt possible be it

[mmmegan06]

@phsdrumline because they can play whatever they want.

[SomeGuyDrumming]

wow snares sounded pretty dirty to be honest, even though its such a simple part.

[thepayne0]

hate to break it to them, but more of their band is made up of flag carriers. They should invest in more band players than flag carriers

[BattleMaster1013]

@thepayne0

That's because this band isn't made for parades, it's made for field shows. Just look up Best of DCI 2010, that's what these guys are meant to do.

[thepayne0]

@BattleMaster1013 yeah......sadly i figured that out right after i watched this

[tgfmg007]

Trust me...it was hot and it rained later...we did not like the weather we were in.

[Drumskyle]

They look so BORED haha

[svolypet]

Because parades ARE boring. At least for the drum corps/marching bands.

[anonymousowa1]

@svolypet You've obviously never seen an show style band do a parade.

[frankc3285]

Is this a band or a drum and bugle corps?

[watchcoww]

drum and bugle corps bro
