- The Cavaliers annual awards banquet was held at the Rosemont convention
- center this past weekend after the December camp. The banquet this year was
- a little special as you can imagine, and the facilities and food were
- magnificent. The list of drum corps notables that attended was long, but
- among them were: Done Pesceone, Gail Royer, Tom Blair (director of the DCI
- broadcasts and Cavalier alum), Fred Sanford, Jay Wanamaker, and many others.
-
- Jim Campbell, always the comic relief, put together a 5 minute tape of the
- more ecstatic judges comments from finals, and this really broke the crowd up.
- There were all kinds of presentations made by Jim, Jeff Fiedler, Don Warren,
- and others to deserving people in the Cavalier organization. The 700+ crowd
- gave many standing ovations before the night was over. All of the age-outs
- gave a short speech, and everyone had a great time.
-
- The camp went well also, and because of the talent we have in the line
- this year and the spots opened up by eliminating the cymbal line, we have
- increased the size of the battery to 10 snares, 6 tenors, and 6 basses.
- At the end of each camp, each of the sections of the corps gets to show
- off what they have been working on. The hornline played through the show,
- and man, it is great. The drumline played through our newly reworked and
- much more dense (if that is possible) version of our streetbeat, "Bunko
- Rules". The pit played a really tasty arrangement of a Steps Ahead tune,
- and they appear to have plenty of talent, also. Well, enough rambling.
- I can't wait for June! Any reports on other camps?
-
- Brad.
