Why can't DCI be more like this? Jesus, my jaw dropped during this whole video. Other videos just a little bit maybe. This is incredible. One of the many reasons on why I'm a Cavie fan.
I marched drum corps in the late 90's so I'm not to crazy about the indoor movements coming out to the field but damn, this shit is intense!!! Always been a fan of the Cavaliers. 93, 96, and 97 are some of my favs!
The Bluedevils have perfection, I WILL give them that, but most of the blood, sweat, and tears, so to speak, go to the cavaliers every year. And with bluedevils, you don't get the unforgettable memories that you do with the cavaliers, there were a lot from this show alone.
I am going to say this: Most people thought that the Cavaliers won finals this year instead of Phantom. This was a very very deep and flawless show at finals. And they played this so well and so deeply it made everybody in my row feel like they were IN ancient Japan. We didn't get the same feeling from Phantom Regiments show. Not trying to bash Phantom. They were great too but everybody thought that the Cavaliers won.
ive never been in drum corps but this is probably my favorite drum break so far. not saying they are my favorite corps cause each year there is always another drum corps that blows my mind. like 2011, cavaliers did really good with visuals, but the music didn't impress me too much. the cadets really brought it that year and it was my favorite show because they had amazing visuals and the music was just phenomenal! sorry, that was just a piece of my mind lol
@BSBINC1 mature reply. BTW, my high school drumline instructor was from blue devils. Doesn't mean they deserved to win that year, and it doesn't mean I have to like them more. Cavies deserved the win!
look at a video with just the drumline playing it, the snare break is a lot more difficult than it seems to be on the field plus its ridiculously clean.
What is it about there drill that is so fascinating to watch? I always thought the white aussies but a lot of corps wear the white or cream color and it doesn’t look half as good. Their drill has always been top notch..
@ravel111 - Personally I don't think it's biased at all. Seeing BD live @ West Chester even made me believe that no one could beat them visually. That was true for finals.
@LittlezDDR - It sounds like you refer to best visual in terms of best looking drill and visuals....and it's very true. The Cavies have some of my favorite drill moments. Now I can watch semis and finals and can tell you that BD still beats Cavies visually in terms of execution. But I can't speak for anyone or the judges; it's all based on opinion and not fact.
what's up with the sudden changes? an example is right at 1:43 in the middle of the tenor solo, it happens again at 2:41 in the middle of the drumbreak. Is that you changing out your lense or something?
this is the best writing ive ever seen for a drum break
Peter Diez Most creative, for sure. And definitely top 10/top 5 in terms of how good it was in writing. Top 5 in execution most definitely.
Agree
This would get like 12/20 in todays drumline writing lol
- Takes picture - moment ruined...
I feel like '08 was literally one of the greatest years of DCI history.
Lowkey this is one of my favorite Cavaliers performances.
@@marshallhughes4514 okay so it's not just me? I'm watching this over a decade later and feel like I'm getting stronger chills now than then lol
It was more impressive I feel like back then to be clean
I was barley alive 😎
Yes and also 1992!

Such a great tenorline.
this never gets old.

Jim Casella in pure Beast-Mode
I cant even imagine the adrenaline that was running through the line. Lol i was pumped up just from watching!!!!
This is possibly the awesomest thing I've ever seen.
I cannot believe how much I love this show
damn! i never realized how cool the finish is on the bass drums. thats amazing
Years later and I always come back to this video
Every time the Taiko drums come in at 1:23, I get goosebumps all over.
Best tenor solo of 2008
this is probably one of my fav snare solos in all of dci
The Bluedevils have perfection, I WILL give them that, but most of the blood, sweat, and tears, so to speak, go to the cavaliers every year. And with bluedevils, you don't get the unforgettable memories that you do with the cavaliers, there were a lot from this show alone.
I love how at 2:23 the third snare from the right looks like he's just casually walking in time like a badass
omg i was watching their practice and couldnt understand all the movement, now i see wow these guys are freaken great!
Gotta love those drums.
I've watched this at least 10 times today XD

Who is everybody? I was there and I certainly thought PR passed BD to win, which they did.
If you saw the standing ovation phantom got with a minute left in the show, id bet thats not correct
Man I wish I was born earlier so I could watch all these shows in person ;-;
this was freakin tight. i wish my show was like this
My personal favorite DCI show EVER. The Cavs kicked some ass and took some names.
I think this was the best show of that year, bar none. Marching to music, they should have won.
So cool and very professional everyone is so together!

completly awesome!!
Cavalier is my idol band .......Koh Samui Thailand.......
One of my favorites of cavaliers
High school band are also rehearsal limited. 1-2 hour class vs 13 hour day rehearsals.
Tenor solo of my life.
@BSBINC1 mature reply. BTW, my high school drumline instructor was from blue devils. Doesn't mean they deserved to win that year, and it doesn't mean I have to like them more. Cavies deserved the win!
@MrGamingDrummer well that's because he is just casually walking in time like a badass
cavies always have really smooth flowing drill that looks tight
This hasn't been taken down because DCI know's it's way too awesome for it not to be on TH-cam.
Dude the beatles are such an amazing band
You can see the dedication and discipline in this band! WOW!!!
i fucking love this show so goddamn much
@bakerskater2120 The trumpet closest to furthest right, outside snare takes a tumble. It's actually at like 2:09.
best drum break of 2008
i got chill bleh!!!!!! this was really good!!!
I love the sound quality (:
No way the hell with blue devils this was the best show in 08 in dci
@samshuty I was thinking the same thing during the halftime show.
bass drum hit at one minute sounds so good with legit speakers.
The shutter bothers me till this day. Lol.
@bakerskater2120 the trumpet player on the tip of the bottom arch thats just behind the right snare.
One great thing about being a bass drummer isnobody ever cheers for bass features, so I can always here them.
So clean!!!
OMG.... I love the Cavvies!!!!
I love it!
I LOVE THAT HIT AT 1:07!!!
holy crap... 1:38 is the greatest tenor break ever!!
clean clean clean!!! Did they win drums that night?
gave me chills
that is the person taking pictures while using the video part of the camera yo!
Man! It gives me chills to watch this. How did these guys not kick Blue devil's ass? Excellent!
yeah i think thats pictures being taken on the cam corder
@bakerskater2120
Horn line right behind the snares. It's more of a trip rather than a fall.
And still are!
look at a video with just the drumline playing it, the snare break is a lot more difficult than it seems to be on the field plus its ridiculously clean.
if I had snare chops like that, you would never see me again..
This was the far best show of all Cavalier shows! :D
DAMN those singles
@bakerskater2120 Woah...I had to repeat it 3 times to find him. What a great/fast recovery. Kudos to him.
1:39 My favore tenor solo in DCI, hands down.
What the hell was with the picture taking?
it happens all the time, i didn't even notice it until i read the comments. he had a quick recovery and that's all that matters
DAMN SNAPSHOT RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE TENOR FEATURE.
What is it about there drill that is so fascinating to watch? I always thought the white aussies but a lot of corps wear the white or cream color and it doesn’t look half as good. Their drill has always been top notch..
poetry. in. motion.
I'm more of a Phantom fan, but that is the best drum break ever.
Sam dude. I love that line down there. Back when they didn't pound like SCV.
ive watched this sooooo many times and never noticed the trumpet fall at 2:10
:o
Amazing
@bakerskater2120 lol he is beside the snare on the far right, i think trumpet? of melophone, idk these instruments i play the tenors lol
@MisledDeath
NO! this is the Cavaliers! Read the title! Its a drum corp.
Is NightBeat just in one place per year? Cuz if it is, I was there. I fell in love with The Cavaliers there.
Never. Delete. This,
I like Cavies and BD's, I think they are both amazing corps, no reason to try to decide who is better.
COME ON I JUST PUT THESE PANTS ON That drum feature was epic...
yeah. my boyfriend is a cavalier.
he plays lead soprano trumpet.
his name is stephen
Those tenors are off the hook!!!!!!!!
@ravel111 - Personally I don't think it's biased at all. Seeing BD live @ West Chester even made me believe that no one could beat them visually. That was true for finals.
i think they were taking pics with the camera.
Man, I wish I high school would do something like this :(
@Eskew42
haha where? back there in the tuba section in the back?
@LittlezDDR - It sounds like you refer to best visual in terms of best looking drill and visuals....and it's very true. The Cavies have some of my favorite drill moments. Now I can watch semis and finals and can tell you that BD still beats Cavies visually in terms of execution.
But I can't speak for anyone or the judges; it's all based on opinion and not fact.
yea where you see the falling dude?
This was the greatest drumline then!!
what's up with the sudden changes? an example is right at 1:43 in the middle of the tenor solo, it happens again at 2:41 in the middle of the drumbreak. Is that you changing out your lense or something?
muito perfeito... meus parabens
if i can't be in this marching band, i will be so distraight.
@iHat316 Like when the tenors have their splits between themselves? Like why?
That damn moment when you are forced to watch that one spot where the cameraman zoomed into -_-
WOW!!! 👏👏👏👏👍💋
that first picture scared the shit outta me
I wouldn't have been embarressed to be a guard member in this show...frickin samurai
