  50. How did they prevent themselves from running into each other?

  51. What is this nonsense?

    House Tramontane

    ReplyDelete
  52. Great job on these comments, everyone! Just a heads up. The word is performance or performer, not preform. The questions are excellent too! To the person who said it should be longer, it actually is! This video is just the last 2 minutes of a much longer show. You should check it out - DCI Cavaliers 2000.

    Okay, keep those comments coming! Tramontane seems to be leading the charge with Scirocco and Ostro close behind. Ponente needs to step it up and get some more posts in with a little less than a week left in the contest! Good luck to all Houses!

  54. to make this more exciting, catupult someone make someone perform a cartwheel. also this nonsense cant be real!!! malfunctions must be repetitive.they must face the mortality of someone getting injured. this is kind of random but i wonder if theyre neoconservative...
    if MY mom told me to tryout id object and obstuct her. if a flag hit my face, id have to go to the orthodontist. they really over achieve their goal!!! its almost overbearing to watch.the perimeter of the field must be huge!

    1. You have a few errors, I dont mean to be rude but punctuation and spelling errors. This is not the best work from you I know it's not. Good job Selena.

  55. This preformance is truely magnificent.These preformers must have to work on this from day to midnight.It seems almost impossible if you ask me. It really amazes me how much time is put in to this nonsense.I love the parts when it looks like the band is going to crass with the colorguard then they prevent the collision.You have to give a lot of extra credit to the overachiever who designed this routine.

  60. This performance was visible and understanding with the uniform they had. As they made shapes and illusions, as they unify as one to make them. All of them were in symphony and had an ultramodern performance. They must of had unlocked a secret in this called team work. They sure were unhappy if they lost because of all their hard work. These musicians and flag people would supercede and do some supernumary actions. This video was amazing from the start and will always be.

  61. This was an overachieving performance, it couldn't get any better with their magnificent, irregular, neolithic team work. Cavaliers is my new favorite thing and it will always have irrational magnification use of work. People should not be self-critical or be self-respected saying they can do this because I'm sure this took a lot of team work and practice.
