My back hurts watching this…(Cavaliers 2008)

Ow ow ow ow ow ow…cool!

[@jackrogers3657]

2008 is arguably the greatest year in drum corps. Such reinvention of shows and general effect from so many programs.

[@cole_bh0373]

2019 was also a innovative year

[@MordasMakesStuff]

Love it or hate it, I think Bloo 22 was a really new, innovative show that has the potential to change drum corps forever. I just hope they go back to actual uniforms before I march there

[@rifle2563]

​@@cole_bh0373 agreed, 08 was a standout year, i'd argue 2014 also

[@owencouchman5746]

This year is another renaissance

[@master_wilds]

Scv 2018 gives it a run for its money

[@ikurasake]

This is pure GE

[@epsilonproductions23]

Then Spartacus came in and took the whole stadium

[@josephemerson4559]

Samuri is one of the best GE shows ever. the problem is that being one of the best isn’t good enough when you’re competing against *the* best GE show ever, aka Spartacus

[@davewroberts]

Cavies drill from that era was insanely LEGEND!!

[@burdrchitect1680]

Yep, but in today's era it wouldn't count. lol.

[@hidden2098]

YEA THATS MY BOY, REP THOSE MELLOPHONES MY MAN

[@birdee3475]

Hell yeah dude!

[@itsjustkay2689]

Us mellos are just another breed

[@nathansfunland3875]

Go mellos!!!

[@RaichuEnjoy]

I’m the only one of 3 mellos at my school that actually knows the fingerings and can play the parts ☹️

[@nathansfunland3875]

@@RaichuEnjoy very sad ☹️

[@illumynarty]

Some of the coolest looking drill ever immediately followed by one hell of a balancing act, this is why I love Cavies

[@jeffgray7922]

Takes incredible strength to be able to do this. Respect. 2008 was a really great year for drumcorps.

[@carson3370]

Man I'd love to see 08 finals live. Such a solid year

[@DavidH91]

I was lucky enough to be there. It was bananas.

[@nathanielmori1865]

The dusting of the shoulder was so badass and I’m here for it!

[@jariemonah]

It's like an homage to college marching band drum majors when they bend backwards to touch the field with their busby hat.

[@barrymonroy7138]

One of the best shows in 2008. Drumline had a really bad ass solo as well!!!

[@daviddressler1666]

The brush of the uni when he gets up though😳😳😳

[@melloxsteve]

His name is Cody, and he was the Michigan Drum Major the following school year. He was practicing this for the Fall (he had his Mace on tour too) and Andy Toth saw him and decided to work it into the show.

[@sethbaron9603]

Cavaliers are just built different

[@user-pe6np5cg4g]

Let’s go mellophone!!!

[@gavin_bigred]

Looking like a big 10 or hbcu drum major lmao

[@Sforzando_DCI]

From what I heard, he was Indiana’s drum major, it’s been years since I was told who it was though so I could be wrong

[@akedah_Faithtakesrisk]

Not even a guess

[@fondleballsxi]

OSU drum major reference

[@savahnahope5327]

Cavaliers be swag lol

[@chrismorris2624]

I soooo miss when corps moved like this and didnt muddle the field with props.

[@schooling_wormz]

props to that mellophone
we love mellophones

[@benjiboy9907]

I generally prefer the creativity of modern DCI show music and show design, but god damn old school drill went crazy sometimes.

[@kinggiggles8716]

My back snapped in half just by watching this

[@Amhesity]

We have to do something like this in our show this year we have to drop to our knees real slow

[@stephensmith6790]

Better than anything out there today in dci

[@MetalX_OC]

Nice backbend. there I actually had no clue DCI's do this lol.

[@anthonydixon4636]

Lol same

[@dcsnare315x]

Back when drum corps moved.

[@sweater_lover2330]

[@stevenhatcher9133]

Now with athletic trainers in DCI there’s NO TELLING what students will accomplish!!

[@BulletSpectre]

I understand, I play Sousaphone 😂

[@knoji]

ああ、イ寺かぁ！

[@uzielmolina]

He must've been the ohio state frum major

[@aubbriebee11]

[@marcosishes]

Of course it's a mellophone player

[@itsjustkay2689]

We’re just better 😌

[@tokyo4678]

[@jankowski809]

Actually how.

[@fishayfishayfishmcbites]

[@calebatkins9496]

Ohio state drum major fr

[@looni__7991]

Please tell me he was a college band drum major somewhere

[@michaelburke9137]

With that backbend it had to have been Ohio State.

[@allthegarlicbread4008]

Try doing that with a bass drum on and not fucking rolling away

[@theautisticdoomgod]

👁🫦👁

[@cavalierfan2008]

Then play more Cavies

[@Roboticwhale19]

Damn the cavaliers fell off so hard.

[@AdolfFauci]
