Cavaliers Announce 2021 Production
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(ROSEMONT, Ill.) — Back after a summer away, The Cavaliers Drum & Bugle Corps are thrilled to announce their 2021 production, “LIVE! From The Rose.” With only 10 SHOWS this season, The Cavaliers are looking to rock the stadiums each night for their LIVE audiences while bringing a flare of Rosemont along the way celebrating our 40th anniversary with the village!
“There is no script when this team gets together to design a show. It’s organic, it’s passionate discussions, belly laughs and a genuine respect for each other, our membership, alumni and the audience. 2021 seems to be about generating all the feels; loud playing, energy and displaying the power that a drum corps can generate. Our 2021 musical production will have the signature pacing and emotion people have come to expect from us, including a musical twist or two for sure! With the addition of Clif Walker as the front ensemble arranger, the freshness of what we are presenting is exciting. Our 2021 production pulls from multiple genres such as rock, traditional barbershop quartet, cinema, pop music and big band, all wrapped up in a powerfully cohesive product that will be ignited by some of the most talented membership we’ve had in over a decade. We are excited about bringing ‘LIVE! From The Rose’ to life this summer!” - Michael McIntosh, Percussion Caption Manager/Music Coordinator
“We are excited to be returning to the field this summer. The last fourteen months have been a challenge for everyone. It’s great to see all of the work done by DCI, the member corps and here at The Cavaliers move from a discussion phase into traditional season preparations. The activity at the garage is more frequent and orders are turning into deliveries. We are confident that the health and safety protocols the Cavalier Medical Group have in place to meet and exceed those set by the CDC and local agencies will provide the best opportunity for members, staff and volunteers to return to the activity we love in the safest manner possible.
Our design team was committed to providing the members a show that was going to be something that they wouldn’t want to miss. And boy do I feel like they are delivering. The instructional team has created a great offseason program and kept the members engaged and ready to hit the ground running when we finally move in. I can’t say enough about the members adapting and adjusting to the challenges and making the best out of a crazy situation. We wanted this season to be about them.
We took advantage of our time away from the field to get better off of it. We have solidified our finances and will roll on tour with a new or refurbished equipment fleet sporting a new design. We can’t wait to get started and to see you at a show this summer.” - Monte Mast, Executive Director of CAP&E
