IN FOCUS: Over the Rainbow

Welcome back one last time to IN FOCUS! This week we will be sharing with you photos from both our photographers.

The 2021 Drum Corps Season comes to a close. After over six weeks of hard work on and off the field, The Cavaliers finally put a wrap on their 2021 production, LIVE! From The Rose. With the end of this abridged season comes the hope of a return to a regular competitive season in 2022.

The DCI Celebration event saw each corps play an encore after each performance; among The Cavaliers’ encore selections was “Jade” by Former Marching Member and DCI contributor Michael Boo, who passed away in November of 2020. Boo was posthumously inducted into the DCI Hall of Fame on Friday.

On behalf of The Cavaliers, we would like to thank you for joining us on this unusual season and for continuing to support what we do.
