IN FOCUS: The Calm Before the Storm
Welcome back to IN FOCUS! My name is Oliver McKenna and I’m excited to bring you more photos from this summer!
With the Corps’ time at Adrian College quickly coming to an end and the 2021 Summer Tour fast approaching, The Cavaliers have been working tirelessly to get their show, LIVE! From The Rose, on the field and perfected. This week marked the first full run of the show, meaning now the real work can begin on getting it ready for next week’s Adrian College Community Night and the subsequent shows in La Crosse, WI, Praire, WI, and Dubuque, IA.
