The history section is inaccurate on championships and undeferated seasons. The Hawthorne Caballeros have many undefeated seasons and many many championships. 68.37.244.220 01:04, 29 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Cavaliers Drum and Bugle Corps
The information is accurate because the Cavaliers and the Caballeros belong to separate organizations and thus do not compete against each other. The reason that the Hawthorne Caballeros' championships are not considered here is that the Cavaliers are a junior drum and bugle corps, in which members are not allowed to march past the age of 21, while the Caballeros are a senior drum and bugle corps, in which there is no upper level age restriction.
- Just to add to that, the two organizations are Drum Corps International and Drum Corps Associates, for Junior and Senior corps, respectively.
The Blue Devils are a Junior Drum and Bugle Corps, and they had 2 undefeated seasons ALSO... 1982 and 1994. In the Cavaliers history it mention that Cavaliers are the ONLY junior corps to achieve this... That is FALSE!
[edit] Best Decade
Just to confirm, with five world championships in this decade (2000, 2001, 2002, 2004, 2006), is that the best decade for any DCI corps?
- Looking at the list of DCI Division I World Champions, it seems like that would be an accurate statement. Previously, the greatest number of wins in a decade was a tie, with the Garfield Cadets in the 80's and the Blue Devils in the 90's having four wins each. In the seventies, Bd's and SCV each had 3.

- I just added a section about the best decade, I called it Winning Decade, but someone else may have a better name for it. If anyone makes any changes to it, please mention them here so that way, something important isn't inadvertantly deleted. Thanks. Green Machine 6 06:35, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

- Technically, the Cavies are tied for the winningiest decade as 2000 is not part of the same decade as 01, 02, 04, & 06. Decades end in 00's and being in 01's.
[edit] Championship Years and Repetoire Sections: Overkill for Wiki?
These sections are great but seem like a bit of overkill for a wiki article, IMHO. Seems like they would be more appropriate on the regular cavies site?

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:CavaliersStandingMan.gif
Image:CavaliersStandingMan.gif is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 05:44, 2 June 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Cleanup shows
I went ahead and cleaned up and wikified the table of shows. I didn't spend a very long time on it, as it was really tedious, but you will probably want to look it over for errors. Mynameisnotpj (talk) 03:39, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Brass Philosophy
The reasons behind the removal of the brass philosophy section were listed as:
1. Removed brass philosophy section since this entry should be a high level overview of the corps
2. The brass philosophy changes multiple times a decade
I've reverted the change and here's why:
The current brass philosophy is a very distinctive part of the new identity the corps has forged over the last decade or so. It has led to the corps' first and second brass trophies (in 2002 and 2006, respectively) of the DCI era.
While there have been a few changes in the brass approach the corps has taken over the course of its history, "the brass philosophy changes multiple times a decade" is not a factual statement at present. The current philosophy is now going on its eighth season, with no evidence to suggest any imminent danger of extinction.
