Are the Cavaliers all male?
Yes. More than 60 years ago, Chicago Logan Square Boy Scout Troop # 111 was participating in a Boy Scout activity in Chicago's Grant Park. Scoutmaster Donald W. Warren wandered across the street to Soldier Field to see what some of the other scouting groups were doing. There, he witnessed the Racine Explorer Scouts performing in a scout drum corps exhibition or competition. The rest is history. In the fall of 1948 Don Warren organized his willing troop members into their own drum corps, soon to be called The Cavaliers.

While drum and bugle corps and the world have changed dramatically, the Cavaliers have kept the all-male marching member tradition throughout their history and it continues to this day.

Even though the marching corps is male only, the Cavaliers have many incredible women whose support has made the corps successful. These Moms, sisters, friends, girlfriends, daughters, wives, and others have been absolutely vital to The Cavaliers.

Further, to paraphrase Mr. Paul Scherbak:

It's not that The Cavaliers think men can do it better, or that women couldn't hack it, it's that they want to rejoice in the brotherhood that can only be felt by working, sweating, and bleeding with other men. It's a special type of bond. There are a lot of excellent corps out there that accept women; The Cavaliers do not.

Is The Cavaliers being all-male what makes them great? No, it's part of what makes them The Cavaliers. (back to top)

What’s that gear thing they wear around their neck?
The Cavaliers are respectfully known as “The Green Machine”. The gears symbolize that the wearer is an important cog or “gear” in the Green Machine. Multiple gears show the number of seasons that the member has marched, plus one for initiations.

The unofficial record for gears (years) is 14 by both Scott Seal and Steve DeGrauwe, which included years in the Cavalier Cadets and the Cavaliers.

Here's some history: In 1968, the Des Plaines Vanguard gave each of their members a black, circular rubber washer to wear around their necks as a good luck charm. They called it an "Ozo" for some reason. Not to be outdone, the Cavaliers' guys came up with the idea of a green gear to wear around their necks. They called it a "Nozo."

No gears were handed out by the corps again until the spring of 1973. Paul Milano, president of the President's Club, wanted to do something to boost morale a bit after coming off the lackluster 1972 season, so he suggested getting gears for the members, and Personnel Manager Bob Jackson procured the new green gears.

The gear tradition has been continued by the Cavalier members to this day. Recent gears have been customized or painted by the Drum Majors to represent that year's show. (back to top)

What are initiations?
It’s a ceremony welcoming second-year Cavaliers into the Cavalier brotherhood.

For some of the early history see History - 1950s - Part 4. (back to top)

What does Splooie mean?
“Splooie” is a sort of “Go Cavaliers” cheer that started in 1956. The actual history and significance are only known by initiated members. (back to top)

What's the Boo party?
Wayne Karge tells us:

The Boo party is a tradition started in, I believe, 1967. It might have been 1966, but I believe that some of the story is based upon things I remember happening in 1967. During that summer, the equipment staff put a bucket on the back of the equipment truck. Whenever one of us went to get something we were told to drop loose change into the "Boo Bucket". There was no explanation of what the "Boo Bucket" was, we were only ordered to drop in our loose change.

"Put some money in the bucket, boy!"

Toward the end of the season, some of our "stuff" started to disappear. Danny Herres had an aluminum baseball bat he carried with him, and that was missing. I used purple towels, which had orange ribbon stripes on the end (don't bother - this is another long story), and one of those also disappeared.

I believe the first Boo Party was held in Momence, but I won't guarantee the location. I do know it was right before we left for the "Nationals Tour" so Momence was about the right time.

The equipment staff had used the money to buy food and refreshments. They prepared it and set up a very large spread. The corps was invited to the party, which was held at the back of the equipment truck.

When the back doors of the truck were opened Richard Wawrzyniak Sr., better known as Monk, was sitting on a throne holing the baseball bat as a scepter and using the purple towel as a turban. He was announced as the "Big Boo". He presided over the festivities like a Greek god.

The staff had put together what is now called "celebrity roast" where they took pot shots at the management, staff, and members of the corps. They might have taken some shots at other corps personalities and outsiders. Okay, I admit it. They took shots at everyone!

There was a lot of laughter and we ate well that day. This was in the days before corps had a mobile kitchen. Members had to feed themselves. In some of the small towns we visited, good food was hard to find for the large numbers of people who showed up for drum corps contests, so the food was welcome.

Once the festivities were over the owners were given the items that had been "borrowed" by the staff. There were other items, but I am sorry, I don't remember what they were or their significance.

Since this was so much fun, this became an annual occurrence. The Boo Bucket was still to be seen at the CPI booth until a few years ago, but it has since been retired. I remember seeing as late as the early Orlando shows, so it was still around in the mid, to late, 90's.

The party has become a large dinner and party given during championship week for the corps.

Like most things in the Cavaliers, the Boo Party is a long time tradition that started very simply and has grown in proportion. I am sure the current Boo Party will change to meet the needs of future generations, but it will probably still be called the Boo Party. (back to top)

What is the significance of "Somewhere Over The Rainbow"?
"Over The Rainbow", from 1939's "The Wizard of Oz" was a very popular song through the 1940's and is still very well known today. Many corps have played it.

For The Cavaliers, it was the perfect tune at the right time -- just when the Corps began to climb into National prominence. The uplifting sentiments of the lyrics have always struck a resonant chord with the Cavaliers Marching Members.

Read this article Cavaliers Wish on Rainbow Comes True from the September 1952 Midwest Corps News.

For more background, read Traditions - 1950s, specifically Part 6.

Since 1951 the Cavaliers have sung Rainbow as "their" song. It pulls the Corps closer together, and helps create a bond between the members themselves, and between the current membership and over 50 years of Cavalier tradition.

Over the Rainbow

Somewhere, over the rainbow, way up high,
There's a land that I heard of once in a lullaby.

Somewhere, over the rainbow, skies are blue,
And the dreams that you dare to dream really do come true.

Someday I'll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far behind me.

Where troubles melt like lemon drops
Away above the chimney tops
That's where you'll find me.

Somewhere over the rainbow, bluebirds fly,
Birds fly over the rainbow,
Why then, oh why can't I?

If pretty little bluebirds fly
Beyond the rainbow,
Why oh why can't I?

What is the Corps Song?
The Corps song is based on "Semper Paratus" (Always Ready) written by Captain Francis Saltus Van Boskerck, USCG.

The Corps Song

(Full Corps)
We are the corps The Cavaliers,
There is no corps we fear,
We march along and sing this song,
For we know that we never never will go wrong, so

March onto victory Cavaliers,
As we march on through the years,
We march along and sing this song,
For we are The Cavaliers.

What is that drum cadence The Cavaliers always use when leaving the field?
It's called "Iowa".

Here is some of the history -- as remembered by FMMs Wayne Karge and Paul Milano.

Wayne Karge -- "The drum beat was not written by any of the instructors. A bunch of us were hangin' around the hall one night and a couple of the bass drummers were noodling with bass drum beaters on either the floor or one of the tables. They just sort of came up with the beat that night.

The next weekend when we were leaving the field they used it. The crowd immediately started clapping along and it has stuck ever since.
I believe this happened around 1964, or 1965. I know 1964 was the first year we started using tuned bass drums, which was a first to drum corps. This might have been the year, or it might have happened the following year, but it was sometime around then.

I know for sure Tom Hartig was one of the drummers and possibly Dave Hoppe was there that night. I remember this fairly well since I was there and I also know Bob Ross was there (two of the Andrew sisters, even though we hadn't been given that name yet.) I specifically remember Bob really "digging the beat."

Paul Milano -- "I was always under the impression that the name "Iowa" developed due to the cadence's sound that mimicked the word Iowa (Iowa, Iowa, pause, I-O-WA).

I don't know how long it has been so designated, but we were already calling it Iowa back when I joined the drum line in the fall of 1969.
I also recall that one of our bus songs was "Oklahoma" which was sung to the tune of Oklahoma (from the stage and movie musical) but using only the word Oklahoma repeated over and over in place of the regular verse (and bastardizing the syllables to fit the melody and rhythm. There are similarities between how the Oklahoma bus song is sung, and how Iowa is sung. That may have had something to do with it also.

I do know that one of my fellow drummers, Steve Schmid (FMM 70-74) was the gentleman who rewrote Iowa in its current form, after bass drum lines expanded beyond three drums (as it was originally written by Larry McCormick)." (back to top)
