For their 60th anniversary season, The Cavaliers celebrate the ancient Japanese warrior's culture of honor, courage, and discipline in their 2008 presentation - Samurai. Featuring original music and complex choreography, the show offers a compelling interpretation of the Samurai's heroic history in four dramatic movements.
Bushido - The Way of the Warrior
Ronin - Masterless Samurai
Ken-jutsu - The Art of the Sword
Fumeiyo yori shi wo - Death Before Dishonor
With their unique brand of coordinated innovation, The Cavaliers will present a dramatic interpretation of the Samurai lifestyle that both honors their heritage and breathes new life into their legacy.
JUNE 27-29, 2008 ~ NORTH CENTRAL COLLEGE~ NAPERVILLE, IL
The Cavaliers will sponsor a three day drum camp for young men and women of high school-age (students entering high school, through Class of 2012 graduates) who are interested in experiencing a serious, three-day program, learning to improve their skills and knowledge of music performance. To request further information, please send inquiries to camp@cavaliers.org or contact The Cavaliers office at 847-685-8412.
Volunteers are the life-blood of the behind-the-scenes operation of The Cavaliers in the summer. From the first servings of breakfast, into the almost-immediate supervised transition of a lunch for 175; through the sewing of a green jacket that may have opened a seam the night before; to the running of an errand to the local pharmacy for an important item, or the placement of a concert bass drum and a side podium before a performance; with the counting of T-shirts or patches or tuba audition books which precede and follow a set-up of the Cavalier Promotions' vehicle at a contest site.
All these things would not happen without the unheralded service of many personnel. The Cavaliers could not take the field each summer evening without the work of many dedicated volunteers.
Mark your calendars to join Cavalier members, alumni, family and friends for:
