2006 DCI World Champions

Congratulations to my good friend Jeff Fielder, corps director of the now SEVEN TIME World Champion Cavaliers on their victory last evening:

On a night when many corps moved up or down in the rankings, the Cavaliers of Rosemont, Ill., rose above the scuffle and maintained their first-place status to win the 2006 DCI Division I World Championship with a final score of 97.200.

The Cavaliers’ director Jeff Fiedler was very happy with the result. “A lot of good performances obviously caused some decision-making, and we had a great performance ourselves, so when the dust clears, we wind up on top,” he said. “But it’s a good feeling no matter what. It’s a good feeling for this group of students – some of them have never experienced this.”
