Cavaliers cancel Europe tour
The Cavaliers have decided to forgo their planned June, 2007 competitive tour to Europe and will remain in the United States, beginning their summer competitive schedule on Saturday June 16th, in Annapolis.
The corps had hoped to confirm the trip in September, 2006, however extended the decision to January, 2007 because of the difficulty encountered by promoter Rob van Koningshoven, who had been developing the series of competitive events. The delay of the September confirmation was caused by interference from the overwhelming presence of the summer 2006 World Cup events in Europe.
The corps' board of directors felt that continuing attempts to secure sponsorship for the European portion of the summer tour at this time were not in the best interest of The Cavaliers, the European corps which had expressed their interest or intent, as well as the overall success of the events being planned.
The Cavaliers are extremely disappointed that they will not be able to perform with the corps who had expressed interest, as the experience would have developed life-long memories for all involved. They are, however, hopeful that such a venture can be accomplished in the future. The corps wishes to thank Rob van Konigshoven for his hard work, commitment and dedication to the project.
A new 2007 appearance schedule for The Cavaliers will be posted in the coming weeks.
