Following the 2015 season, the organization underwent a total revamp, with new leadership on the Board of Directors and hiring of their first full-time Executive Director (Chris Lugo). Lugo, in turn, brought in new program management and designers who overhauled every aspect of The Cavaliers' presentation. Included in this was the first completely new uniform design since 1984, with a new style of uniform for the brass and percussion that allowed for show-themed modifications from year to year, rather than a set look as before. At the 2016 DCI Championships, the corps moved from 6th in semi-finals to 5th in finals, their first top five finish since 2011. Similarly, at the 2017 DCI Championships, the corps moved from 5th in semi-finals to 4th in finals, upsetting the Bluecoats for the first and only time that season.
