Every time I have tried to do this in the past I have been unable to narrow it down to 10. So I decided to place a restriction on myself and allow only one show per corps. In chronological order:

Cadets 84

Santa Clara 91

Crossmen 92

Madison 99

Blue Devils 00

Cavaliers 04

Crown 07

Phantom 08

Bluecoats 14

Blue Knights 14

If this were a list of which shows do I listen to/watch the most, it would be almost all Cadets shows. So, I'm being slightly dishonest here in trying to diversify my "Top 10" list. But I do love all these shows:

Star of Indiana 1990 "Belshazzar's Feast"

Cavaliers 1991 "Cavalier Anthems Advent Collection"

Cadets 1992 "To Tame the Perilous Skies"

Cadets 1993 "In the Spring, at the Time when Kings go off to War"

Phantom Regiment 1993 "The Modern Imagination"

Phantom Regiment 1996 "A Defiant Heart"

Santa Clara Vanguard 1999 "Inventions for a New Millennium"

Cavaliers 2004 "007"

Phantom Regiment 2003 "Harmonic Journeys"

Cadets 2011 "Between Angels and Demons"

I feel like cheating, so here are my Top 10 pre- and post- 2000 (I choose this because of the official switch from G-Bugles to Bb instruments, though I know there were holdouts. Looking at you Racine Scouts. Actually, 2011's pretty impressive.)

Pre-2000:

1. Roman Images

2. Defiant Heart

3. The Planets

4. Music of Barber and Bartok

5. Madison Scouts 1988

6. Inventions for a New Millennium

7. New World Symphony

8. Appalachian Spring

9. Blue Devils 1982

10. A Drum Corps Fan's Dream

Post-2000:

1. TILT

2. Through a Glass, Darkly

3. The Zone

4. e=mc2

5. re:Rite of Spring

6. For the Common Good

7. Frameworks

8. Felleniesque

9. Spartacus

10. Mad World

Favorite Years: 1989, 2011

Favorite Era: As an activity? Late 50's, early 60's. As an art? Right now. I like my art WEIRD.

I skew old school!

1974 Anaheim Kingsmen-unbelievable

1975 Madison Scouts-power!

1976 Blue Devils-changed the game

1976 Bridgemen-changed the game, well in a different way

1984 Garfield-probably best show I have seen on the field

1984 Blue Devils-probably the second best show I have seen on the field

1986 Blue Devils-so clean

1989 Phantom-still remember the power!

1993 Star-changed the game

1995 Madison Scouts-pure emotion
