<Gasp> There is no such thing as a forgotten Chuck Naffier arrangement! Now you march right upstairs and wash your mouth out with soap, young man. Then listen to 1993 Colts until you can stop misbehaving!

Ok I give. Free Again, 1970 Blessed Sacrament.

I guess the OP should have asked for the best ballads since the year 2000 instead of the best ballads in the past 25 years, as it’s clear some of you don’t get the maths. Otherwise we could add the largo from New World Symphony by ‘89 Phantom Regiment. Or ‘89 BD (non frack version). I mean, you could pick a couple from every year!

“Past 25 years”. I like your choices but,…

There’s only like ten people posting here in the offseason and you want something moved to the historical section, where no one posts? Nah. I would rather post everything here in the world class discussion.

In second place, …. which is actually a tie for first…. <Pandemonium Ensues>

Seems like if you’re under a NDA, you are likely no longer with the organization with which you have it. Kind of like whistleblowers. Might be vindicated but likely have left the company. Too much bad blood. So - the idea of witnessing a crime within that same organization would appear to be unlikely, since you probably wouldn’t be associated with that organization anymore.

No contest. The absolute best was the first 2/3 of their 1986 show. Followed by 1985. I don’t know what happened the last 1/3 of that 1986 show but, ugh….

Piano. Since a piano is a percussion instrument it should be completely fine.

Mic’d instruments. All I know is, a mic’d brass instrument, particularly low brass, sounds like it’s coming through a 20 foot pipe. But everyone seems to say there’s nothing wrong with the quality of the sound. 🤷‍♂️

Can someone educate me on how harmonica and viola were legal prior to this “featured instrument” vote?

What “rules” are they Presently violating? No one seems to have that answer. But keep tut tutting. The hive mentality in here is very entertaining.

They took all actions required by the State of California to bring themselves back into compliance. Sorry to hear they are actively engaging in fraud. You folks here must be a lot smarter than those public employees in California charged with providing oversight.

Well, this appears to be quite a conspiracy. Has anyone driven past Ms. Bauman’s house to see if she’s done a recent big remodel? On another note, how many corps have junior corps? Blue Devils. Colts? Anyone else? No? Huh. We bemoan the decline of this activity. So those precious few corps that remain, we hold close to our hearts and cherish, right? Well, except for SCV. Someone who didn’t get a job there wants to drag them into oblivion.

What did they have for breakfast?
