1982 -- Such a musical breakthrough. I still listen to it. 1984 -- West Side Story. Nuff said. Also, I was there on finals night. 1989 -- Les Mis. It was a show that came so close to coming together. SO CLOSE. 2000 -- Pure showmanship. Kind of reminds me of 1988 Madison Scouts in the amount of raw energy poured into the performance 2002 -- Yes, the narration was annoying. But God, I love Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy. 2005 -- The Zone: To this day I have no freaking idea what they were trying to do here, but ###### if it didn't work in spades.

One of my all-time favorite shows!

I'm 60, and always tell people that I'm very immature for my age. 🙂

Heh. Did grad school at Penn State; when driving up from Alabama, I never needed a sign to let me know when I crossed from Maryland into PA.

Dunno, but I've always loved that show.

Oh yeah, still listen to them a lot. Back when I used to run (sadly, a LONG time ago) I would use various shows to help me stay on pace. BD 82 was great for when I wanted to end with a flat out sprint.

Revisit Songs from the Winter Palace but call it "The North Remembers".

BD is really more of a long-term bond at this point--yeah, you'll get a steady return, but there's not a lot of room for growth. A good option to stablize your portfolio just in case. Bluecoats--Not sure about buying more stock, but am interested in getting high and rewatching their show (and the Blue Stars'). Troopers--like the Troopers, go big or go home. Mandarins--see above. They just keep swinging for the fences. Phantom--their show clicked with the audience in a big way, but didn't seem to quite click with the judges. If they can adjustwell, they could have a breakout next year. Cadets--As retreat showed, those traditional unis are still a big draw.

I get the sentiment, but BD was just on another level tonight.

God, I love their 2018 show.

What garden did this guy go to again?

..and Flo flaked out right as Arthur bought it....

I love the show, but the brass just isn't getting the kind of projection they need from those horns.

lord, that flugel solo...
