Fran Haring Posted November 25, 2010 Share Posted November 25, 2010 What would you say is the most famous show ever? Frank Sinatra at the Paramount Theater in NYC, early 1940s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rayfallon Posted November 26, 2010 Share Posted November 26, 2010 I loved every single answer. If the question is greatest (written) show I might go with 65 Royal Airs. If it's performed show - I agree with 66 Casper - changed Drum Corps forever (66 Cavies almost as good) If it's one show, one performance I have to go with 69 Yankee Rebels at the Dream (and they didn't win). My favorite written show, from every aspect - 84 Garfield, with 83 a close call. All depends on perspective I guess. My own personal just cause I loved it show: 1965 Sunrisers, and pretty much every other 60s Sunriser show. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommytimp Posted November 26, 2010 Share Posted November 26, 2010 Lots of answers to this particular question. SCV at South Milwaukee, 1970? BD 1976? Garfield 1982? 1984? SCV 1989? Madison 1975? Reveries at VFW in 1966? 1965 VFW at McCormick Place? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pearlsnaredrummer77 Posted November 27, 2010 Share Posted November 27, 2010 For Historical Junior Corps: I'd have to say 1983 Garfield Cadets. It broke the choke hold the West seemed to have on DCI. Yes. It was a real paradigm shift. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottgordon Posted November 27, 2010 Share Posted November 27, 2010 This was quite a challenge, trying to avoid favorites and think about what particular shows were the most "famous". There are many reasons for a show to be well known, including being most talked-about, most-referenced, having widely distributed or well-known recordings, being at an influential time and so being widely referred to, etc. After a long, grueling, 10 minutes of thought, here is what I came up with: 1. 1975 Scouts 2. 1975 Muchachos (1 and 2 were a cinch - the "what if" still spawns a new thread every 6 months) 3. 1989 SCV (there were more influential shows, but say SCV and most people think Ph.ofOpera) 4. 1972 Kingsmen (I think everyone knows they were the first DCI champs) 5. 1965 Royal Airs (Royer's interview on PBS kept this legend going) 6. 1961 Caballeros (because of their studio record, that was re-released years later) 7. 1980 Blue Devils (because of the State of the Art record) 8. 2008 Phantom (the show that bridged the dinos and the moderns) 9. 1982 Phantom (the 2008 show kept this legend going) 10. 1984 Cadets (1983 may have been more defining, but 84 made Zingali IT) There are other shows that deserve to be more famous (some were posted by others).
