Tenoris4Jazz Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 Lots. Crossmen's ingenious spectrum flags. BD's "slow drip" front to finish the ballad. Perfect mix of visual and audio resolution. SCV's flower bloom in the opener. Stunning. Cavalier's simple but effective horn-to-the-box move on their first impact. Pow. Only drum corps gives you that. Troopers' 0-to-0 company front in "Fix You." For those of you too young to have seen it, Cadets did this at the company front push at the end of Appalachian Spring in '87. That's how the show ended until Finals, when they did the "retreat" ending and faded out. Only took 29 years to have it appear again. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lance Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 SCV had something similar with their Fog City Sketches show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I was on the 50 when the front reformed). For the record, though, the outro was in place all season .

Corpfan Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 Lots of favorites but here are a few that stick out: Loved BD show front to back but the coolest visual to me was the back and forth brass line coming across the field after the bieber dance. SCV rain drops Crowns rifle toss. That thing had to be in the air 20 yards! BK's black hole Loved the tomb stone chairs and how they used them Anybody notice the sideline trumpet quartet "whip" at the end of Cavies just before they rushed the pit. That was funny It had to grow on me but I really liked the Crossman run from "infinity" to the closing set. Cool effect Maybe the most memorial visual moment though wasn't even planned...the "wink" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freakin hillarious. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DasTuba Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 A lot of good moments mentioned, I'll add Crown doing the ripple rifle toss over the entire hornline during Journey. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corpfan Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 I loved that show more and more each time a saw it. Got to see it live mid season and never really caught up with it but by finals it was one of my favorites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hook'emCavies Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 Cavies closer.... visually, it was amazing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cappybara Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 (edited) Honestly all of BD and SCV's show for me. I think BD was starting to get a little bland visually the past few years but the visual program this year was honestly amazing. As for SCV.. No explanation needed. That opening drill was gorgeous, as were all the other nature motifs scattered throughout Edited August 18, 2016 by Cappybara Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
