brassdude6171 Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 Stumbled upon Madison 1992 for the first time tonight and that ending holy volume... Is this as loud as it gets or have I still not found the loudest? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flammaster Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 Drum corps was much louder in the 70's 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hrothgar15 Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 I think it may make sense to group this distinction based on the types of instruments used. The horns in used in the 1970s are very different from the horns used in 1990s which are very different from those used today. This (along with instructional approach) is a pretty big determiner of the max volume you'll hear (or seem to hear) in any given show. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mingusmonk Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 (edited) Lots of talk about 1980 SOA. Would loved to have heard it live. That and 80 Madison ending sound pretty incredible on albums.

You can answer it any way you wish. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

None of your business how other people respond to a question. You can answer it any way you wish. I suppose, but I do like it when people actually provide an answer to the question asked, versus going off on a tangent. I'm sure I'm guilty of that time to time. I think the opening hit of 78 Spirit was pretty darn loud. Back then loud also meant brash much of the time. Oh well that's how it was.

PopcornEater1963 Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 Spirit of Atlanta in 1979 and 1980. I'll never forget when Spirit was asked to march halftime for Georgia Tech at the Tech-Alabama game ( because Tech students weren't even back in school yet). Alabama brought their "Million Dollar Band" with what looked like a million members. And...just a couple of weeks off of Finals, Spirit walked out onto the field behind them with 128 and just blew the paint off the pressbox. Good times. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the metric is from hearing the corps via live stream or vids, then the comparison is the capacity of the electronics and modern technology to broadcast as much as it is a comparison of our ears' abilities to hear.

Jurassic Lancer Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 (edited) I'm sticking with Madison 1975. First note of Slaughter on 10th Avenue and final push of Way We Were. Edited May 7, 2017 by Jurassic Lancer 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
