Yes, I have a Blue Devils problem. I don't want to have it, but I do. It persists year after year. Maybe this year it will subside (if those steps don't seem too much like an obvious, too-soon, copy-paste of Bluecoats' ramps).

A Cadets problem too, apparently. Tsk tsk. :)

Not trying to single you out, but it has always just strike me odd why people feel the need to qualify why they've excluded BD (Cadets is probably the other biggie, but any corps really) in lists like these. It just comes off as backhanded, even if that isn't the intent. Different strokes for different folks. It's all good!

2007- Carolina Crown- extremely fun show. Runner up: the cadets.

2008- Phantom Regiment- Spartacus is a very special well planned and executed show. Runner up Carolina Crown- Finis was a big bold show that demonstrated crown is serious and here to stay. Shout out to bluecoats emotional performance of the boxer.

2009- Carolina Crown- not their best show but I didn't like a lot from 2009

2010- Cavaliers Mad World. I love this show and can't get enough of it. My favorite Cavaliers show ever. 

2011- cadets- fun, well executed show with great programming. 

2012- Carolina Crown - for the common good.  Saw this show live at finals and has absolutely amazed. Such a clean fantastic performance full of top notch brass. Runner up: spirit of Atlanta...love the down n dirty jazz

2013- Crown gets it again with an intellectual program and world class brass. Runner up the bluecoats with a nice American show.

2014- Blue Knights- that one second...such a beautiful, contemplative tear jerker. Also loved bluecoats and SCV. Tilt was a fun to watch well planned show and SCV just had a classy, killer performance.

2015- Carolina Crown- inferno because it was a beast of a show live.  This is probably my favorite year of the past 10 and I find myself watching Kinetic Noise and Spark of Invention over and over again. Kinetic Noise is so refreshing, complicated and different, and Spark of Invention is so refined and classy. Put either of those 2 shows in another year and it would have been my favorite. 3 of my favorite all time shows

2016- Bluecoats-downside up... great fun, upbeat jazzy show...I honestly liked Kinetic Noise better though. Runner up: the Crossmen...loved last years show. Honorable mentions for BK and the Academy.

2017- yet to see anything live but I am between SCV and Bluecoats for my fav. Really liking what Boston and BK are doing too.
