They are the only champion in history to not win a single caption outright, but tied for 1st in three (GE with Phantom, Brass with BD, and Percussion with Cavies). They finished 3rd in Visual. Personally, I'm not sure why they didn't win GE and Brass outright, but it is what it is. Sorry for being that guy, useless fact alert, Percussion had a 3 way tie with Cavies, SCV and Star 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone remember what the ending to the show was before that got put in? What I remember (I was in a smaller corps and usually saw Star either from the side or, a couple times, from the stands) was that the original ending was a long, drawn-out crescendo, using the fourth movement, The Pines of the Appian Way. Honestly, although it was executed nicely, it simply lacked energy. It was a few weeks later that the new ending appeared (after the new opener drill, too) and literally everyone was abuzz about it, from the spectators to the kids in other corps. I remember lining up for retreat and hearing the crowds light up for Star, thinking, "Holy f***, whatever they're doing must be WAY better than before..."

That's what got fans out of their seats. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish we had the modern changes (eletronics, props, visual uniforms) with hornlines playing most of the show and great drill. I felt SCV was the only corps last year to do it for me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
