Mike I love 94 BD but here's the thing, in my opinion it's where the chop and bop arranging started (lots of perc breaks where in the past the brass musical lines flowed more) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HouserCD Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 (edited) I can still hear the distinctive echo of the North Tenors, Channel One Suite, Bonnie Ott's solo, Legend of a One Eyed Sailor, the Gate Maneuver in the closer... then staying to watch the encore performance from the 50 yard line upper deck with their snare tech Steve Chorazy only to miss my corps bus and run at a sprint for several blocks through downtown Philadelphia to catch up with it. Thank God for red lights. That was 1976, Franklin Field, Blue Devils, the first of many DCI Championships.

Lance Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 (edited) i have a terrible time picking favorite shows for corps that are consistently at the top i care more about music than anything, so for my taste: 91, 93, 96, 04, 12 i think that's pretty good for covering a quarter century of BD i had no idea anybody was keeping tabs and making a comprehensive list, btw. pretty cool.

AND... surprise surprise...a show with a lot of mentions and just as many positive and negative is 2012. Thank you for your contributions! Very interesting thread!
