Favorites for me

1. 1996 A Defiant Heart. I think this is the best show musically of all time.

2. 1989- this show with New World symphony was absolutely stunning and probably would have won any other year.

3. 2008- Spartacus. No list is complete without a mention of this show. A total GE monster and their most complete show. A magical show in a year that had a lot of other great shows...and I show that I think set up a direction for other corps to follow from 09-present.

4. 1992. This is not a typo. This is the best 1812 overture I have ever heard.

5. 1979- I was debating between this and 2011 but I am going to go with the older show here.

This one should be interesting.  Some of my favorites when I got into the activity were from Phantom Regiment, it saddens me that I personally haven't connected with recent efforts in that way.  

  1. 1996 - I think this is a perfect representation of what Shostakovitch is represented on the field, the emotionally charged nature of his music is perfectly communicated and it's always been a favorite of mine.  
  2. 2007 - Yes, Firebird is awesome but I really connect with the front half of the shows minimalist nature, Vespertine Formations and 1000 Airplanes on the Roof REALLY fit into what I enjoy and they really did those justice.  
  3. 2005 - I read a lot about how people were pretty shocked that they picked this rep. and I can see how but man.  It worked.  SO WELL.  Just 12 minutes of fantastic music and drill.  
  4. 1993 - Lovelovelove this whole show, incredible field coverage visually paired with pretty aggressive and in your face music.  And the ballad.  Fantastic stuff.  
  5. 2006 - They were masters of ballads, and Ave Maria is just........incredible.  Whole show is amazing but that part specifically is just wow.  

Honorable mention to one show, though just one part.  The Schoenberg ballad in 2000 is something I cannot listen to enough, the rest of the show doesn't do a ton for me but the ballad is incredible.
