98' is my favorite show, but Les Preludes was awesome

Are you sure they played Les Preludes? I remember Southwind doing it a few years back, but I don't think Glassmen ever played it.

And I voted for 99. I recall complaints that the music was esoteric, but I thought it was very hummable...

1999, with 1998 as a close second and '97 as no slouch either. :)

Never understood how anyone called '99 boring (they used to, anyway).

I agree completely. Peacock Variations and the other Kodaly segments (I obviously can't recall which ones at the moment) worked well and people outside the activity actually listen to them. Besides, Kodaly was a fascinating character. Not quite Wagner, but close. :mmm:

If it makes you feel better, some dweeb at the souvie stand that year started ranting about the "boring" show. After talking for a while, I discovered that Holsinger was like a god to him. b**bs

I voted for '98 since I was a member but I was so dissapointed that I couldn't march in '99 because I loved that show too. ('98 was my age out year)

Gbass...did you ever march division III?

98 would be my favorite! I love the Borodin stuff! 99 was very good too! The 98 Glassmen drumline really grabbed me at Denver that year,...and really got me excited about drumming! 98 was my rookie season,...and that drumline wowed me!!!
