Tez Posted August 20, 2008 Posted August 20, 2008 In this thread, we will determine the best shows that each of these corps has had to offer in the history of DCI (or pre-DCI if you think that was better). This list of 20 corps is what I have determined to be the most successful 20 in the DCI era. Please vote for the year of the show you think is best for each corps. Feel free to not vote for some if you haven't seen enough of their shows or honestly can't decide... but please only vote one show per corps. I will keep a tally on the votes and post them probably mid-next week.... we'll see how many posts there are by then. Here are the 20 corps: (for ease of use, just copy this list and put the years next to the names in your reply) 27th Lancers: Anaheim Kingsmen: Blue Devils: Blue Knights: Blue Stars: Bluecoats: Boston Crusaders: Bridgemen: Cadets: Carolina Crown: Cavaliers: Crossmen: Glassmen: Madison Scouts: Phantom Regiment: Santa Clara Vanguard: Spirit: Star of Indiana: Suncoast Sound: Troopers: Quote
