A "fan favorite" show doesn't necessarily mean it's a really good show.
70 years--two titles....POW!!!!
A lot of people would go nuts in the stands if the Scouts did nothing but play Malaguena, form those slowly-forming company fronts, make the fleur-de-lis, the M, and then some dancing around, or a combination of those 5, but that doesn't make it a really good show.fixed.
And don't ask me what "a really good show" consists of. I know what a really good show looks like, and it's not the above mentioned. Not anymore, at least.Don the flame suit, amigo.

Apparently maintaining stick heights is also a lost art.

any Madison show with Malaguena is a winner in my book.
That pretty much IS any Madison show.......

Ah yes..... '82 BD snares....one of the cleanest snare-lines to ever grace the DCI field!! The others were 1981, 82 Bayonne, 1983 27th; 1987 SCV; 1991 Cadets, 1997 Cavies; 2006 Bluecoats!
78 Madison!
It's not hard to be clean when your book consists of three bars of ride cymbal followed by a buzz-roll into a rim-shot!

Here's the 1974 Madison Scouts:

Despite all of our own affiliations, we should all agree that our beloved activity needs a healthy Madison Scouts out on the field. I hope we see just that.
Agreed. Now, if Troopers and Blue Stars would make the top twelve, then the power of the Midwest Combine would return intact!

I think the Scouts were pretty bad ### in the 1980s
Sorry that your Scout Borg glasses are clouding your judgement, but this is definately NOT intimidating:

I think 'Yowza' was all the rage in the Roaring Twenties when dance contests were....all the rage.
IIRC in the movie 'It's A Wonderful Life' there's a dance contest which takes place at the High School. Jimmy Stewart and Donna Reed's characters are involved and I believe the contest organizer shouts 'Yowza Yowza Yowza' to kick things off. That picture was set in the Twenties just prior to the Crach of '29.
Huh??? It's a Wonderful Life is set in the 40's!!! Harry Bailey a war hero; check out the cars; see the Bells of St. Mary's on the theater marquee. And as someone else has said, the emcee at the dance (it was actually at the school graduation party), yells Oh, yez, oh yez, oh yez . . .

I realize that most of it is in good fun. But how would you feel if you were a program coordinator and you come to find a huge community mocking an concept that you worked hard to put together?
It's one thing to say you dislike it. It's another to belittle it.
I guess it would be preferrable to posting on DCP how you "stole" a show concept from a High School Marching Band from Michigan..................................... ^0^

i'll admit it...i voted several times. mostly out of fun, and not enough to sway the vote.
but whoever actually programmed a computer to do it for them...
not cool.
So, it's O.K. for you to cheat, but uncool when someone else does it????

I would like to nominate Cavies 1992 .
Firstly I marched 92 and I can say that Cavies deserved to win, but it felt a little like they won a little by default, almost that the others didn't have that winning show and they seemed to win it pure based on the wonderful "package" that they put together.
Technically it was, lets say, less than challenging - i mean just listen to the parts.. but on a whole it works... and i like the show
But normally the DCI winners are clearly technically and performance wise ahead of the rest and they have the package to match (ie: it has winning show written all over it) - i don't think this was the case in 1992 for Cavies... still a nice show though
Do I need to point out how radically the judging system was changed after Madison's '88 win??? It's as if the drum corps community said to itself......."we can't let THIS happen again"!!!!!!!!
Cavaliers so called "gimmicks".
