Loudest Endings Ever...
TommySopranoContra replied to Phantom&Phitch's topic in DCI World Class Corps Discussions
I was 2 when it was performed but I'm really amazed how Star 91 didn't lose volume towards the end, really kept it pushing during the cross to cross. -
Looking for info from an old thread

Bill Cook and his new investment
TommySopranoContra replied to fzq's topic in DCI World Class Corps Discussions
Bill Cook + Drum Corps = Star of Indiana = Instant finals participation, Winning 4 high brasses in a row, took only 6 years to win the trophy... Whew if Trooper can do that. I'd go bonkers. -
Madison Scouts Question

I had no idea that a bit of volume and a key switch of a hornline was such a big deal. -

Toughest Guard book of the 2000s
TommySopranoContra replied to Phantom&Phitch's topic in DCI World Class Corps Discussions
That was a tad rough -
Name shows that you consider "colorful", where color was used in an effective or simply aesthetic way. 1998 The Cadets - "Stonehenge" Flags around the corners! CRAZY! 2002 Phantom Regiment - "Heroic Sketches" THE BALLADS IN THE FLAGS WERE WOOO!! 2004 Phantom Regiment - "Apasionada 874" Possibly the most pretty show I've seen. The red and blue flags were amazing

2003 The Cadets' remix to Malaguena was awesome especially with the amazing percussion section. -

Very Cool Star video from 1993
TommySopranoContra replied to Spirit Age-Out's topic in DCI World Class Corps Discussions
I've always had a similar undescribable aroma coming from Star and The Cadets. Possibly why they are my two favorite corps. -

Love the music,
TommySopranoContra replied to yabetterbelieveit's topic in DCI World Class Corps Discussions
Actually let me add 1993 Medea. I care much for the visuals, thought they were good at times, but it was alright. Loved the music, dynamics and everything. -

Best performing guard of the 2000s
TommySopranoContra replied to Phantom&Phitch's topic in DCI World Class Corps Discussions
It'd give more flexibility to those who constantly rant about woodwinds, amplification/narration etc... "TommySopranoContra's talking about how much he loves the Cadets again..." Oooooooh my goooooooood no waaaaaaaaaaay -

It's an excellent way of getting around that stupid language control thing. Personally, cursing is part of culture! Long live me! -

2006 top 12 standings
TommySopranoContra replied to kkbari's topic in DCI World Class Corps Discussions
I meant those tied shows for The Cadets, Phantom Regiment, and Santa Clara Vanguard are arguably one of their most acclaimed repretoires. You really have to admit there would be a lot of people mad if that tie breaker rule existed for 1996, 1999, and 2000. Imagine, same score... but second place. 2000 The Cadets would have lost their undefeated season finals night because of a sudden drop in GE scores. Under the tie breaker, the Cadets' almost undefeated GE until their loss at finals night would have led The Cavaliers to their 3rd championship medal. No seriously imagine the upheaval if The Cadets lost finals night but had the same score. With that kinda crowd at the end of their show, Byrd stadium would have fallen apart in rage. Personally I hate tie breakers. At least ties give me more championships shows to appreciate. Plus it gives more people medals. :P -

2006 top 12 standings
TommySopranoContra replied to kkbari's topic in DCI World Class Corps Discussions
People get so mad right now about Corps X should have won. Imagine having the score the same but one winner. There will be rage! If the tie breaker actually happened for the 3 other tied championships 2000 The Cavaliers would have won 1999 Blue Devils would have won 1996 Blue Devils would have won Each of the losing corps during these ties had their (what is considered to be) their corps favorite show. Whew the mad faces! ^0^ -
Hey, thats not right
TommySopranoContra replied to Blackstar's topic in DCI World Class Corps Discussions
It's so odd hearing an orchestra play Medea. I love the all brass style of it. I agree with whoever stated the SCV 89 thing. I enjoy SCV's phantom of the opera much more than the musical. -
What's your favorite range extension excercise? My favorite is the Blue Devils Range Extension in the Dynasty of Brass
