1.Blue Devils 2.Phantom 3.Cavaliers 4.Crown Spartacus was one of my favorite alltime shows and was certainly the fan favorite.....but my opinion, BD was more demanding and should have won.

My picks: 1980 SPIRIT OF ATLANTA 1980 BLUE DEVILS 1980 MADISON SCOUTS 1988 SCV 1995 MADISON SCOUTS 1995 BLUE DEVILS 1987 CADETS 2006 PHANTOM

I saw both SPIRIT & Glassmen several times over the season including Quarters, Semis & Finals. SPIRIT-Loud! Loved the opener; loved the soprano features in Waltz; Baritone in Blues in the Night had best solo in all DCI (IMHO) ,Blue Shades was great at times. They were close to passing G-Men at the end of the season but did not clean as well. The future looks bright for SPIRIT (Heard they only aged-out 9 from the hornline. GREAT JOB SPIRIT!! Glassmen- I have never been a huge fan. First time I was not impressed with drill but over the season the show as a whole grew on me. Great opening sound but standstill lasted a bit long. I thought they beat SPIRIT basically because they cleaned better. Also they saved their best shows for Madison. Way to go G-Men. I was in row 17 in Camp Randall on the 45 and I say this was one of the best years top to bottom I have witnessed.

I agree. SPIRIT seems to get stronger (and Louder) everytime I have seen them. (6 different shows). Glassmen seemed a bit flat last two shows. Loving SCV's show more and more. Cavies & Phantom ......amazing shows. Old fan.

Your son would love Spirit. My son is in his 2nd year with SPIRIT. The new additions to the staff are great. Dr Chip Crotts & Dr Ray Vasquez are excellent teachers & the kids love them. I have seen the show several times and they have improved each time. The fans at the shows love the performance. They will be fine as soon as they clean up certain parts of the show. Try to get to a show soon. You will see what I mean.
