Hmm, this could be tricky... 10) BAC '04 - Good corps, just didn't like the show concept. Thought Xmen '03 did a better color show. 9) Spirit '04 - For what they had in '02 and '03 this show was a let down. 8) Madison '07 - Meh. Too much hype imo. Nothing spectacular. 7) Cavies '07 - Great corps, just a let down from the last couple of years. 6) PR '04 - This show is just forgettable to me. I don't think I could sing 1 lick from that show. 5) SCV '05 - After '04, a big let down. Performance and design were both down. 4) Blue Stars '06 - Only saw it once. That was enough for me. 3) BK pretty much any year - For whatever reason, I just can't get into BK shows. Did like the intro to '03 though... 2) Crown '04 - I think I have to go back and watch it again, but I remember really not liking this show. 1) BD '05 - Usually I like Devils, but this show just never did it for me.

By corps: Cadets 00 Cadets 02 Cadets 05 Cadets 07 Cavies 02 Cavies 04 BD 03 SCV 04 PR 03 Bloo 05

The funny thing is that 4 out of the 5 shows I have marched so far made it into peoples least favorite shows....on the other side though, 3 out of the 5 have been mentioned in the "favorite" one. Funny stuff I guess....

How so? lol

Show sounds awesome. I have always thought BD marched extremely well, so it will be interesting to see how aggressive they can get with the visual package. It would be nice to see them move just a bit more (maybe less park and bark's??). Anyways very excited to see this show. Actually pretty excited to see most of the shows this year. Most competitive year in drum corps history ftw?? Should be fun!

My thoughts exactly. But guess i'll go with '89 Vanguard

Percussion - BD Brass - Cadets Guard - Cavies (with Cadets a close 2nd)

89 Cadets

How would it cut the time in half if there are the same amount of people??

Yeah definitely want the spirit of late 70's and 80's again. But the "Spirit" kids still play "Georgia" today........ -Cavies back to early 2000's -Madison to mid 90's

Just trying to point out that you may be the most narrow minded person on DCP. Those shows were amazing. If you disagree, go listen to those hornlines. Now those guys know how to play. If you can't enjoy the show, you can atleast agree with me on that!

The only performance I disagree with was BD '07. Great show, just preferred '06 over it. Kinda surprised Coats '07 made it. I love that show, just really liked the '05 show much much more. Oh and BigSnareline........have you EVER said anything good about Cadets. It seems like every single thread you post in, you manage to bring up how they are atrocities on the field. Is it really that painful to watch one of the best performed shows of all time (Cadets '05)?

Not sure if anyone else saw this but........ http://www.yea.org/site/PageServer?pagename=allacc_308 Warm showers in Drum Corps = :cool: :devil:

You know what the great thing about drum corps is???? You can go and watch your favorite corps anytime you want. What good does it do to call out a corps for winning an online poll? I think the Cadets are probably going to survive, even though you are not a fan........just a guess. Have a nice day. You have a very nice drum corps

Were we watching/listening to the same corps? Phantom didn't even come close to demand of drill nor volume of hornline. I think you just might be in the minority for thinking it. But hey, if Phantom is your favorite corps, more power to you. For me, Cavies endings are OK. I honestly did like the '03 ending, mainly because it made sense for that show. Like 04 and 06, not so much 02, 05, and 07. But hey, if you like it, more power to you.

You know, neither of these shows really do that much for me. I actually thought there were MUCH better shows that got voted off. Too bad all this is is a popularity contest. Oh well........SCV FTW

CMM here too. I read the forums a lot, just don't post very often.

Probably either Cadets or SCV. Cadets have a shot because the majority will vote for 05 out of the last 3 years. SCV might be in trouble b/c 06 and 07 were both great shows and votes might be torn between them. The same argument might be made about crown the last 2 years. Cavies 06 will make it, as will Phantom 06. BD probably 06. Anyway, my votes will be: -Cadets 05 -Phantom 06 -Cavies 06 -Bluecoats 06 -SCV 06 -Crown 07

$100 says the only solid reason is narration

Voted g-men. Yeah, cadets are going 1st though. If nothing else, the drill and music make up for the voice, imo

Amen Conner Amen. Cadets won't place lower than 4th this season. Heck I have them to win! ^_^ . There show is just going to be to be too demaniding compared to others........

Don't Cavies generally have great vet turn out anyway? So what is another 5 or 10 when you statistically have more return each year than most corps? 2nd year members usually get a big head and always think they are right because they have marched a year. they usually try to give out corrections to other members and fix things that aren't their responsibility. Or atleast that is what I have experienced

1) Cadets - 98.8 2) Cavaliers - 98.2 3) Devils - 97.9 -------------------- 4) Bluecoats - 95.5 5) Phantom - 95.4 6) SCV - 94.8 7) Crown - 94.5 -------------------- 8) Blue Knights - 90.2 9) BAC - 89.8 10) Madison - 88.7 11) Spirit - 87.7 12) Blue Stars - 87.2

I agree with you. The only thing though, is as of this summer, DCI is trying to fix this problem. The tour has been shortened by 2 weeks (starts 2 weeks later in June). Hopefully this change will help strengthen the corps we have, and offer a chance for more corps to break out. Along with the topic though, woodwinds would not be the answer. The answer is figuring out a better tour to allow more people the opportunity to get to the seats.

You're right, it doesn't mean it is solid, that is shown through the finals recordings of all the corps using them. Problems are going to happen with any technology. I've gone to many professional events, as I am sure you have, where professionals have problem with amps, wireless mics, etc. It's all about figuring them out, which is what every corps has done by finals week.
