i loved everything about 2005, minus the drumspeak...great original music (especially loved the play on Medea)...i just loved the whole twisted Zone concept too. The only parts of 2006 i really liked were the drum feature and the moving on-field warmup...i did think that was pretty cool to tie in the ending to last year's show as a "refresher" to start off this year's show.

tough call....as far as total enjoyment i gotta give 007 a very close nod over Niagara Falls which gets a very close nod over Frameworks. I really liked Machine and thought it was a clear champion, but i dont think its one of my favorites (yet anyway). 2001 is a bit back from that, it was good but i wasnt really a huge fan...

i agree with those who think they have made pits too loud. I appreciate a lot of the little sound effects that can be used now but i honestly dont know if the tradeoff is worth it. I can think of at least 5 or 6 shows from 04-05 where the pit volume levels definitely put a damper on a show for me.

amen amen amen i loved both of those shows. I dont think 02 was quite clean enough to compete for finals, but still a great show. IMO 2003 got completely hosed on semi's night.

fantastic. the tradition of bad tanlines still lives on too!...

SCV's show is fantastic this year. Even if they finish 6th it will be a huge step forward in progress and something to be proud of seeing how tight this competition is. Kinda reminds me of 1990...the top 6 were really moving and moving till the very end so even if you finished 6th it could just as easily have been 4th the very next night.

fantastic asssessment.... not sure about the '87 remake though. It seems to me that some shows made such a mark in history that they should just be left alone...SCV did not do themselves any favors last year with their remake of RCM. I could really get into a '92 remake...or some other HOlsinger. Cadets+Holsinger = Good!

i miss the dots =/

SCV 2000 transformed me from a band kid who was a drum corps fan into the drum corps freak i am today...so there you go. They have always been my favorite. Pure class, style, innovation, in your face...theyre awesome.

BD '94 and Cadets '93 for me

interesting....glad to see '04 Crown and '05 Bloo in the lineup! Both were shows that i really enjoyed.

hahahahahahah!!!!! i love it but will it be mic'ed?

SCV 2000 - end of the Bartok pieces with the collapsing triangle. Awesome drill, awesome horn flash, awesome guard with the toss and then laying down, and awesome mello lick! I dont know why I love it so much, its so simple, but i love that mello lick they used in 98-00. Cadets 1993 - either the end of the opener or the second piece...pick one. each had breakneck block rotations from #### that looked absolutely sweet. Blue Knights 2002 - end of the ballad...talk about a release. And i dont necessarily mean the cutoff, more like the release of tension being built throughout the ballad Crossmen 2002 - end of the opener was in your face. the entire show was hot as ####...i loved it! Just a few for now...

definitely 99-00 runner up: 98-99 02-03 87-88

i love that show! i dont get the bad rap it gets around here. sure it wasnt the cleanest ever but i liked the music a lot
