  1. Beautifully crafted show. Guard almost steals the show they were so wonderful and weird. As much as I loved the coats that year I don't think there was any doubt who was the winner that year. Definitely top to bottom one of the best of all time!
  2. Love both those shows. I have 2014 Coats and 2015 Crown at the end.
  3. There be some Devils hate going on here..lol That 2004 show was da bomb.
  4. Voted! '99 Cavies drill was killer. No one moved like them for a few years after that. The Cavies shows during that time were just on another level with regard to execution. I loved about half of the Cadets from 2007 but even though I didn't mind the narration as much as others it was just too much. The end of that show though is one of my favorite endings. Thanks for putting this together!
  5. I like this version. I'll admit I don't really enjoy listening to Anna Meredith much. It makes for great DCI source music but its not for my playlist..lol. I think the music needs to be combined with visuals to be effective. Just my opinion. I know this tune popped up in an iPhone commercial recently. It was perfect for that too.
  6. I remember so looking forward to this show. I was supposed to see it in Lexington and the show was rained out. I finally got to see it once at prelims live. I would have loved to see it outside. Never gets old
  7. Love it! Thanks. I know I've heard it before can't place it. Maybe a high school group too. Maybe a movie. DCX says Cavaliers 2018. Have to check that next. EDIT: Checked out Cavies 2018. I do remember that piece. That was an interesting show. I think I only saw that once that year. Enjoyed rewatching
  8. Just watched to check it out. See what you mean. Whole corp just seems to float across the field. Cool
  9. I'm always anxious to see the new show music every year. One reason is I always discover new music that I listen to for the first time. Here are a few off top of my head I listened to first through DCI but now I listen to regularly, and the Corp that introduced it to me. Would love to hear others! Bjork- Cadets 2005, Crown 2023 Youn Sun Nah and Ulf Wakenius- Bluecoats John Adams- Blue Stars Bobby McFerrin- Blue Knights Ennio Morricone- Troopers, Crown Too many to list!
  10. Bloo 2016, I saw them very early in Hamilton Ohio before alot of the buzz and I knew I was seeing something VERY different. It's not that often that you see something that different and unlike many others I immediately loved it. I was definitely surprised at what they put on the field.
  11. Don't remember why I missed. I was a retail manager and Saturdays were hard to take off but I usually at least hit the prelims. Must have been short staffed.
  12. That was great to see most of them back. I enjoyed Phantom and Cadets the most I guess that year.
  13. I disagree. Last season I attended the Mason OH show and it was sold out. Granted, there were 4 top 12 corps at that show. Perhaps the prices should vary more to reflect the number and caliber of the groups performing. My biggest gripe is when the ticket prices are high and the shows are rained out. I wish there was a way to get a credit to a future show.
  14. I started going to 2 or three shows a year beginning in 2006. I was busy working and raising kids during most of that time, so there are some years (shows) I really regret not seeing live. Here are a few off top of my head. Phantom 2008 Carolina 2015 Carolina 2008 Actually the whole season 2008 I missed unfortunately ***correction I did attend one show in 2008. I saw Cavaliers, Bluecoats, Bluestars, and Crossmen that year somewhere in Cincinnati. I remember loving Cavies Samarai show.
  15. I'm happy to pay to see the shows. I really enjoy seeing the corps. Not only do I personally get much enjoyment from a live show but I'm helping to develop young musicians minds and helping them to create memories that will last a lifetime. Unlike seeing a rock or pop artist live, the quality of the performance live is so much better than recorded. I can think of a few years I was working alot and didn't make it to a show, and I am always sad that I wasn't able to see those shows live.
  16. Really like Scouts selection. Ok, next! Lol I need my source music to listen to and get excited about the season. Gets me through the next few months...lol
  17. Looking for 2 good seats for 2024 prelims only. Thanks Bob
  18. I caught that when I saw the commercial. I had to look back to see for sure but I immediately heard Bluecoats!
  19. Seems like a real interesting person. Had such an impact on Drum Corp. I love the description of the creation and rehearsal of the cross to cross. I can picture all the members dialed in staying as long as needed to get it done. They must have had alot of confidence in him that it would be great.
  20. 1. Carolina Crown 2. Blue Devils 3. Troopers 4. Mandarins 5. Bluecoats
  21. I so enjoy those encore videos by "System Blue" Too bad we don't get them from other corps
