  1. Madison 99 Jesus Christ Superstar was also an emotional goldmine that sometimes doesn't get noticed with the tie for the championship between BD and SCV. But in my opinion, it was a top 3 show for entertainment value. It didn't hurt that finals were in Madison! I was at that show and the crowd was crazy for that show, I never get tired of watching/listening to it. I was in Indy in 2011 and when the DCI vendors put this show on their big screen a big crowd quickly gathered to watch it.
  2. What about an Irish show? What would Pioneer do?
  3. 2007 was a scary year. There was a huge staff departure, and for good reason; Madison was in huge financial trouble due to the managing of the Salas years. But they were still afloat for now. The goal was no longer "make Finals", and unfortunately more along the lines of "make Finals and... OH we need to stay alive". The 4 tunes chosen for the show had very little "Madison" feel to it, and the corps itself seemed depleted from the shortcomings of staff departure. It was clearly trying to match the new direction of DCI design, but unfortunately didn't have the ammo or design chops to compete. People often claim this was the identity crisis at its worst. An old corps trying to be new. The opening of the show was actually pretty amazing, but aside from that this corps seemed like it just needed to keep its head above water. After an incredibly terrifying series of early season placements, the 2007 corps placed 15th overall. (New Uniforms... AGAIN) I believe the opening drill was actually written for when the corps first entered the field, but it was so well received it was changed to the actual opener.
  4. Just got home, Colts were on fire as well as Blue Stars in my opinion. My Scouts didn't t seem on nor did Boston. The top 8 were incredible, if you stayed for the scores you would have seen the Bluecoats jump that the camera missed the first time!
