  1. 1998 Stonehenge made me a permanent fan.

    Then I started looking back, before I was a fan, and 1992 To Tame the Perilous Skies is probably my favorite.

    2011 Between Angels and Demons was their last masterpiece, and my favorite memory of seeing them live in Indy.

    1987 Appalachian Spring sometimes brings a tear.

    I was at the Glassboro show this evening. Cadets did an amazing job. There was a great deal of audience support, probably the most consistent applause and cheering of the evening, especially from a number of alums sitting in my area. The true test for me is my Apple Watch. It notifies me when I am in a place where the noise is too loud. Cadets opening set off my watch. 

    I've been a little smug that they were finally putting out a show with no voiceover. And now they've put it in. Maybe they were planning it all along, or had it in reserve in case they decided they needed it for clarity of intent. I haven't gotten a clear listen from amateur videos yet - what was your reaction to it? In some ways, it makes the percussion transition segments (where much of the narration is) seem more obviously transitional, like advancing the story along.

    I may be wrong but I only find the Cadets next show a week out. Another week not competing? I guess they don't need the cash as badly as I thought which is good...I guess. :angel1:.

    They have shows tonight, Tuesday,  Thursday, Saturday...

    Just a thought.... what if we did a march maddness poll for the best 2nd place show? 

    mmm  ooo yes. Some good ones have been mentioned, I'll throw in (don't think anyone said these):

    • 3 cadets shows - 1992 in particular. Also 1997, perhaps 2007
    • SCV 1988

  5. Interesting tournament results! Thanks for arranging!

     

    The things that surprised me most:

    • How far SCV 1998 made it. Great show, but...
    • How close Cadets 1985 vs Cadets 1990 was (19 vs 17 votes). Cadets 1985 is a masterpiece and the perfect endcap on their 3-peat.
    • SCV 2017 beating Blue Devils 1986, wow! But then, pleasantly surprised Stonehenge slid past SCV 17.
    • Fairly surprised that Cadets 93 beat Babylon. I agree with it, just surprised.
    • I like Spartacus a lot, but I groaned a bit that it beat Cadets 84 so handily.
    • Some votes for Cavies 05, against PR 89?? 😋 Interesting. But then, kind of surprised how easily PR 89 beat SCV 99.
    • Also, some votes for BD 07 up against Star 93?? WOW. (Sorry, just can't get into much of BD 07)

    Didn't realize that people were picking on me. If they want to help me tend to the horses then they are welcome to help me. Maybe I can help them figure out out trombones need to balance to tubas. Poor souls.

    Picking with love only!
