raphael18 Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 (edited) I'm going to say Bluecoats 2002 (I still think it's one of the best shows they've ever put out). It works alone musically, but the visual and music really work together to create the overall affect of sunrise. Edit: Close second: Cadets 00 Edited May 8, 2008 by raphael18 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary Matczak Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 (edited) I'm still pretty enamored with 07 Madison's opening. The vocal to horn fade is very effective, and the stop-step drill is something that sells well to fans and newbies alike. me too,.................the turn with fist on the hip segment demands your full attension................into the sop solo/running segment,................into Zeppelin, is just awesome!

Lance Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 BD's 98 opener was pretty simple, but really nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InspaDave Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 Well, it's form was pretty simple ... but it qualifies in my book as undeniably the best opener in the history of the activity:SCV 87 - Russian Christmas Music Best opener ever? I don't think so. I am in the extreme minority (consisting only of myself, I think) that hates SCV's RCM. Hate it. I'll take Madison's Captain From Castille ('87 version) over RCM any day.

tommytimp Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 I liked "Georgia" better in 79. Phantom's 96 opener is maybe the most emotional writing I 've ever heard on a field. Simply awe-inspiring. How about "Nessun Dorma" in 91? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slow Adam Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 I really like the keyboard work in Phantom's intro from 2007. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob J Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 1980 Garfield "One Voice"1981 Cavaliers Winter Me, Summer Me 1882 Garfield Con. F 2 out of my three choices here - Garfield '80 and '82. Break out your old records. Listen. Best simple openers hands down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bucbari Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 Spirit of Atlanta, 1980, "Georgia on My Mind."Game over. Not even close!!!.. end of discussion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrinkinOuttaCups Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 Not even close!!!.. end of discussion. Not really, because now you're probably gonna have people asking you what you think the best opener is. That being said, since you don't agree with Spirit 1980, what do you think is the best opener? (Not the) end of discussion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
