LAMystreaux Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 WTF? as opposed to "this I believe" right? I was talking about from the crowd. Also, what is with your kneejerk reactions to all things Cadets? Noone even brought them up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCImonkey Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 You guys are funny, but I guess this goes back to my old manta I've conveniently reminded myself of.... "I love drumcorps....it's the fans that I can't stand." I hate myself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScoutMello Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 One thing I notice with the 98 videos/cds is that the audio quality of the recording is crap. It really doesn't do any of the shows that year justice. One of my favorite moments of 98 was in Rememberance. The mello-trill leading into the big hornline hit. Pure awesome.

Guizeppe Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 This was my first introduction to the Madison Scouts when they came out here to No.Cal. I saw them in Stockton that year and it is still one of my favorite shows of all time. I distinctly remember that night during retreat when they announced the scores, Madison was in third behind SCV and BD. The crowd booed when Madison's score was first announced...and then...the jeering directed at the judges slowly morphed into an uproar of applause for the Scouts. Really cool. Also, later that year, I received my first ever DCI 3-cd set of finals performances. My dad wanted to buy some new home theatre speakers for our living room. I went with him to Good Guys and took along my DCI cds. When it came time to test the various speakers in the giant room of speakers, the clerk asked if we had any particular music to test them with. I whipped out disc 1 and told him to play the Madison Scouts track. Imagine, an unthinkible number of watts blasting Madison throughout the entire store. Just awesome. And to top it off, in walks this big guy from somewhere else in the store, asking us what corps that is. I proudly said "Madison Scout 1998",.....he smiled.

PCSoprano9702 Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 Similar to Guizeppe's story, 1998 was my first exposure to Scouts live. It was in San Diego where the show line-up allowed me to get out of uniform and into the stands in time to see them. From their startingline entrance to the company front it was exactly what I was dreaming of when I decided to march drum corps. This is possibly my favorite show of all time. The guard in uniform doing rifle work at the beginning was perfect. Silks would have been a horrible mistake. Sometimes I am sitting at work and I start humming Rememberance out of nowhere - I ponder how much ### that show kicked, then I go back to work - seriously.

chris ncsu Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 I have a soft spot for all things 1998, Scouts included. I love the music book from top to bottom, especially Rememberence. Great last few seconds of the show too, that's an ending! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
