Sutasaurus Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 '85 Phantom- Symphonie Fantastique I have to agree with you there. Beast of a drill, RIP John B Brazale , and the horn writing was some of best from Jim Wren. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dale Bari Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 I have to agree with you there. Beast of a drill, RIP John B Brazale , and the horn writing was some of best from Jim Wren. That 1985 program was a beast of a brass book from Jim Wren, too. Much harder than most of the other corps that year, IMO. I love the final chord of "March to the Scaffold". (A little baritone heavy - IOW, perfect.) I never gave this show much thought until after I became a Phan in 1989. Then, I went back and listened more closely - and got hooked!

mr.mello Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 You never hear much about these shows... Crossmen '93 Glassmen '95 Colts '96 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hrothgar15 Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 82 Garfield hardly ever gets mentioned, but much better than 83 imo. They jumped 2 spots at finals. Mmmm yes. I'll take their Cuban Overture over Scouts '94 most days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
booboo Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 Some shows that I never tire of listening to: Madison Scouts 2000 Boston Crusaders 2001 Glassmen 2002 Bluecoats 2003 These were all 7-10 place and very underated, IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mad_scotty Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 You never hear much about these shows...Crossmen '93 Glassmen '95 Colts '96 i saw the glassmen in 95 at the jacksonville al show from the press box standing about 10 feet from their staff and i wanted to hug all of them. loved that show, even more so because when i marched madison the glassmen were kind of like our midwestern little brothers, we used to cheer for them and the colts at every show.

whitedawn Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 THANK YOU...no one believes me when I say this is my favorite version of Malagueña in DCI. Even people who marched this show don't seem to like it, and apparently George Hopkins was disappointed in the direction it went. eh... the show was good enough, but it was kind of a waste. that was the BEST CORPS i've ever seen with a show that screams "non-world champion," which is disappointing. the battery and pit were amazing, the guard was unreal, and the hornline was outstanding (but not quite 2001 caliber). (also, the drum majors were phenomenal -- and handsome and charming, of course.) kinda makes me wish we had done something a little more-out there, instead of reruns where the original couldn't be matched. (but the z-pull was awesome to see every night.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hrothgar15 Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 eh... the show was good enough, but it was kind of a waste. To you. That happens to be one of my favorite Cadets show and corps. Aside from Rocky Point Holiday I thought the pieces definitely lived up to the original, at least from what I've seen in DCI. I loved the design of that show in and out. Weird to think a random fan appreciates a show that he never even saw live more than one of the drum majors that year... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raphael18 Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 I'll dare to throw three more out there (I got to watch a lot more shows live repeatedly in 04 than most years): Crossmen 04 - I really enjoyed this show from top to bottom - the ballad turned into a great moment. Magic 04 - People can say what they will, I thought this show was a freaking blast to watch. Loved it. Mandarins 04 - Love the Last Samaurii soundtrack, and even I was impressed by a rifle line spinning two rifles at once. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
