INeverMarched Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 I'm not sure what troll status means, but I almost put as my honorable mention just about any Cadet show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freakyswotboy Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 In no particular order..... 1975 SCV.....perfect effect score (yet lost!)....to play that book with valve/rotor....wow.....Vanguard percussion under Sanford, set new standards in this era, and paved the way.......I was just out of high school, and seeing these guys inspired me to get involved......... Undoubtedly my favourite too. A hugely underated show with two fabulous drum breaks! As for the rest: SCV 2009 Garfield 2000 Phantom 1997 Blue Devils 1975 Muchachos 1974 SCV 1987 Kingsmen 1974 27th Lancers 1979 Phantom 2008 Bridgemen 1977 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rifuarian Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 Like many others have said, it's hard to choose just 10. However, there are four shows I could watch over and over for hours and never get tired of: SCV 97, 98, 99, and 2000. These are the shows that turned me onto drum corps, and I've never grown tired. Beyond that, there are a few shows I never get tired of listening to: Phantom 96, BD 88 and 93, and Spirit 79-80. Those are my "transcendent" shows. My favorite shows are too numerous to whittle down to just 10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MusicInMotion Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 Based on the replies since the inception of this thread, the top ten shows of all time... #1 Phantom 08 (40) #2 Star 93 (36) #3 Cadets 00 (36) #4 Phantom 96 (35) #5 Vanguard 99 (34) #6 Crown 07 (32) #7 Crown 08 (32) #8 Phantom 89 (31) #9 Star 91 (31) #10 Madison 95 (29) I figure that if two shows get the same number of votes, the older show wins.

There are some that I have no memory of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
