megadrive Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 I know it's still REALLY REALLY early to be discussing this, but the amount of great stories, upsets, and all around exciting shows made me question, where does 2008 rank among the greatest years ever in DCI history?

bawker Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 It's close for me. . .gonna need some more time to digest everything that took place. Definitely the most drama up top since 1996. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tupid_06 Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 Definitely the greatest year since I've been following on DCP (since 2003). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skajerk Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 I'm with Bawker. I'll have to sit on it for a bit. But WOW!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRB Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 I recall a thread about the best year ever maybe about 1 year ago. The winner as I recall was 1980. That happened to be my age out year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newseditor44 Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 Like I said earlier... I have some friends who have been to every finals for the past 25 or so years. They sent me a text message after Regiment performed saying this was by far the best show in the history of DCI. Like Bawker, I think it will take some ti9me to put everything in perspective, but I think it is very safe to say It's a solid lock for all time top 5!

gbell211 Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 This turned out to be a really good year for drum corps, but I don't think it's the best ever. For the most part, I really enjoyed the performances. So, when was the last good year of drum corp before this one?? 2003?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Scott Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 Looking back... Phantom Wins (outright...no tie) Blue Devils with but ONE defeat all year. 24 Year scoring (semi's to finals) trend ends Carolina Crown Contending Top 4 going into Quarters within .5 Blue Stars back in finals WITH A BULLET Men of Madison back in the finals dance ...sooooo Competitively, this is (IMHO) the best year ever. Stacked from top to bottom. I know it's still REALLY REALLY early to be discussing this, but the amount of great stories, upsets, and all around exciting shows made me question, where does 2008 rank among the greatest years ever in DCI history?

hughesmr Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 Nah, 1989 still is the tops for me. Even though Regiment deserved the title that year, too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huntington Mallets Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 (edited) I still have (off the top of my head). 07, 05, 03, 99, 92, and 88 better than 08 in top to bottom quality ...hooray opinions!
