What about the most famous one, Garfield Cadets' "Amen" at the end of the corps' 1977 show?

It resulted in one of the most classic photographed moments in DCI history in a following year when the corps' drum major (John (?) Hannigan (sp?) held up the sign stating something like, "Sorry, no vocal amen due to (something) point penalty."

Yep, that was John Hannigan, and it was "Sorry, no vocal Amen due to 1 pt. penalty."

Also, a bit of trivia ... Take a listen to the ending chord on the '77 Bridgemen's show ... It's a blues variation of the "Amen". It was not the original ending on the show, it was put in during the season, and was intended as a good-natured poke at Garfield, with whom we had a friendly cross-county rivalry.

Boston 2000 - Con te Partiro singing

Cavaliers 2000 - making wooosh noises.

Cadets 2000 - grunt when they kick after the "battle" section

PC 2000 - guard made some vocalization when they caught their sabres

I'm sure other corps and other years abound.

I believe it was also a reference to the Cadets show that year ("To Tame the Perilous Skies")

Anybody ever actually translate the "scat" in Spirit's '86 opener?

Dave Landers might know...he was in that line.

I asked Sean McDermott (Spirit 86-87, Gahfield 88, SoCal Dream 03-04, Mystikal/VK staff since then) about it one,,,he rattled the whole things off, but darned if I can remember it!

"chaaaaaa"

And the spoken snare break before the real snare break.
