skajerk Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 OMG, if only the government could find a way to use your uber crotchety attitude as a renewable energy source!10 9 8 7 6 .... Counting down to the Countdown!!!!! Why isn't it here yet????!!!!! "Crotchety attitude"? Whatever. Guess you weren't paying attention to my posts last season when I was saying this one of the best DCI seasons I could remember which canceled out what I said about '07 being one of the best DCI seasons I could remember. I just think limiting The Countdown to shows that are fresh in our memory is the wrong choice. Would I love to see/hear '08 PR, Crown, Bluecoats (and Troopers) or '07Crown, Bluecoats and Glassmen again? Oh definitely! But why should our choices be limited? Give me 83-86 Suncoast. Or '79-86 Spirit, or Freelancers, 27th Lancers, Bridgemen, Skyryders etc! Why should we suffer short term memory when we have all those great shows in the DCI vault? Glad I'm on the Fan Network.

skajerk Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 More the loss....they were excellent when they were on.My point being that the poll is restricted....great shows DID exist before 2000... Careful, Sam. You'll get the "crotchety attitude" tag thrown at you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popcorn and Drum Corps, with surroundsound is a Grand thing! I guess if I really wanted to watch some old shows there are a few VHS's in the basement somehwere. It's just a matter of finding a VHS player... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

euponitone Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 (edited) I went on the record as defending last years countdown format, so long as it was only a 1 year deal. Apparently it is not. Mark me down as someone who aged out only 2 years ago, and thinks this format stinks. I probably wont be going, as I've seen most of these shows live, or on dvd dozens of times.
