mbird139 Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 Is it me, or does the format for this thing get worse every year?Once again, I'll pass. I think the best format would be to allow the voter to pick 6-8 shows from any year, any corps -- and no rules about how many times a corps or a year would appear on the screen. It would be the ultimate showdown to see what show is truly the champion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt_S Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 Wow. I used to think 2003 was my favorite drum corps year, but it can't hold a candle to 2006. Almost half of the shows for which I voted came from that year: 2008 Phantom Regiment 2008 The Cavaliers 2008 Blue Knights 2006 The Cavaliers 2006 Phantom Regiment 2006 Bluecoats 2006 Blue Knights 2006 Carolina Crown 2005 The Cadets 2005 Bluecoats 2004 Blue Devils 2003 Madison Scouts I'd really love to see 2003 Scouts make it. That's easily my favorite show from the years available, and IMO extremely underrated. It was tough to narrow this down to just 12 shows, so many great options to choose from, but I did give 2008 a bit of the benefit of the doubt, just for one more chance to see drum corps on my home turf.

CoHmempho04 Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 I wish they would go back to the way they did the 2005 and 2006 classic countdowns. Being one of those that didn't really get into drum corps until the early-mid part of this decade, it exposed me to some fantastic shows from the 70's through 90's, and made me want to explore more shows from that era. You know you can only do that a few times... especially if you make it so that the previous year's countdown isn't on the list. Then you get to the 2nd list then 3rd list then 4th list.

84BDsop Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 Suncoast Sound had their chances to get voted in -- and were not picked. More the loss....they were excellent when they were on. My point being that the poll is restricted....great shows DID exist before 2000... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stryfe Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 (edited) 2008 Phantom Regiment Spartacus 2008 The Cavaliers Samurai 2008 Bluecoats Knockout 2008 Santa Clara Vanguard 3HREE 2008 Madison Scouts La Noche de la Iguana 2006 Blue Devils The Godfather, Part Blue 2006 Bluecoats connexus 2006 Carolina Crown In.trance.it 2005 The Cadets The Zone [dreamscapes in four parts with a door] 2005 The Cavaliers My Kind of Town 2004 Blue Devils The SummerTrain Blues Mix 2003 Phantom Regiment Harmonic Journey I chose a couple less popular ones that I'm fond of, but otherwise, fairly standard. (Also, to explain to "wtfs?!" out there... I tried not to choose shows that have been shown in recent Countdowns, so no Faust, Machine, Rhapsody... most Phantom/Cavaliers stuff, really :P) Also, I love In.trance.it so much. Everyone should vote for it. :D Edited February 26, 2009 by Stryfe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
